OpenSecrets

A project of the Center for Responsive Politics, OpenSecrets is your nonpartisan guide to the influence of money on U.S. elections and public policy. Whether you're a journalist, activist, or interested citizen, use this free site to shine a spotlight on your government. Count cash and make change. Which U.S. agency spent the most -- over twice as much as the second-ranked entry -- on federal lobbyists? Who in your Zip Code made political contributions? To whom, when, and how much? Where do the candidates' funds come from? It's all a matter of public record, and OpenSecrets puts it at your fingertips in an intuitive, easy-to-navigate database. (CK)
