Using information from the Center for Responsive Politics (www.opensecrets.org), I’ve separated the members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus into four groups.

[YES] = Most top campaign contributors are public-employee or labor unions
[MOSTLY] = Many top campaign contributors are public-employee or labor unions
[MIXED] = Some top campaign contributors are public-employee or labor unions, but some are not
[NO] = Few top campaign contributors are public-employee or labor unions

Just came on line and found LucyT’s ping to me on this latest revelation, and as I was loading up my dial-up taking forever I decided to look into my files to try to come up with some of the old posts we had going, and came across this one I didn’t even remember was in my file. It was a post from before I joined FR, therefore it was posted evidentally by another FReeper from their files, and I must then have copied it to mine.

I’m posting this link only as a matter of interest as in 2002 there were only 59 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. It’s also interesting that to note how this was given attention prior to our efforts in 2005. I think more folks today are going to be interested in this information than we discovered they were seven years ago.

I’ll continue the reading or this current information as directed by LucyT’s ping now that it’s loaded up, and may have some commentary later.

That’s one heck of a lot of work Elle Bee, and thanks for every bit of it.

I noted immediately the various Unions in the top ten-twenty of the supporting contributers to the Democrat CPC individuals listed. That in itself is important information for all of us to know.

I’ll read more there as I have the time.
