How does the US Department of State get to contribute to Obama? Is that our tax money? I didn't know government agencies could contribute to election campaigns. Just seems wrong somehow.....
Post #7? As much as y'all have made these contributions a center piece for arguments, the last thing I would expect is for y'all to be asking this question. In fact look at the post above mine and question again... how is that possible?
Its the employees of these organizations, not the companies,
No surprise that government workers are donating to the big government candidate. Wouldn't want to vote yourself out of that cushy government job now would we.

Just like our volunteers for defending the country are donating for "big military" Ron Paul.
So DoS employees are contributing big to Obama's campaign. But why is the State Department the only Government Agency on the list? Why not Health and Human Services? You would think the Department of Education, the Department of Energy and, ahh,ahh whatever that third one was would be contributing more to his campaign since if he loses there's a chance his Republican successor could shut them down or cut their staffing levels?
It's just an oddity to me. Like there has got to be more to the story.
