Great new website for getting detailed information on who influences the political process in this country. Influence Explorer <----clickety click It provides some very detailed information in an easy to read format from these sources: Worth checking out. You can search by name, company or donor. There's some cool widgets they have too.
And just so you all don't think I'm still Mr. Lefty Democrat, here's the Goldman Sachs report. Notice who their #1 individual recipient is, and #2, and #3. Or how about their top 2 PAC recipients. #IOccupyBecause
