New Feature: MeS Credit Card Reconciliation Reports
If you use WidgetMakr or if you have a Merchant e-Solutions (MeS) account linked to your Crimson database, there are several reports now available to make it easier to reconcile credit card transactions processed through your merchant account.
A merchant account is a type of bank account that enables your campaign to accept donations through credit or debit cards. These accounts process the credit or debit card payments in order to charge your Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express card.
These MeS reports were previously only available online through the MeS website but can now be directly accessed through Crimson. CMDI also customized the reports to make it easier to find transactions and donor details.
In order to access these accounts, you must be processing credit cards through Crimson, contact the Crimson Support Team to enable access to them, and know your MeS Merchant account number and password.
MeS Reports Available in Crimson:
• Reconciliation Report
This report compares the totals for credit card transactions for each day that falls within the selected range. The report will display the total processed for each card type according to the Crimson database compared to what is reported by MeS daily.
This report is helpful when you are having trouble reconciling deposits in transit — transactions that were processed near the end of one reporting period and/or at the beginning of another.
• MeS Batch Summary
This report displays batch totals according to MeS for each credit card type. It shows total counts and amounts for each card type as well as totals for any merchant credits or refunds that were processed via MeS' online portal.
This report does not show daily totals. Instead it displays the totals for the entire date range entered into the criteria.
• MeS Batch Detail
This report displays the MeS details for all individual transactions that match the criteria you have entered in the filters. In addition to displaying the transaction details from Crimson (e.g. batch number, batch date, card type, authorization code, amount, etc.), you can also click the links under Crimson Tran# to view the corresponding Crimson money record.
• MeS Chargeback
This report pulls MeS chargebacks that were submitted by donors in your Crimson database. In addition to the chargeback details normally shown through the reports on MeS' online portal, you can:
- Click on the Crimson Tran# to see the original transaction for which the chargeback was submitted.
- Click on Crimson CB Tran# to view the chargeback adjustment record in Crimson and confirm that it was handled properly.
If you have further questions about these reports, please check out the guide on the Crimson Helpdesk or call the Crimson Support Team at 1-800-878-6837.

