The numbers on this page are based on contributions of $200 or more from PACs and individuals to federal candidates and from PAC, individual and soft money donors to political parties, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. While election cycles are shown in charts as 1996, 1998, 2000 etc. they actually represent two-year periods. For example, the 2002 election cycle runs from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002. NOTE: Soft money contributions were not publicly disclosed until the 1991-92 election cycle and were banned after the 2002 cycle.

Data for the current election cycle was released by the Federal Election Commission on March 21, 2010.

Bunch of geniuses on Wall Street got played by the Democrat Party mafia and now they beg for mercy after not making the vig payments and offering up sacrificial lambs for the coliseums.

The sociopaths on Wall Street overwhelmingly donated to Democrats in the 2008 election cycle.

The end is near for NYC, once the subtle war of politics reverts to the longpikes again and NYC financial district is crucificied in the coming 7 months to build up the Dems in to the general election.
