    As with Trump, this is a matter of public record.

    The GOP wants to change that. The Citizen’s United decision enabled unlimited secret campaign contributions to third party groups.

    And they have made sure Congress takes no steps to change that.

    They never like it when you level the playing field they tried so hard to tilt.... like all that unwinding of their Gerrymandering... What should have been the wake up call was Hillary having outspent almost 3-1 the Trump campaign and still having lost... but facts don't matter to zealots in the NDP...

    I’d never use USAA Insurance.

    And I gave up on giving to the United Way years ago. Why are they using donors’ money to support a politician?

    Yeah but that's before he did it to Trump which was for the sole purpose of reigning hate down on his contributors in a highly charged atmosphere with nutjobs becoming violent like ANTIFA and those that showed up at Mitch McConnell's house.

    So typical of the left to complain about Trump's rhetoric, saying he's the problem behind all the shootings and violence, when in fact the dems, their media, and their ANTIFA minions are far worse.

    Voters have a right to commercially retaliate against businesses for donating to groups and causes they don't like.

    I guess they buy politicians like everyone else?
    Federal government contractors cannot contribute but Federal Departments can?

    SLIME-BALL DOXXER JOAQUIN CASTRO, VICIOUS, BUT ALSO DUMB: Man wrongly outed as Trump donor by Castro, forced to go over ‘situational awareness’ with wife, kids.

    A San Antonio man was wrongly outed on Twitter as a donor to President Trump by Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro and said Friday the incident forced him to review emergency plans with his wife and three children.​

    Harper Huddleston said on “Fox & Friends” that his name appeared on Castro’s list instead of the name of his retired father, who contributed to the Trump campaign. He said the mix-up was because they share the same first name, but have different middle names, though his father does not go by the name Harper.​

    Huddleston said he supports Trump and has contributed in the past to the mayoral campaign of Castro’s brother, Julian, who is now running for president. He said he was glad to have received the negative attention instead of his father, but explained that he was forced to go over emergency plans with his wife and three children.​

    Why are Democrat presidential candidates so stupid and vicious?

    Where are the names and home addresses of the individual donors?

    Or is he entirely corporate and union owned?