Tips from CMDI's Compliance Experts
Campaign finance regulations can be complicated, and even the most seasoned experts know to expect occasional errors. Our experienced compliance team has learned that the following "best practices" help prevent common mistakes. Here's some practical advice for campaigns to keep in mind!
- Coordination: Coordination between a campaign's treasury and finance departments is very important. Compliance is not the only department that needs to be familiar with FEC regulations! Fundraisers should be informed, as well. They can prevent compliance problems from arising and help the compliance department operate more efficiently. For example, federal regulations ban contributions from corporations and foreign nationals. Fundraisers shouldn't solicit contributions that the compliance department would later have to refund.
- Data Hygiene: Data hygiene can also help the compliance department operate effectively. This is especially for true for campaigns that work with large datasets. In general, campaigns should rely on one consolidated database that includes all donor records. That way, duplicate records are easy to identify. Duplicate records make it more difficult for the compliance staff to discover an over-limit contribution before the FEC's 60-day deadline. This can lead to unnecessary refunds. After the deadline has passed, the over-limit contribution must be refunded rather than simply re-attributed or re-designated.
- An Ounce of Prevention: Campaigns should be aware of the most common mistakes made by donors. Unfortunately, some issues are hard to avoid. A donor may forget to sign a check or make it out to the wrong committee. Other mistakes can be prevented by solid communication with donors, such as by explaining the various contribution limits for campaigns and PACs. If campaigns remind donors of these limits, they may have fewer over-limit contributions to address later.
- Know Your Resources: The FEC's regulations are available on their website. The commission also provides guides for congressional candidates, party committees, non-connected committees and corporations and labor organizations that outline important compliance guidelines for every type of committee. The FEC's Educational Outreach page offers additional resources, such as on-demand informational videos, live webinars and information on regional conferences.
- Check and double check: The most important "best practice" is to always double check. Compliance departments can't be too careful.
- Don't work alone: Finally, it is a good idea to work with a company prepared to offer expert data and compliance services, like CMDI!
Holmes vs. FEC: An Uncertain Future for Primary & General Election Contribution Limits
"Per election" contribution limits restrict how much money donors can contribute to a campaign during the primary and general elections. For the 2016 election cycle, the FEC increased these limits to allow contributions of up to $2,700 in the primary and up to $2,700 in the general election. However, the future of "per election" limits may be uncertain.
A case challenging the constitutionality of these limits is currently being litigated in federal court. In 2014, donors Laura Holmes and Paul Jost filed a case claiming that the "per election" limits abridged their First and Fifth Amendment rights. The district court initially dismissed both claims, but the plaintiffs' appeal was heard in 2016.
The Center for Competitive Politics, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of the plaintiffs, justified the case by explaining that the plaintiffs still wish to abide by contribution limits set by Congress but see the split between primary and general elections as an infringement on their Constitutional rights. According to Allen Dickerson from the Center for Competitive Politics:
"[T]he law allows a contributor to associate with an individual candidate up to $5,200 per election cycle. Ms. Holmes and Mr. Jost will abide by that limit. They do not wish, however, to split their contributions between the primary and general elections in order to fully exercise their associational rights. Instead, they wish to give to candidates challenging incumbents who did not face significant opposition from within their own political party.
First, Holmes and Jost claim that the "per election" limits favor candidates who do not face primary challengers – and their donors. A candidate who did not face a primary opponent can transfer surplus primary funds. Effectively, the candidate could use an entire $5,400 contribution during the general election campaign – based on limits for the 2016 cycle. Conversely, a candidate who faces a primary challenger is likely to spend a $2,700 contribution designated for the primary election during the primary, but he or she can then only accept $2,700 during the general election.
The plaintiffs claim that the resulting "asymmetry" violates the Fifth Amendment. However, the appellate court dismissed this challenge because it arose from FEC regulations regarding the timing of contributions and the transfer of campaign funds, not the limits in the Federal Election Campaign Act.
Secondly, the plaintiffs state that, as donors, they principally wish to support their party's nominee. They only want to contribute to the campaign during what they consider the most important part of the race, the general election. The donors would like to contribute $5,400, the total amount already permitted, to a candidate's general election campaign. As a result, they claim that the current "per election" limits infringe on their First Amendment rights to participate in the democratic process through campaign contributions.
A 2014 Wall Street Journal editorial agreed:
"The artificial distinction between primary and general elections also makes it harder for less ideological or partisan donors, who may be less involved in primaries, to make their voices heard in the general election. A glance at the most competitive House races for 2014 shows that nearly all incumbents have a cash-on-hand advantage over challengers. Rigging the donation game for incumbents is no justification for limiting political speech."
In April 2016, the appellate court decided that the First Amendment challenge was not "wholly unsubstantial" and deserved to move forward in the judicial process. The appellate court returned the case to the district court, which must certify the First Amendment challenge to the court of appeals before a ruling can be issued. While appellate court will hear the question again in the near future, Holmes vs. FEC has the potential to reach the Supreme Court, like many recent cases involving political contributions.
While the elimination of "per election" contributions seems unlikely, given the uncertainty of the Supreme Court's makeup, such a ruling is possible. However, current contribution limits will stand for the 2016 cycle. According to the FEC:
- If a donor contributes more than $2,700 to the primary campaign:
- The campaign can make a "presumptive re-attribution" to another joint account holder whose name appears on the check, if he or she has not also reached the contribution limit.
- The campaign may ask the donor for permission to re-designate the surplus funds to the general election campaign.
- If the donor does not agree to re-designate the funds, the campaign must refund the surplus contribution.
- If a donor designates a contribution to the general election during the primary:
- These funds should not be spent until after the primary election.
- If a donor designates a contribution to the general election, but the candidate loses the primary:
- If the candidate plans to seek office again, the campaign may contact donors and ask for permission to re-designate the funds to another campaign committee that belongs to the same candidate.
- If donors do not agree to re-designate the funds, the committee must refund the contributions.
- If a donor contributes more than $5,400 during an election cycle:
- The campaign can make a "presumptive re-attribution" to another joint account holder whose name appears on the check, if he or she has not also reached the contribution limit.
- Otherwise, the campaign must refund the surplus contribution.

Crimson Feature of the Month: ID Tokens
ID tokens, one of Crimson's latest features, associate a unique code with every donor in your Crimson database. In WidgetMaker, the tokens can be added to widgets using URL parameters. The parameters serve to pre-populate sections of the donation form, such as name and address, based on the information in the donor's Crimson record. This feature allows donors to make contributions more quickly and easily than ever!
If the Crimson donor record includes donation history and the Giving Matrix feature is enabled in the widget, WidgetMakr will also use this information to customize the suggested contribution levels for each donor. This feature helps campaigns optimize their fundraising efforts by asking for a contribution suitable for each donor.
Here's how to use ID tokens:
How to Find an ID Token
1. Using the People Search feature in Crimson, enter your desired search criteria and click export.
2. In the resulting CSV file, find the codes in last column, labeled "IdToken".
To Associate an ID Token with a Widget
1. Open the widget you wish to use.
2. At the end of the URL, enter"?ct=" and then paste the ID token number you want to associate with the widget
3. The widget will automatically populate the fields for which data is available in Crimson
4. If the Giving Matrix is enabled in WidgetMakr and donor history data is available in Crimson, the suggested contribution levels will adjust based on the donor's previous contributions.
ID Tokens for Mass Emails
ID tokens can also be incorporated into mass fundraising emails. Your email service provider should have a format for inserting URL parameters or dynamic content inside of an email to customize the information for each recipient.
For more information, please see the user guide on setting up ID tokens
New Crimson ID Tokens Make It Easier to Give Through WidgetMakr
Are you trying to convert your offline donors to online? Do you want to simplify your donation forms and make it easier for donors to give?
A new feature from Crimson and WidgetMakr helps streamline the online giving process for your donors.
Crimson now assigns an ID token to every contact record stored on the platform. This ID token, which is unique for every person, can be added to widgets as a URL parameter that will automatically fill in all of the fields in WidgetMakr with the data available in Crimson for that donor.
When your WidgetMakr widget is combined with the Crimson ID token, payment information is all your donors need to enter.
How do Crimson ID tokens work?
After exporting a file from People Search in Crimson, you'll notice a new column – named IDToken – at the very end of your CSV file.
This ID token is similar to mail merge technology used in direct mail. When it is added to the donation link through a URL parameter, the token will pre-populate fields such as name, address and phone number.
The Crimson ID Tokens are a great way to take the data you have for your offline donors and apply it to online giving or encourage a recurring gift program.
Crimson ID Tokens + Spark Giving Matrix
If you have giving history for donors saved in Crimson – and the Spark Giving Matrix is enabled on your widget – the widget will automatically customize giving levels for your donor when the Crimson ID token is added to the donation link. This means that you won't be asking a small dollar for a $1,000 gift nor leave out donations by asking major donors for too little.
Want to learn more?
Read the new guide on Crimson ID tokens for help on using this feature in WidgetMakr. You can also visit our WidgetMakr blog for more information on how to use URL parameters.
How to Allocate Surplus Campaign Funds
State primaries are currently taking place across the country. Unfortunately, after every election, many committees must end their efforts. However, before terminating, campaign committees must "wind down." The campaign infrastructure, which took months or years to build, cannot be dismantled overnight. Campaigns must pay off debt, sell assets and compensate the staff responsible for the wind down process, which includes compliance activities in accordance with FEC regulations. Usually, campaigns are left with few remaining resources. Occasionally, however, former candidates face an unusual dilemma. After losing an election, how does a campaign committee allocate surplus funds?
According to the FEC, former candidates must follow certain guidelines. The FEC explicitly states that surplus campaign funds CANNOT be used to cover candidates' personal expenses. However, a federal campaign committee may:
- Contribute to other federal campaign committees or PACs in accordance with normal contribution limits
- Donate to state and local candidates pursuant to state guidelines
- Make unlimited contributions to national, state or local party committees
- Contribute funds to qualifying charitable organizations
- Convert the campaign committee into a multi-candidate committee
During the primary election, some candidates may also receive contributions designated for the general election. If the candidate loses the primary, these funds are not considered "permissible campaign funds" by the FEC and, thus, are subject to different guidelines. Campaign committees should consider the following options:
- If the candidate plans to seek office again, the campaign may contact donors and ask for permission to re-designate the funds to another campaign committee that belongs to the same candidate.
- If donors do not agree to re-designate the funds, the committee must refund the contributions.
- If the campaign is unable to refund the contributions, it must turn over the remaining funds to the U.S. Treasury
Every election cycle, whether they win or lose, candidates must eventually terminate their committees. Candidates should be prepared to dispose of surplus funds in a manner that is consistent with FEC regulations and that continues to further the causes shared by candidates and their supporters.
For more information on winding down a federal campaign, see the FEC candidate guide and FAQ on campaign wind down.

