Jobber of the Week Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 http://www.fundrace.org/ Also, check out the hotel spending, and Sharpton's average bill compared to everyone else's.
Some Guy Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Good God! I have to get into the racist extortionist business. I want to stay at the Sheriton for $3600 a pop. That's really interesting considering that two former (Sharpton might as well be) presidential candidates spend more on average than the President of the united State, who has tons of secret service and security needs. Yeah, that Sharpton, he can really relate to the average black man.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Wow, in my area, the most donations looks to have gone to Edwards and Bush, and only one to Kerry, Ha. Pretty cool site.
Guest Cerebus Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Other good links like this are Open Secrets and the FEC's own website.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Mine is fun. 10 Bush $2,000 1 Bush $1,700 1 Dean $1,630 11 Bush $1,500 1 Bush $1,270 10 Bush $1,000 1 Dean $1,000 8 Bush $750 5 Bush $500 1 Edwards $500 1 Bush $400 1 Dean $400 1 Dean $345 1 Bush $300 4 Dean $250 1 Edwards $250 1 Gephardt $250 1 Graham $250 5 Bush $200 2 Dean $150 3 Dean $100 1 Kucinich $100 1 Sharpton $10 1 Sharpton $5 No support for Kerry at all in my area. Overall trend is higher the money, more to Bush, lower ammounts of money to others who aren't even running anymore really. And I feel bad for whoever donated $5 to Al Sharpton.

Jobber of the Week Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Posted April 3, 2004 Open Secrets I like their donator search. I entered Moore, Michael and laughed at all the Republican donations from the far-less-fat Michael Moores of the world. I don't know why I did, but I did anyway. I was hoping I could get something from Bill O, but I guess he's smartly not made tracks that way.

Vern Gagne Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 It's cool. Just wanted to welcome you back into the fray..however long it might be.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Ewww. I live around so many Democrats, especially those giving money to Howie. Well I know whose houses I'll be egging this Devil's Night...
Guest Razor Roman Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 I just looked at OpenSecrets. Damn, my union donates all my dues to Democrats. Why don't I even get a say?
Guest MikeSC Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 I just looked at OpenSecrets. Damn, my union donates all my dues to Democrats. Why don't I even get a say? If you're in a union, that is pretty much the case. Unions always give heavily to Democrats. You CAN get it so your money doesn't do that (it is a federal law that they have to allow you to opt out of political spending of your money) --- but I have no clue HOW you do it. You could ask the union leadership --- but I doubt they'll be terribly helpful. -=Mike

They know what's good for you, better than you do in fact.

Just make sure you have a LOT of spare tires at your disposal because you're going to need them...
