Add instructions for revoking automatic contributions where needed to H4CC

[dorothyyeager]

Summary

What we are after:
Many people are contacting the FEC website team to say that they cannot afford the repetitive withdrawals of contributions from their banks accounts to committees. Many of these people seem be to elderly individuals with fixed incomes. Since Commission advisory opinions require committees to honor requests to revoke automatic contributions made by debit or credit card, we need to inform committee treasurers of this requirement. We might also consider adding this information to the citizens page.

Legal background

AO 1989-26: https://www.fec.gov/data/legal/advisory-opinions/1989-26/
Also see AOs on online fundraising and credit cards (use InfoWeb outline on Use of Technology)

Action items

• Identify pages where this information should be included.
• Draft language for those pages
• Develop language for citizens' page to inform citizens that they can revoke these at any time and the committee must honor the request.
• Review of draft language by content team and OGC Policy
• Update the pages.

Completion criteria

• Related H4CC pages are updated to inform committees that contributors can revoke these at any time and the committee must honor the request
• Page at https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/understanding-ways-support-federal-candidates/#making-contributions is updated to inform citizens that they can revoke these at any time and the committee must honor the request

Future work

• Casually tracking of new issues that are reported via feedback box or webmanager account to try to gauge whether this work is working.
• Usability testing to see if the public can find this information.
