The Who's Who of Top Political Donors


The top 26,783 individuals contributing to SuperPacs and political campaigns

http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2011/12/13/the-whos-who-of-top-political-donors/

It appears the largest amounts are going to the American Crossroads, a Super Pac run by Karl Rove?

I really don't know how we will ever make any progress in this country so long as this remains legal?

I suppose someone could make an educational ad by naming names of the Super Pacs, like American Crossroads, advising people to look for this small print at the end of every ad to know where the money is coming from? Perhaps that would be more effective than running ads against the candidates of the opposing Parties??

It's interesting to see some of those names. But not surprising.
