Title: 2013-08-12 Payment Week: US Federal Election Commission to Weigh Legality of BTC Post by: BitGo on September 12, 2013, 07:53:57 PM http://paymentweek.com/us-federal-election-commission-to-weigh-legality-of-bitcoin-donations/
"Money and politics tend to go hand-in-hand, but what if a donor chooses to give bitcoins instead of dollars? That’s the issue currently being explored by the Federal Election Commission, after a conservative political action fund asked for permission to give and receive bitcoins." "The FEC has two months to decide on this issue, though it may extend its time of deliberation."

Just need to collect the same information as any other donation.
