However, I think tax exempt organizations should disclose their donors to ensure that they should keep their tax exempt status. I'm not suggesting it be public, just that those who ensure that these organizations are following the laws can see who gives them money.

But any campaign donation of $200 or more is public. You can search the financial disclosures of all of your local politicians and see who donated to them. Our most political spending is public.

Well I guess we'll just disagree on this matter. Many folks free the true spirit of charity is to be able to donate without acknowledgement and I really don't think it is yours or anyone else's business to whom I donate unless I chose to disclose it. 

It is the businesses responsibility to disclose how much they received in donations; however, they should not be required to expose those who chose to remain anonymous. 

BTW, do you feel all Social Welfare Organizations should disclose the identity of their donors or just the ones you don't like?