It was a wunderful Weekend in Venice. Thx tollen Bruna for everything. Great accomodation.
Friendly, very clean, quiet and secure.
We will come back.
Bruna was a wonderfull host and very helpful for any kind of question.
Clean, tastful decorated, friendly and very warm hospitality!
Perfect! Very pleasent stay. Thanks for the very nice hospitality.
Thanks for everything!
Great place, very clean and it was nice to have a tea and cappuccino and a small breakfast. The bathroom was spotless and we had it all to ourselves. The only downside is not being in Venice, but there are busses going there quite often. Bruna was a great host.
Everything was perfect.... Bruna is a lovely Woman, who wants to do eberything for you. We didn't find the Adresse and so she pick us up and moved us with her own car to our lovely appartment. Our cleany room was very nice and we had a really great short time in venice. We will come back. Thank you Bruna! (And Sorry for my english-mistakes )
Thank you so much Bruna. We had a nice room. At piazza del Mercado our car had a good parking place. Bruna was very helpful for every kind of question, especially the question regarding a photograph for a session in Venice with after wedding fotos (honey moon). Best regards. Tobias & Elizabeth
This was my first visit to Venice and I'm glad I came just to Bruna. Room very clean and beautifully decorated, the bathroom as well. Exactly like the pictures. Separate entrance gives a sense of privacy. In-room coffee, tea, light breakfast, even drinking on the road. Bruna and Tony are very nice and helpful. The bus stop is 5 minutes. walk from the apartment. Journey to the center of Venice lasts no more than 15 minutes. Close to a great restaurant with delicious Italian cuisine and normal prices. With a clear conscience I can recommend this accommodation. I hope someday to return.
Amazing host, and very helpful for us.
She knows a lot of places in Venice.
House is extremely clean and very well designed. It 10 min from Venice by bus, so if you want to go to Venice, choose Bruna's house in Marguera.
See you soon Bruna :)

Twin suicide bombing hits Beirut outside orphanage, killing four people and wounding more than 100
- Suicide bombers blew up their cars trying to hit an Iranian cultural center
- Blew detonated their bombs next to an orphanage
- Killed at least four people and wounded more than a 100 in Beirut
Two suicide bombers who blew up their cars outside an orphanage as they tried to hit an Iranian cultural center killed at least four people and wounded more than a hundred.
The pair attacked a Shiite district in southern Beirut, according to Lebanese officials and an al-Qaida linked group that claimed responsibility for the devastating attack.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades said it had carried out the simultaneous bombings as retaliation for the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian war alongside President Bashar Assad's forces.

