Description

"On PublicMarkup.org, you can check out bills in their entirety, such as the recent whopper Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Check out Fortune535 if you want to find lawmakers’ net worth (McCain was worth $36 million, Sen. Kennedy was at $102 million). And the latest website, FARAdb, gives you the ability to see how much lobbyists contribute to legislators. For example, it might be interesting to see how former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart gave $2,100 to Sen. Hillary Clinton on Sept. 27, 2006. This database can hone in on the exact date, lobbyist group, donor and legislator receiving the money. " (http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/260949)
