Well, she just lost a $35 donation from me due to this: Employer can’t be blank. Occupation can’t be blank. Phone Number must be a valid phone number, including area code (example: 555-555-1234) My employer and occupation are none of her business. Neither is my cell phone number (I don’t have a land line). Guess she doesn’t need the money that bad.

She doesn't need your contribution enough to violate campaign finance laws. Whether the laws are reasonable is a different question, but if you check Castle's reports Summary here you'll see that he has the same information. These reports help to track down companies in which the CEO might give each worker money to donate as a way of working around contribution limits, and they help the FEC to contact some donors to verify that the listed donation was from their own money. BTW, I gave and answered all those questions.

Yeah, right. Did they call Algore's Buddhist monks and verify those contributions?

These FEC rules are not for the rulers, just for us little people. I mind here that the original Tea Party in Boston was not just a protest over taxes, but a protest over taxes that American tea growers were forced to pay while the British East India Company did not. The Bostonians rightly figured out that a government that can selectively administer the law over a cup of tea can do it with anything they want, no limit.

Meanwhile, we have to play by the rules and each give our own money, while Georgie funnels his millions through straw donors left and right. But let him go ahead; it's going to be like bailing the ocean with a teacup.