The radical Lebanese group Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which claimed the attack on its Twitter account, also said it was responsible for a November 19 attack on the Iranian embassy that killed 23 people, using the same tactic of twin suicide bombs.
In both cases, most of the victims were civilians.
Hezbollah is a powerful Shi'ite Muslim political and militant group in Lebanon that is funded by Iran.
The group has sent hundreds of fighters to neighbouring Syria, giving a boost to its ally President Bashar al-Assad against mainly Sunni rebels seeking to topple him.
'We will continue - through the grace of God and his strength - to target Iran and its party in Lebanon (Hezbollah) in all of their security, political and military centres to achieve our two demands: One, the exit of all fighters from the Party of Iran in Syria. Two, the release of all our prisoners from oppressive Lebanese prisons,' the statement said.
Fire engines and ambulances rushed to the area and were seen evacuating some of the wounded - including children - on stretchers

It was the latest in a string of deadly bombings targeting Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon.
The group is a staunch ally of Assad's government and its fighters have been instrumental in helping dislodge Syrian rebels from key areas near the border with Lebanon.
The morning blasts in the Bir Hassan district set cars and trees ablaze and shattered the windows of nearby buildings.
Fire engines and ambulances rushed to the area and were seen evacuating some of the wounded - including children - on stretchers.

Rahmeh Abboud, a 20-year-old student, said she was in a passenger van when she heard the explosions. The driver immediately stopped the car and told everybody to get out.
'The explosions were very strong, the ground shook. I came here and it was like the world had turned upside down,' she said.
The Lebanese army said the attack was carried out by suicide bombers driving BMW and Mercedes cars.
Health Minister Wael Abu Faour said four people were killed and more than 100 wounded by the blasts.

Embassy. Blast walls were set up in front of the Iranian cultural center

The state-run National News Agency quoted the Iranian embassy as saying that there were no serious injuries among diplomats and workers there.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades said on its Twitter account that the 'invasion of the Iranian cultural center' was in 'retaliation for Iran's party fighting along the criminal regime in Syria.'
It was referring to Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group.
'We will continue to target Iran and its party in Lebanon through their security, political and military offices until Hezbollah fighters withdraw from Syria and scores of Islamic detainees are released from Lebanese jails'.
The latest attack is linked to the civil war in neighboring Syria that has killed and wounded scores of people over the last few months

It said Hezbollah will not 'enjoy security in Lebanon until the people of Syria feel secure.'
Hezbollah legislator Ali Ammar, speaking from the site of the blasts, said the group 'will not withdraw from a strategic battle that aims to foil plans to divide the region.'
Iran is a major backer of Hezbollah and both are allies of Assad.
The explosions came few days after Prime Minister Tammam Salam formed a new cabinet after almost 11 months of paralysis.
He said today that the attack is 'a message by forces of terrorism to continue in their plan to spread death in Lebanon.'
'We got the message and we will respond to it with solidarity and our commitment to peace,' he said.
The three-year uprising in Syria, which began as popular protests but descended into civil war, has increasingly been taken over by Sunni Islamist groups.
Some rebel groups have affinities or direct links to al Qaeda or militant groups in neighbouring countries such as Lebanon and Iraq.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades have strong links to Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps as well as connections with the Gulf.
One of its senior military leaders, Majid bin Muhammad al-Majid, was a Saudi national. He was arrested by Lebanese authorities last December, who said he died from kidney failure while in their custody.

BRIDGEWATER, NJ -- (Marketwired) -- 07/02/14 -- Excitement soars this summer as the Bridgewater Marriott Hotel invites guests to a special celebration at the 77th annual Warren County Farmer's Fair, featuring the Hot Air Balloon Festival, July 26th through August 2nd. Located just moments from the event, the hotel provides guests with the perfect vantage point for taking part in this year's fair and festivities.
Now in its 77th year, the Warren County Farmer's Fair is a timeless occasion for families of the region, featuring fun foods, a traditional carnival midway, tractor pulls, and unique contests like the down-and-dirty Mud Bog Competition. This is the 14th year the fair has hosted the Hot Air Balloon Festival, as countless balloons take to the sky to form a truly mesmerizing sight.
Wednesday, July 30th, the Balloon Festival will hold the 8th Annual Bicycle Balloon Race, where courageous bikers strap lightweight bikes to the outside of a balloon's basket and hitch a ride, before setting off for a race back to the fairgrounds. Airhead Invader, the green monster hot air balloon, will again invade the County Fair this year, and the festival will also feature tethered rides and mass hot air balloon launches each evening.
Among other events held at this year's fair, guests can enjoy Demolition Derbies, Hay Bale Rolling Contests, Carnival Rides, traditional BBQ, Truck Pulls and more. The Home and Garden Building will have a variety of plants, vegetables, herbs and fruits on display, while the rest of the grounds will invite guests to browse an array of unique arts and crafts from the region.
Guests of the Warren County Farmer's Fair enjoy two events in one with a single admission allowing entrance to the fair and the balloon festival, each located only moments from the Bridgewater Marriot Hotel, near Raritan, NJ. Admission is just $7 per adult and $4 for children ages 5-12, while children 4 and under get in for free. Complimentary parking is also available onsite at the fairgrounds.

