SERIOUSLY? you have to disclose your employer whenever you make a political donation. What are they trying to imply here? They can’t be that dumb.
Some Campaign Donors Creatively Express Their Discontent With Disclosure Requirements
“The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 sought to enable the public to better follow the money in politics.
“Ever since, providing information about your employer and occupation — along with your name and address — is legally required when making campaign contributions. And these details are publicly disclosed for all political donations exceeding $200 by the Federal Election Commission.

Campaign Finance Information
The Federal campaign finance law requires many participants in the election process to submit reports on their financial activity. These reports are then put on the public record. Generally, an individual is not required to report. Political committees, however, must file detailed reports on the money they raise and spend. You, as an individual contributor, will be asked to provide information to the recipient committee for its reports.
Contributor Information
"If you contribute more than $200 to a committee, the committee is required to use its best efforts to collect and publicly disclose on a financial report your name, address, occupation and employer, as well as the date and amount of your contribution. Committees sometimes request this information even for smaller contributions, since the $200 reporting threshold applies to your total contributions to one committee during a calendar year. For example, you may make several small contributions to a committee during a year. Once these contributions add up to over $200, the committee must report the contributor information."
FWIW, there have been cases where a business has employees make individual campaign contributions and then reimburses the employee as a way of skirting around contributions limits on or in some cases prohibitions on making donations; corporations both for profit and non-profit and labor unions and in some cases federal contractors and their employees.
