Evidence
AI Analysis Summary
This solicitation advertises an '800% MATCH' and '8X-MATCH' (e.g., '800% MATCHING every single gift,' '800% MATCH UNLOCKED'). Political committees almost never run genuine donor matching programs, making this claim highly improbable and misleading to donors. The landing page also reinforces 'MATCH UNLOCKED' and that gifts will be MATCHED.
Policy Violations
False/Unsubstantiated Claims
The message uses misleading gimmicks implying a time-sensitive obligation to 'confirm' a '2025 Democratic Membership' and that only 'TWO' people from a specific ZIP code must act before a deadline. These tactics resemble fake or expiring memberships/subscriptions intended to pressure donors.
Matching Program Permitted
ActBlue has reviewed evidence submitted by this sender and verified that their matching program meets ActBlue's standards. This sender is permitted to promote this matching program. That said, political committees almost never run genuine donor matching programs – donors should remain skeptical of such claims even when permitted by ActBlue.
