Very interesting website.

http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527indivs.asp?cycle=2004

Great site for determining who the top 527 contributors are......George Soros is actually #2 on the list. Peter Lewis has contributed more and both have contributed equal amounts to Moveon. What is interesting is to see where the top ten contibutors are sending their money and it's not to Republican 527's.

Joint Victory Campaign and Americans Coming Together (ACT) are getting more money than Moveon.

Who is this Peter Lewis of Progressive Corp anyway?

HEY GILLIAM

I checked out the list of people on opensecrets.org to see who the donors were and who they donated to.

My question to you is this:

How do we find out what kind of buisness each individual buisness is involved in?

My purpose for this is for another grass roots effort. After this election. Perhaps we can keep our momentum going and try our best to convince conservatives to stay away from doing buisness with these donors and their buisnesses.

Ketchup, insurance, etc etc what else?

I looked at it last night and almost all the big donor are democrats. I think they are 9 of the top 10.
