Who Contributed to your Congressman's Campaign?

The above link is to Project Vote Smart. You can get a lot of information about your Congressman from this website including: a bio, top contributors, voting record, how they view the issues, speeches and public statements, etc.

We can tell a lot about our Congressmen, by who their top campaign contributors are. It is imperative that we know about the backgrounds of these particular companies, as some have been indicted, indulged in corrupt acts, and have scandalous pasts.

How to get this information:

1) Go to the above website.
2) Select a State from the list.
3) Click on Congress
4) Choose a Congressman
5) Click on "Campaign Finances" (on the right of screen)
6) Click on the link just below the double lines. Takes you to Open Secrets.
7) Click "Top Contributors" (on the left of screen)

This brings up the top 20 contributors to that Congressman's campaign.

In my research, I have found that many of the following corporations, and financial groups have run into trouble with the law in the past, and are questionnable. Many are owned by the Elite, and have a very powerful influence on our Congressmen and in society in general, so we should know about them. Check them out for yourself:

1) Citigroup, Inc.
2) J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
3) Bank of America
4) Capitol One
5) News Corp (Rupert Murdoch Fox)
6) Goldman Sachs
7) Lehman Brothers
8) Akin, Gump, Hauer, Feld, etc.

For example: Akin, Gump, Hauer & Feld has been tied to the BCCI scandal (the largest money laundering financial scandal in history) through Khalid bin Mahfouz and Saleh Idris (owner of Sudan pharmaceutical factory attacked in 1998 by Clinton administration as suspected of supporting terrorism ) . These connections go directly to Osama bin Laden. This information is in a chart in the book "Forbidden Truth" by Jean-Charles Brisard.

The book is a result of a report entitled "The Economic Network of the bin Laden Family" that was written by Brisard and commissioned by the French intelligence community. The report was used by the French parliament to close down fraudulent charities that were funding terrorism.

Some of these companies are owned by the Elite, and involve scandal, investigations, and future goals that are not good for our country. Since we know that some Congressmen sell their souls to some of these financial backers, I think all Americans need to know where their money comes from and what is expected of them in return.

The other purpose for doing this, is to try to root out the HONEST from the DISHONEST in Congress. We know that power and money corrupts many of them, and the American people must hold them accountable for their actions.

Our Congressmen need to get the message that "business as usual" is no longer acceptable. We want men and women who can't be bought and sold by the ELITE and big Corporations, have integrity and will work in the interest of the American people.
