Think of it like a petition or testifying before Congress. The whole point is that you are putting your real name behind it.
And if you think your name and address are private, then I have some bad news for you.

I spend a lot of time filing requests to take down my home address. Most low-hanging fruit options have been scrubbed. I am hesitant to increase the count.
You mean the link between your name and home address? Impossible to scrub. If you're registered to vote, own a home, or many other things, that is legally a matter of public record.
Some people put their home in a trust to avoid this, and not everyone registers to vote.
IIRC the only way to keep who owns a home truly anonymous (short of a court getting involved) is to create a shell company (not an LLC) and have your attorney sign off on the deed as a representative of the company. Problem is you have to pay a lot more tax if/when you sell (I believe it's considered income, instead of capital gains). LLC's, and I believe, trusts, are fairly easy to sort out the ownership of -- they obscure your name from people finding out where you live, but if somebody is curious who lives at your address, they just have to pull up docs on the legal entity.
(Don't quote me on this, if somebody knows better please fill me in)
