Ending Hidden Political Subscriptions: Affirmative Consent for Recurring Contributions

This act aims to protect citizens from unknowingly signing up for recurring political campaign contributions. It mandates clear consent for such contributions, meaning money cannot be automatically deducted if you haven't actively agreed. Additionally, you will receive clear information about each contribution and an easy way to cancel it.
Key points
No more automatic, recurring political campaign contributions without your explicit consent.
Failing to uncheck a box will no longer be considered consent for recurring payments.
You will receive a receipt for each recurring contribution, including the next payment date and cancellation instructions.
You can easily cancel future recurring contributions at any time upon request.
