1. These are employees of these companies/instructions, right?

[unblock]

3. gotta be, i can't think it's legal for the us department of state, e.g., to contribute to campaigns.

in fact most department of state employees are banned as well, i think (hatch act)?
probably only those in political positions can contribute.

i'm guessing here, though.

[pangaia]

2. And another question-

What is "U S Government", "US Dept of State'. and "US Dept of Justice?" How do they donate to Obama

[FrenchieCat]

5. I believe these are government workers, who as individuals, donated to the campaign....

when one donates, one is requested to provide occupation and employer name....
this is how the information is gotten to then post here and elsewhere.

Bill Maher? Didn't he donate $1M to the Obama campaign?

8. Top contribitors to Obama 2012

We the people - this campaign had over 4 Million individuals who donated money and time.....

[lumpy]

9. Interesting how many Obama donations were university connected. Mitt's campaign zero.

Intelligence vs. money