TAYLOR-NOLAN COUNTY LINE, Texas - A 52-year-old Meridian woman died Friday in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 20.
The crash happened at mile marker 261 at the Taylor-Nolan County line about 4:20 p.m.
Catherine Ann Hinds of Meridian was taken by ambulance to Hendrick Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead about an hour later.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Hinds was driving a 2007 Kia and was involved in a previous crash. As she was attempting to get herself and two others out of the Kia, her car was struck by a pickup driven by Callin David McGee from Hawley. McGee was uninjured.
DPS said troopers were called to at least 35 weather-related crashes Friday.
"Normal for today would be either none or one," the DPS news release said.

And during her speech Thursday night at the party's national convention, Clinton talked about the need to unify the country, saying all Americans are stronger together. She also laid out parts of her agenda if she wins in November, including her plans for creating jobs, reforming campaign finance rules and working with former rival Bernie Sanders to create tuition-free college for the middle class. Delegate Nguyen Feeling Inspired Near The End Of DNC By Ed Ronco & Ariel Van Cleave • Jul 28, 2016 Susan Walsh / AP Photo On Wednesday night of the Democratic National Convention, some political heavyweights took the stage to pledge their support for the presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. There were speeches from former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine and President Barack Obama. Each of them explained how they think Clinton is uniquely qualified to be the next commander in chief. Washington state delegate Trang Nguyen was in the audience again, listening. Nguyen says she thought Kaine's speech resonated well with Clinton supporters and delegates.

After the vote was taken, many of the supporters for former candidate Bernie Sanders walked out of the convention hall. Washington state delegate Trang Nguyen was among them. Nguyen explains that she is still struggling with the idea of backing Clinton. State Delegate Nguyen Says She Won't 'Settle' For Clinton Yet By Ed Ronco & Ariel Van Cleave • Jul 26, 2016 Carolyn Kaster / AP Photo The Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia is officially underway. And Monday night was filled with speakers calling on voters to support Hillary Clinton, who is the party's presumptive presidential nominee. Former candidate Bernie Sanders was among them.

The majority of the 101 delegates from this state support Sanders, following his caucus wins in March. Role Of State Superintendent Can Be 'What You Make Of It' By Ariel Van Cleave • Jul 26, 2016 Steven Depolo / Flickr All nine statewide offices are up for grabs this election year, and about half don't even have an incumbent running. It's pretty obvious what most of these elected officials do, such as the governor or the secretary of state. But the job description for the person who runs the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, or what it takes to be successful at it, aren't quite as clear. Ashley Jochim, a researcher with the Center on Reinventing Public Education at the University of Washington-Bothell, says the job deals a lot with accountability.

Washington Delegate Bell Calls First Day Of RNC 'Incredible' By Ed Ronco & Ariel Van Cleave • Jul 19, 2016 Jack Bell The first day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio was filled with the typical speeches and political hoopla. But there were also moments when the so-called "Never Trump" movement attempted to change the event's rules as a way to derail Donald Trump's presumptive nomination. Some of Washington's delegates were included in that effort to force a roll call vote, as a way to "unbind" delegates from Trump. The move ultimately failed. Washington state delegate Jack Bell says he was not part of that group's attempt.
