31. Chrome browser now reports contribute.sinkforcongress2014.com was reported as a phishing site!

Unfortunately my Internet Explorer browser doesn't.

Chrome doesn't report any problems with three of the other URLs I know of ...

Kyrsten Sinema
FAKE Website URL: http://contribute.sinemaforcongress.com/

Ann Kirkpatrick
FAKE Website URL: http://contribute.kirkpatrickforcongress2014.com

Martha Robertson
FAKE Website URL: http://contribute.martha-robertson.com/?

I've reported on the Kyrsten Sinema one to Chrome, and I'm reporting on the other two (Ann Kirkpatrick and Martha Robertson). But I'm sure it takes more than one person reporting this to move these folks off the dime ... you can report by, in your Chrome browser: Alt Shift I, or Settings -> Tools -> Report and Issue

Oh, there's a couple of others that are reported to have fake websites, but I haven't looked up the URLs yet:

Amanda Renteria (CA), John Tierney (MA) <- a token man at last! 5 women and one man reported on in this thread.


People need to hear about it every time this happens. Thank you. n/t Judi Lynn Feb 2014 #1
