If, as a former Congresman once said, money is the mother's milk of politics, it can be interesting to see who's your mommy.

Here are just a few sites I indexed. I especially like the one that allows me to search by zip code and then shows me a copy of that person's federal election form.

Open Secrets
http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/index.asp
The drop down menu opens a universe of detailed data organized by industries, PACS, 527s, individuals, etc - and cross references to who is getting what from whom (references to an unprintable limerick are admitted, the unPC text of which will be sent via PM only to those who agree that unPC humor is still funny and will not whign about any perceived offense)

Campaign Money
http://www.campaignmoney.com
The lookup by zip code links include a link (click on the donor name) to a copy of the individual's FEC filing form.

Instead of going through all of them, here's the Google search that got me a list of sites with this info.

Google search on "political contributions"

If all you want is a summary for the 2008 Presidential Election, look at the web site my son Peter programmed and manages for the Washington post. (click on "finance" beneath a candidate's summary)
