It just occurred to me.<p>There's a difference between political speech and political action.<p>When you express your political views, you're using your right to freedom of speech.<p>When you donate based on your political views, depending on how big that donation is, you're carrying out a political action. You're getting involved in politics!<p>I think the best resolution in this scenario is to consider a political donor, past a certain amount, no longer a private citizen, but a public figure, and bring his/her actions under media scrutiny, just like a politician.<p>Thoughts?
