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.

Folks, I am very pissed off. The local news just did an Enron piece mentioning links between Bush and Enron and adding that Brownback took money from the company for his senate campaign and will be part of the team investigating the collapse of Enron (implying he may have a conflict of interest).....boy am I steamed!!!! I could not believe the crap that I just saw...usually KWCH is fair, but not tonight.
Folks, I am getting ready to e-mail the investigative department of the station. I urge you all to do the same. Here is the e-mail address to give YOUR ideas of what should really be investigated in regards to Enron (hint, the Dems!). If I just e-mail, they probably won't pay any attention, but if they get 10 e-mails, they might take some notice.
Here are some e-mail addresses. I think the most important ones are these since they are connected to the investigative team that looks into issues viewers raise: ckoeberl@kwch.com

Joes biggest contributor was owed 3 billion from Enron.
