Where can I track political contributions as well as voting records? I'd like to see which politicians received the most contributions from various industries and compare it with their voting record. Is anyone doing this already?
- blakeweb 18y agoI seem to remember hearing about something similar this past weekend at http://conference.freeculture.org http://conference.freeculture.org in berkeley, but I can't recall it. If you're interested in the area, I'd ask Joshua Tauberer, razor.occams.info, who made http://govtrack.us/ http://govtrack.us/. He's really into it and I think could quickly give you a complete overview of what's been done and what hasn't.
