There is a non-profit, self-supporting organization that has taken the guesswork out of who gets, who gives, and who owes who in our government today. That organization is the Center for Responsive Politics. They are not left or right, republican or democrat, liberal or conservative. They just tell it like it is. You can see them at "opensecrets.org".
When I write about politicos that take corporate money, I am not making this up. Our system is corrupted and just about broken. The only time that the politicians need the people, is when we go to the polls and pick our choices for office. It's big money that brings these candidates to the ballot box. Without corporate support, most politicians wouldn't get past state-level political offices. If you don't believe that, go to opensecrets.org and make your own informed judgment. I think you will be amazed at the wealth of information that they have on their website.
That information doesn't come for free. Like I said, they are self-supporting through contributions through people like you. I believe that they are the best organization around for information on money in politics. Anyone that writes about, or is interested in returning our government to the people, just has to be grateful to these folks and a contribution to them is a contribution for better government. These are the people in the trenches, getting information under the Freedom of Information Act that I imagine a lot of politicians really don't want to become public knowledge. They deserve support from us. So if you give to just one organization this year besides OpEdNews.com, this is the one that I would put my money on. I hope you could consider doing that too.
