HOW TO READ THIS CHART: This chart lists the top donors to each this member of Congress during the current election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

Typically, members of Congress draw their contributions from two main sources: PACs and lobbyists who give because of the member's position on key congressional committees, and local companies, unions and other organizations from their home district. Challengers tend to rely more heavily on home-state donors, since most PACs put most of their dollars behind incumbents.

METHODOLOGY: The organizations listed here came from two sources: either they were the sponsor of a PAC that donated to the member, or they were listed as individual donor's employer. Donors who give more than $200 must provide information on their occupation and employer.

In cases where two or more people from the same family contributed, the income-earner's occupation/employer is assigned to all family members. If, for instance, Henry Jones lists his employer as First National Bank, his wife Matilda lists "Homemaker" and 12-year old Tammy shows up as "Student," the Center would identify all their contributions as being related to the "First National Bank" since that's the source of the family's income.

NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 1997-2002 Senate election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data released electronically on Thursday, November 01, 2001. Help! The numbers don't add up...")

Can't wait for the "Conscience of the Senate" to set up his lemonade stand in front of this White House. My only regret is that the Republican members on the committee are incapable of being as vicious as the rats were for 8 long, painful years.

[calebcar]

Get more for your money. Give to the DNC.

[PhiKapMom]

GREAT FIND! Send it to Snow at Fox who cannot understand why this is headed back to the RATS and clintons!

[Slip18]

Why did Hitlery only get $650? Something sounds fishy in here. Of course, right now I'm finishing up Barbara Olsen's Hell To Pay, and I'm getting suspicious of the unobvious things.

[deport]

Go ahead the link in 2002 takes you to that data. He maybe correct in that it may not be headed back there as it depends upon what gets investigated. I don't see the senate doing that much except stirring the pot as long as the dems have control. They'll hold some hearings and the respondents will have to refuse to answer because of the ongoing criminal investigations so they can selectively pick the questions and who to interview.

The real answers will come when the criminal investigation is completed and that can take a couple years or more to pull this kinda of data together... All of this just my opinion of course.

[Lady In Blue]

Thanks,SMEDLEYBUTLER.I didn't realize that.

[Lady In Blue]

That's another one I missed! Thanks!

[Lady In Blue]

SMEDLEYBUTLER just said the same thing.Something's not right.Coupled with the Loral contribution.I read somewhere that ENRON execs introducted Clinton to Loral!

[Lady In Blue]

All I can say is WOW! Thanks,deport.I'll have to keep an eye out on Citicorp for more info.

[Lady In Blue]

Can't wait for the "Conscience of the Senate" to set up his lemonade stand in front of this White House.

hehehe! I think we'll be waiting a long time for that to happen!lol!

[PhiKapMom]

Something really is not right! Have to wonder if Lieberman funneled this money elsewhere! It makes no sense but what does make sense is that he should recuse himself with the large donations from Citigroup who holds worthless notes from Enron!

[PhiKapMom]

Snow seemed to only be interested in the Bush Administration but why not be interested in why LIE doesn't recuse himself since Citigroup owns a lot of worthless paper from Enron and they are his biggest contributors.

[RaceBannon]

Bump

[Slip18]

What scares me in all of this is the Securities/Investment section. Lots of money came from that sector. Goldman-Sachs and Merrill Lynch gave a lot of money to Joe.
