Federal and state campaign contributions in one database!

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 19:20:17 +0000

Tired of switching between two different databases to get state *and* federal campaign contribution data? We were. So we made TransparencyData – allowing you, for
the first time, to get a clear picture of campaign contributions at both the state and federal level. Before now, there were two datasets: the OpenSecrets data focusing on federal data, and the FollowTheMoney data, focusing on state data. Now, finally, you can use to query, filter, and download this data.

http://transparencydata.com

These two datasets are only the beginning of what you’ll be able to query via TransparencyData. We’ve already added lobbying information from the Senate Office of Public Records, and over the next few weeks we’ll build a query interface for that dataset too. We’ll also be adding new data on a regular basis. Look for government contracting, earmarks, and congressional biographical data coming shortly.

Jeremy Carbaugh, lead developer for Sunlight Labs, gives you a quick walkthrough of the current offerings.

Big Donors Wrote $1.7 Billion in Campaign Contributions…

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:46:17 +0000

More than $1.7 billion in big checks of $5,000 or more have been written to influence California Elections in the last five years.

Proposition 89 on California’s ballot this November will do away with such corrupting influences and return politicians to the service of the people instead of big business and multi-billion dollar lobbys.

admin — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:05:10 +0000

I felt compelled to make a video about this topic since I expect it to have huge implications for the nation’s future economic and political course.

Sorry that the video ran out a few seconds early; I couldn’t have guessed that the battery was almost dead.
