By far the best Rachel Maddow Show I've ever seen!

[democracy1st]

Rachel is giving out very solid reasons for why unions exist,and why it's so important to pay attention to what is going on in Wisc.


Here's the important info:

National Donor Profiles
First-ever mash-up of federal and state donations
Thousands of corporations and special interest groups, playing off the old adage "don't put all your eggs in one basket," are spreading their political cash across the nation, from the U.S. Capitol to the smallest states' statehouses. They may do so for a number of reasons, such as building strong relationships with decision-makers, attempting to influence votes or supporting philosophical positions such as lower taxes or expanded health care.

This database provides you with the total contributions for the Top 10,000 national givers in U.S. politics and their contributions to state-level politics during the 2008 election cycle. It's information that exists nowhere else. Use it to follow the money not only in the nation's capital, but also from Alaska to Florida, Maine to California -- and everywhere in between.
