20. As someone who has had his contribution 'aggregated'

by an employer, I can tell you that this is a heavy handed practice where employers more or less require you to make a contribution to a campaign THEY want to support and then reimburse you in a circuitous fashion, since direct reimbursement is illegal.

Of course you can choose 'not to support your company' and accept the consequences in no future promotions, etc.

These are purely corporate contributions disguised as coming from individuals, which is why the FEC makes them reported that way.

peace
