Where do you go on OpenSecrets.org for a donor breakdown to see that Google is Paul’s main contributor?

You don't... all but $10,799 of Paul's $8.2 million plus in campaign contributions (reported to the FEC so far) have come from individual donors, like me. Google's employees apparently have contributed more to him than the employees of any other company. One of them even quit his job a while back to campaign for Paul full-time.

I think SoCal is trying to smear Dr. Paul by implying that he gets corporate financing from them, and, by implication, is beholden to them in return. Not true... he can't be bought, and big donors like PACs and lobbyists quit trying years ago. There's too many politicians that can be bought for them to keep trying anyway.

As far as the google employees go, imagine that? A bunch of highly skilled, highly educated technology workers support Paul. He must be ashamed.
