If you have the resources, I think it would be a good idea to start listing the names of Senators and Congressman and how much money they have received from named corporations and individuals. We need to start calling these people out.
A lot of people don't know about open secrets. Me as well until now. Thank you. But I still think it might be a good idea to put this somewhere on the OWS site to help drum up more awareness and motivate people.
Just a thought.
It's all available in detail at opensecrets.com
Here's the link to the top donors, you can navigate from there: http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php?order=A
Notice that the top donors include a LOT of unions. Personally, I don't CARE who they are or WHAT they're advocating, they're ALL using money to exert undue influence on our Government, and they should ALL be stopped. If they have a CASE to make, let them make it to THE PEOPLE, rather than make back-room political deals !
