Fun Fact: Lying on a Federally required election financial disclosure document is breaking the law and asking for trouble.

Please don't post this type of advice here or elsewhere. Don't think that if you are paying with a credit card in your name, that your employer information can't be easily determined if there is an FEC investigation of a candidate receiving a large number of contributions from "unemployed" people. You are telling people not only to break the law, but to do so in a very public way that is impossible for them to hide.

Always tell the truth in all legally required financial disclosures, especially when this is touching campaign financing.
