Akin formed a PAC called "Takin Back America" Here's who gave him all the $ (+who he gave it to)

Good Morning! Takin Back America has website with a list of who has given them cash and who Akin has shared that money with. http://www.ourcampaigns.com/FECCommitteeDetail.html?FECCommitteeID=242

So who is all keen to support a dirtbag like Akin? His website lists these donors: (partial list--too much typing)
Honeywell International (the biggest supporter of all)
Automotive Free International Trade
Boeing Company PAC
American College of Radiology Association PAC
American Society of Anethesiologists PAC
Northrop Grumman Corp PAC

He has given the money to:
Karen Diebel for congress 2012
Friends of David Harmer
Bobby Schilling for Congress
Walberg for Congress
National Republicans

I'm not the best internet sleuth so maybe someone can take over from here and find out who else has been giving this guy money. Who knows how to look up his govt. filings to find out who has been giving donations to his senate campaign.

I hope the guy stays in but, in case he doesn't, I think we should find all this stuff out and start tying his cohorts to him before he disappears. Ryan will be hurt by his ties to Akin. All those silly women staring at his dreamy eyes, just got a slap in the face when they realized he and akin wrote that horrible rape law together.
