Can anyone tell me if contributions to the SwiftVets are treated like other campaign contributions? That is, will my name and company appear on several records, or can it be done discreetly? My employer allows NO political contributions, without their explicit approval. Thanks

Have a friend contribute for you, and pay him back. DI IT PLEASE.

This way it will be ssafer for you, just in case.

I don't think your employer has a legal right to deny you your First Amendment right of donating to a political candidate or cause .. but of course, emplyers get away with a lot when they can hold your job over you ... I'd get a postal money order and send it to Swift Boat Vets by mail.

Donations to the SwiftVets are not campaign contributions and can't be counted as deductions. Do it.

And does your employer really have the right to tell you who you can contribute to?

Your employer controls how you spend your own money? How does that work?

Sounds like a wonderful and fun class action suit.. Even the threat of this suit could have far reaching beneficial results.. Unless you're mistaken ot lieing..

The Swift Vets make all their contributions public.

Legally, a 527 is only required to report (IIRC) those that donate $1000 or more total in a calendar year. But if you really don't want your name to be found out, the only 100% safe routes are to either not give at all or give the money to someone else and have them make the donation. (And that might be technically illegal; I don't really know on that one.)

The form asks if it's personal or business and states only over $200 has to be reported to election people.
