No Bitcoin option for donations! :(

  Soliciting donations in currencies other than the US dollar while running for Congress would look bizarre and unpatriotic to most people, not to mention that it might be interpreted as an attempt to circumvent laws on political donations.

    I believe its already been done http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2014/01/10/260572933/bitcoin-takes-stage-in-texas-campaign http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2014/01/10/260572933... I'll admit I'm a little surprised there wasn't some legal ramification

      It gets converted into US dollars before it hits the campaign bank account, so no different from a cash contribution really.
