Graph of Amgen employee private donations over 2007

The thing to note here is that she did not receive very many Amgen employee donations throughout 2007 except for major donations in the week before she submitted ETHA. She submitted the bill on August 2nd after she received a wopping $23,000 almost all listed as being from Amgen executives on July 27th. I wonder how all these executives just happened to cough up that much change on the same date? Raw data from opensource.org:
