Paypal Freezes Recount Fund, Inteferes with New Hampshire Recount | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 340815 United States 01/16/2008 02:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There should be a massive boycott against PayPal for interfering with our electoral process. This is millions of people's lives they're screwing with. ------------------------------------- [link to www.prisonplanet.com] Paypal Freezes New Hampshire Recount Funds Deadline missed as Granny Warriors' account is locked down Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Wednesday, January 16, 2008 Paypal has frozen the fundraising account of the Granny Warriors, a Ron Paul supporters group who had been pushing for a recount in New Hampshire, causing a 3pm Tuesday deadline to be missed and the application rejected for lack of payment. The Granny Warriors had raised the necessary $55,600 deposit for the recount but at the last minute before it was transferred to the New Hampshire Secretary of State, Paypal blocked access to the funds. No explanation has been forthcoming from Paypal as to why the corporation froze the account. "Emergency efforts by our folks on the scene in New Hampshire to push the recount through the Secretary’s office were not successful and a lot of frustration has been expressed on both sides as a result," writes a recount volunteer on the RonPaulWarRoom website. "The problem was not with the Secretary of State for New Hampshire, it was with PayPal. I understand that the matter may remain unresolved and a recount may still be possible. I am hoping for additional information early Wednesday, January 16th." However, The strict 3pm deadline for funds to be transferred imposed by Secretary of State William M. Gardner doesn't seem to be in accordance with the law, as Dennis Kucinich's Attorney Manny Krasner pointed out, only a written guarantee of payment is required to secure a recount. On the Democrat side, Kucinich did transfer the funds in time for a recount and this will start today. Volunteers are encouraging people to contact Paypal via [link to investor.shareholder.com (secure)] and voice their grievances. |
