Would you take a job where your employer forbid you to donate to a political campaign?

Keith Olbermann was just suspended from his job for not checking with his employer before making donations to three different congressional campaigns. While NBC News policy does not prohibit employees from donating to political candidates, it requires them to obtain prior approval from NBC News executives before doing so.

Should employers be allowed to make employees seek their permission before donating to a political campaign? Does it matter that it’s a job in the press? Does it matter than Olbermann is already known for being left of the Democrats?

Would you take a job where you had to inform your employer and seek their permission before donating to a campaign? What if it paid you a lot of money?
