I'd have to get permission to give money...

...to McCain/Palin but not to Obama/Biden.

Why you ask?

Because I work for a financial institution and there's a regulation saying employees have to get clearance to contribute to any election fund that included a sitting governor.

Not that I have to worry about that.

I also have to get clearance before I contribute to any New Jersey election fund due to a New Jersey law.

I wonder how many time that law has been unknowingly violated. My company just today came out with an email "reminding" us about all that.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Someone is the boss of you.

Surprises me that you would let that be.

Can you find a link about the regulation? Clearance from whom?

Put me in the unknowingly category.

I don't have any external links. The clearance would come from a small department we have. I imagine they're swamped right now.
