1. When I go to my district, the information is from 2007.

Anything more recent?

2. That is a pretty big data base.

Interesting how some are still secret.

I first noticed that the "Vote No on Prop 8" in California was the 27th most well financed campaign nationally in 2007 and 2008. Beyond that, it gave no information on where the money came from. Most have the little eye symbol on the left which gives a little more information out.

I had a link that showed contributions on the individual level but I can't find it. It was not too accurate though. My contributions were listed at about 1/100th of what they actually were.

3. Wow. The biggest $ contributors in this district are unions.

After them, banks, insurance, RE. I'm surprised.
