They should change it back so that people have to pick recurring. ActBlue is honest, I have donated through them since they were a group of four or five people. Now, I think they are linked to the DNC and do national fundraising for all Democrats, well known and not. Big organizations like Democratic Presidential campaigns have their own donation collection, but ActBlue is critical to upstart Democratic candidates and can cover the range from Governor and US Senate races to local Democrats that sign their campaign up with them. I always leave a "tip" when I donate because it seems that is how ActBlue tries to cover it's expenses.
