    Why do I have to "agree to the above terms"?

    I got a "JAVA" error message what do I do?
    In some browsers, like Internet Explorer 6 (I.E. 6), Java content is blocked for you and you need to give permission for it to load. There is a yellow text box in I.E. 6x that tells you that a script has been blocked. Click the box and click on "allow blocked content..." and then answer "YES" to the second warning. Or, set the permission in your preferences. This is also an XP service pack 2 feature.

    Also, your firewall or popup blocker may be set to not allow the script to run. To access our online account you will need to change those settings, to allow the script to run.


    Can I make donations with a credit card online?
    Yes, as of September 3, 2004 you can now use your credit card to make a donation online. You can use either Master Card, Visa or Discover Card.

    Just make sure you are using either Microsoft I.E. 6.x or Mozilla 1.x or better, because the donation software does not work properly with Netscape.


    Can I make donations with Pay Pal?
    Not at this time. We are looking into adding this payment method, so if you would like it, let us know.


    Can you invoice me for my donation?

    Yes, go through the Donate Online and on the 3rd page where you are asked for your "Payment Method" use the pull down menu and pick "Invoice". We will send you a Pledge Invoice with a remittance envelope and you can mail us your donation. This is a much slower process then either using a credit card or using our Donation Form - to make donations by mail. So we recommend using the donation form instead.


    Can I just mail you my donation?

    Yes, just go to our Donation Form - to make donations by mail page and print this form and mail it with your check made payable to Citizens For A Better America ®
    P.O. Box 7647
    Van Nuys CA 91409-7647

    If you are unable to print the form, that is O.K., just use it to verify that your donation meets the standards set by the F.E.C. If you can check off that you can "confirm that the following statements are true and accurate: [ ] *Check Here" then your donation meets these standards. Make your check payable to Citizens For A Better America ® and mail it to the address listed above.

    Thank you for your donation.


    There are lots of government regulations about donations to political groups, do I qualify?

    Federal Election Law (FEC.GOV) requires compliance with the following statements:

    If you can confirm that the following statements are true and accurate then you qualify to donate.

    1. I am a United States citizen or a permanent resident alien.
    2. I am making this contribution from my own funds, and not those of another.
    3. I am not a federal contractor.
    4. I am making this contribution on my own personal credit card and not with a corporate or business credit card.
    5. I am at least 18 years of age.
    6. I am contributing no more than $5000.00 per calendar year to all funds of Citizens For A Better America (R) (CFABA.ORG).


    Will my name show up on some report?

    Yes and No.

    Yes, if you donate over $200.00 in any calendar year we are required to list your name and address as well as your employer and occupation on the report we file. That is why we ask you for all the necessary information up front.

    No, if you donate under $200.00 in a calendar year we are not required to list your personal information and we choose not to. We know that privacy is very important and that is why we added our "Privacy Membership" for $199.99. It is for those supporters who wish to donate the maximum they can each year and still not show up on any of our reports.


    I can not see the page or I get a 404 page not found error when I click to donate, what is wrong?

    Check your browser, this is usually a browser issue. Currently our online donation software requires the use at the minimum either Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 7.x or Mozilla 1x (Mozilla is an open source browser developed by those who developed the original Netscape, so if you liked Netscape we think you will like Mozilla).

    It is our continual goal to keep our websites as browser friendly as possible and on the rest of our website you should be able to view it with any browser, but because of security concerns there are less browsers that can be used with credit card processing software.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you are in another browser all you need to do is to swipe the address above, in the address bar; copy and paste it in one of the browsers that will work with the software. If you get an error page using either I.E. or Mozilla then please let me know, and if you find another browser that works I'd like to know that as well, Webmaster@cfaba.org


    I use Netscape will I have any problems?

