I stumbled on a web site that keeps track of donations to US Congressmen. It is an eye opener. The basic theme is that donated money influences our representatives. That being said, check out our two Senators for a slight contrast.

So out of curiosity I chose to click on Pelosi's page. Just to see how she compares to our "fearless leaders". Now this was a bit of a shock.

Total Campaign Contributions, 2005-2007: $3,235,658


Are you serious?!? 87% from outside her district? 70% from outside her STATE? How the hell are these people supposed to represent her constituents when most of the money (which influences their decisions) comes from out of state? I have had this thought before but just needed to vent a little bit... AGAIN. Sorry.
