#1 Seems to be SOP with union funds and governmental funds.

#3 Anyone did the math on the Union kickbacks to the Barry and the Dems this EO will produce? It's the Chicago way...right?

#7 Ed, that is fascinating. Basically, the unions are essentially buying elections. The 2010 cycle is the same--or at least they are trying to buy the 2010 election if I understand the contribution breakout. Are these contributions for all national, state, and local elections.

#8 The numbers on this page are based on contributions of $200 or more from PACs and individuals to federal candidates and from PAC, individual and soft money donors to political parties, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. While election cycles are shown in charts as 1996, 1998, 2000 etc. they actually represent two-year periods. For example, the 2002 election cycle runs from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002. NOTE: Soft money contributions were not publicly disclosed until the 1991-92 election cycle and were banned after the 2002 cycle.

Data for the current election cycle was released by the Federal Election Commission on March 21, 2010.

You can click on each donor for a further breakout: SEIU
2010 Total: $729,115
Dems: $730,115
Reps: $-11,000

-$11,000? Or is it -$1,000? Did SEIU demand a refund?
