Political Action Committees are the second-largest source of political money
for sitting members of Congress. But there are few rules on how the money can
be spent, effectively allowing lobbyists and other donors a back door to fund a
politician’s personal expenditures, including resort and travel bills. Our
analysis shows that in the 2008 campaign cycle, less than half of the $112
million leadership PAC money was spent on its intended purpose of funding
campaigns. <A href="http://www.propublica.org/feature/leadership-pacs-let-the-good-times-roll-925"><STRONG>Read the story here</STRONG>.</A></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://projects.propublica.org/lpacs/"><P>You can find your congress member by using the search bar or the lists at the top
