Who are the main contributers to the DNC?
I'm just curious about it. I want to research it, but I don't know where to begin. I want to refute these talking points some give about who the contributers are.

Does anybody have this information?

5. I don't have a problem with trial lawyers.
There is a problem with some suing for no good reason or for more than they should get. However, there is also a problem with people not being held accountable for their actions and trial lawyers can help. Plus, trial lawyers help out the people being sued. Mr. Bush failed to mention that.

6. I agree. Cons hate them because they sue corporations.
and they use examples of the very few people who abuse litigation to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Never mind all the legal bullying big corporations do to kill competition.

7. That's why I'm Democrat.
I'm all for protecting companies because I figure it protects its employees. However, I'm also for protecting the average person. The Democratic Party considers the average person more than the company.

2. Me!
I sent 'em fifty bucks, recently. That represents, in terms of my income and disposable income, as much as a million to someone who's a bit more comfortable.

4. RealNetworks - at least on the local level
RealNetworks founder Rob Glaser has given more than one million to local Democratic candidates

I think the CEO of Costco is a major contributor as well
