Reply #29: As a supporter, I am uncomfortable with "bundling"

[bhikkhu]

That is where an individual solicits the contributions of other individuals and, with the appropriate paperwork, donates a large number of individual contributions to a campaign. It is entirely different from the contribution of a PAC, and it is not explicitly accepting money from an industry...

but I am uncomfortable with it. Obviously the CEO of a corporation is able to put together the contributions of employees and managers, and the result is only technically different from an industry contribution. I would not assume that Obama's supporters are blind or stupid, but I would neither assume that they are happy about this sort of thing. In my estimation, the jury is in deliberating, and leaning toward either refusing money sourced this way or changing the public claim.
