Political Donations on State Owned Devices
Justin Bathon on Monday, April 16, 2012 at 10:35PM As the political season heats up, now is a good time to remind folks that making political donations on school or university owned devices is a bad idea ... for what I hope are obvious reasons (remember who paid for that computer). Even though I think this is obvious, I'm doubting that too many public employees will consider it before they enter their credit card info.
As Sherman Dorn notes on Twitter, it is probably a good idea to make such donations on your phones (less likely to be state owned). My wife even adds that apparently you can now even make donations by texting to some political campaigns.
(oddly, making a donation to a super-pac might be more palatable ... but then public employees don't have that kind of money).
Anyway, please exercise your right to make your financial voices heard ... just not on a device you didn't pay for yourself.
