Folks ,I bet you would like to know the answer to this simple question, who gets cash from the interest groups/Cartels and supports them in congress as well as taking the salary paid to them from the US taxpayers ?
Well today I can give you those figures.
These are the ones for last year as they are released on a cycle and the latest figures are for 2006 and therefore incomplete.

I have highlighted some of the well known anti p2p speakers for you to make an informed judgement on who you may not wish to support in elections of the future.
I wish to thank the Center for Responsive Politics for the hard work they have put in making material such as this available to us all.
