Reply #6: Most likely it's an innocent promotional tool being used by the company

I've put together several of these types of things for my own company, but we have a pretty diverse mix of political leanings, so it's was a pretty nice list. We put them out in areas business journal and several newspapers picked it up. We have since implemented an incentive program for employees that get involved in volunteer and civic organizations - the more you are involved in these and the more time you put in, you get a percentage calculation added onto your year-end bonus. It's really improved morale and helped out the community as well.

Of course, some companies might use it to profile employees and use it for nefarious reasons. I'd do some homework on it and if you feel uncomfortable, don't do it.