    Yes, we have had some reported problems with Netscape. The donation pages do not display or are not displayed properly. While in some versions they appear to work actually they do not function properly and the graphics are not displayed right. You may not be able to use Netscape to make a donation. Maybe a future update will fix this problem. We share your disappointment as Netscape is one of the browsers we use ourselves. We have found that Mozilla (Mozilla 1x) is a good substitute and it works fine with the donation software.

    See also I can not see the page or I get a 404 page not found error when I click to donate, what is wrong?


    Is it secure to make my donation online?
    Yes, we use a secure server to process all your information. You will need to use either Microsoft Internet Explorer 6x or Mozilla 1x or better to use the secure server. (See also, I can not see the page or I get a 404 page not found error when I click to donate.)

    Both of these browsers show a closed lock when you are on a secure page, so be sure to always check for the 'close lock' symbol on the bottom right hand side.

    When you click on

    DONATE ONLINE

    you will notice the lock has changed to closed, you will also notice the "BBBOnLine Reliability" logo on the bottom of the page and that it is a "thawte secure site".


    What if the lock on the bottom of my browser is not closed?
    If the lock is not closed do not proceed. Email us at Webmaster@cfaba.org and let us know what browser you are using and what address came up in the address line. The browser version can usually be found under the 'Help' menu in 'About'. This will help us keep our site secure and serve our donors better.


    What information are you going to ask for?
    We will need you to choose how much you wish to donate. We have various levels and projects to choose from. Our regular membership is $60.00 a year. After you choose a donation amount then you will be asked to provide us your name address and other information, including your Occupation and Employer. This information is required by Federal Regulation. You can look at our mail in Donation Form - to make donations by mail which asks for the same information. Lastly you will be asked your payment method. You can choose credit card (Master Card, Visa or Discover) or invoice (this is like a pledge and we will invoice you ).


    What will I have to do?
    If you like to know what will happen before you start here is the info. you are looking for.

    • FIRST Pick how much you want to donate and/or what you want to donate to. Then click continue.
    • SECOND Provide us your name address and other information, including your Occupation and Employer. This information is required by Federal Regulation. You can see our mail in Donation Form - to make donations by mail which asks for the same information.

      You can choose to be remember so the next time you come to donate online you will not have to type the same information again. This is not required just suggested.

    • THIRD Select your payment method, credit card or invoice.
      You may use either your Visa, Master Card or Discover Card. You will nee to provide your credit card number and expiration date. You will also need your verification number which is usually a 3 digit number found on the back of your card.

      If you choose Invoice then you will not be asked for credit card information.

    • LASTLY Click the Finish Button. A receipt page will appear and a receipt will also be sent to the email address you provided in step 2.

    Please, note the name Click&Pledge will appear on your credit card statement not the name Citizens For A Better America ®, so please do not be confused.


    Why does the 'Continue' button not show up?

    On the first page you must both choose an amount to donate and check off that you agree to the above terms before you will be able to proceed.


    Why does nothing happen when I click the 'Continue' button?

    On the first page you must both choose an amount to donate and check off that you agree to the above terms before you will be able to proceed. If you have done both, then try unchecking and rechecking the 'agree to these terms' box. It seems that in sometimes this or refreshing the page and entering the data again solves the problem. If the problem persists please email us at Webmaster@cfaba.org


    Why do I have to "agree to the above terms"?

    As a non-connected political committee we have to follow very specific federal regulations.

    Federal Election Law (FEC.GOV) requires compliance with the following statements:

    I confirm that the following statements are true and accurate:

    1. I am a United States citizen or a permanent resident alien.
    2. I am making this contribution from my own funds, and not those of another.
    3. I am not a federal contractor.
    4. I am making this contribution on my own personal credit card and not with a corporate or business credit card.
    5. I am at least 18 years of age.
    6. I am contributing no more than $5000.00 per calendar year to all funds of Citizens For A Better America (R) (CFABA.ORG).

    It is our goal that donating to Citizens For A Better America ® would be as easy and convenient as possible, that is why we have you sign off that you qualify to donate to our type of committee. This saves you the time and effort if you do not qualify.
