Anybody else having a problem with ActBlue?

[csziggy]

I got an email from Nancy Pelosi about the petition to support a Constitutional Amendment ending Citizens United but I keep getting error messages when I try to get to ActBlue to sign the petition. Neither the link in the email or just the direct link.

Every link reverts to a https secure connection and I get a message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to secure.actblue.com. The OCSP server found the request to be corrupted or improperly formed. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_malformed_request)

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

I see a Facebook account for them, but I hate Facebook and don't want to use it.

1. Might be

one of those "trick" emails that send you bogus info. Like those RW ads that try to look authentic but are paid for by some enemy of those they pretend to support?



Never heard of Actblue.

3. ActBlue is legit - I've donated through them and signed petitions before

But the site was down earlier. It's back up now so whatever was going on has been resolved.

The petition I was trying to sign now sends me to the DCCC:

Support a Constitutional Amendment to End Citizens United

Special interest groups funded by billionaires like the Koch brothers are spending tens of millions to influence our political system.

Join the call for a Constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and bring transparency back to our elections.

SIGN YOUR NAME: Help us reach 1,000,000 initial signers for a Constitutional amendment.

While I don't support the DCC monetarily, I signed the petition.

4. I know they're legit - their site was down earlier but it's back now.

See my post above for the petition I was trying to sign.

5. legit but not competent

Continuous problems as they try to fix problems and expand without testing.
Latest, no matter what you type in to the"other" box, you are charged $25 on your credit card.
This has limited my impulse donations, as they now extort small donations.
