Does data collection like this concern you about privacy?
The map on this link shows campaign donations by geographic
location, that sorta violate the concept of a secret ballot.

http://www.fundrace.org/citymap.php?city=la

How do you see the need for transparency, relative to privacy?
Do you think that making all this data public is improving the
campaign finance fairness?

2. You are right, it gives terrorists a perfect target to aim at high....
...population concentrations as well as where the wealthiest people reside. Can you post the FundMap of Orlando FL please.

3. More than enough information
Home addresses and places of business are located here. While the fiscal data is important and useful, I see this as overly and unnecessarily invasive.

4. nobody else sees this as a privacy issue,
... or that this infringes on the very principals of the secret ballot?

I find it disturbing for a variety of reasons, from revenge terrorism
to seeing how disenfranchised from money-party politics the inner
city areas are.

5. I gotta say seeing my name listed is a little unsettling.
Not that I am not proud of my support for JK, but concern for what a unscrupulous gov't could do with the information.
