Transparency? You've really outed yourself with this one. Why shouldn't people know public info?

4. I used to look up donors using opensecrets.org

They would give you donors by zip code, which helped me see who was giving to whom in my town. No longer. Now you have to input specific names.

Btw, when I looked up my own name, I was kind of stunned by how much I’ve donated to Dems over the last decade.

9. there are also 88+ major universities supporting/endorsing 260 limbag/trump/putin radio stations

and by broadcasting sports on those stations they support trump's only unique advantage, worth maybe $5BIL /yr at $1000/hr

big supporters of trump, businesses, individuals, universities need to be boycotted and or protested

If you aren't proud of who you donate to, why is that?

Maybe you shouldn't be donating to them.

... the search worked for TRUMP, DONALD. Notice the all capital letters. I had searched, "Trump, Donald J." and it gave me a, "no results", page.

But this result did show up on the, "TRUMP, DONALD", search page: 10 STACKS TO THE FIRST MFER WHO HITS DONALD TRUMP WITH A MILKSHAKE

There's a lot of info available on that FEC website, it's actually sort of shocking. However it's running very slowly right now, I guess because everybody is on it.

has receipts for multiple contributions in one week. $3.75? $15? Then a week later $5.00? Who is expending that much energy to send paltry sums constantly?
