Likely contributors?  

Via Matt Yglesias, Patrick Belton explains that he's been added to the Bush admin's database of potential campaign contributors, and it is probably because he applied for a federal job.

Having actually held a federal job (with the Social Security Adminstration), I can tell you that many federal employees are forbidden from taking part in political activism at the federal level. I don't know whether this is true for the National Security Council or not, and of course Patrick isn't yet employed, but there's something pretty suspicious about this.
