Also, check out the hotel spending, and Sharpton's average bill compared to everyone else's.

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.

Wow, in my area, the most donations looks to have gone to Edwards and Bush, and only one to Kerry, Ha. Pretty cool site.

Other good links like this are Open Secrets and the FEC's own website.

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.

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.

What's up? I've been really busy the last few months, that's why I haven't been around.

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...

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.

It might even hurt your standing in the union. They don't much care for dissent. They know what's good for you, better than you do in fact.

Just tell your union leadership that you don't want your dues going to political candidates.

 

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