House Atreides, While I realize you are being a bit sarcastic, I'll bite. I seriously don't see you have any need to be concerned about your individual donations. As best as I know (and again, I am not a lawyer and I have not stated at a Holiday Inn Express recently), there is no FEC or FTC requirements regarding GIVING donations. But, if you are affiliated with a campaign, organization, etc., then you have an obligation to disclose that and clarify whether your statement or activity is approved or endorsed. This is really common sense. If you work for an candidate, just as in a commercial setting, if you work for company X, then go out and recommend its products or criticize others, you should disclose your affiliation, whether paid or unpaid.

And my only concern here, as with elsewhere that I read or comment, is when someone is trolling a group, posting in support of a candidate, organization, company, product, or service without disclosing their affiliation. I respect honesty and would like to trust someone is commenting for themselves, 'from the heart' if you will, than being the propagandist for a candidate, organization, etc. Isn't this important to you as well?

Maybe there is an attorney here on FR that might like to shed some light on all this?

Are you saying, or trying to imply, that 2DV has to, from now on, disclose that he is, or has been, a bundler (or otherwise been affiliated) for a candidate and that each comment he makes should be accompanied by a statement that it is “from his heart” and state whether or not that particular comment is “approved or endorsed” by his favored candidate?

You are coming VERY close to the tactics used by Lois Lerner and other ‘RAT operatives as they try to suppress “speech” with which they disagree. The anti-Cruz jihadists aren’t trying to go down THAT road now....are they? To me, it seems that you have started blazing a path down that Stasi trail. Threats and intimidation do not become someone who claims to be a constitutional conservative and, instead, cast doubt on those claims.
