How is it possible for goverment agencies to donate to a canidate? That is just wrong.
Ok i read its people who work there. Still any person who works on the tax payer dimes should not be able to use tax payer money to donate to a canidate.
You can't be serious about this.
People who are WORKING on the "taxpayer dime" are earning money that's THEIRS which they can do anything they want with it, just like anybody who works in the private sector. If they want to donate to political candidates or spend it all on inflatable swimming pools or whatnot, it doesn't matter.

Well aside from backdoor corps what most are referring to is actually from employees.
This kinds stuff. OpenSecrets | Politicians & Elections
If you think that is a problem you oughta love the that the govt is the largest shareholder in most if not all publicly traded corps.
And where did THEIR money come from? Oh yeah, taxpayers via paychecks from.....the US government.

So people who have public sector jobs, and that includes those in the military, should not be allowed to spend their earnings as they see fit?
Who gets to make the list of what they can spend their money on?
As for the OP, good effort but not enough information to derive any conclusions.
I really don't know what difference any of this makes anyway? The election is over, Obama won, tax payers money went along way toward electing him, but so what? It is too late to worry about it now..
Government makes lists all the time about what Americans can legally do.
Time for a list on what government workers can and cannot do.
So as payback for all the regulation on what normal Americans do, you want to place more regulation on what normal Americans can do?
I guess you aren't thankful for the work our soldiers, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics do, among others.
