Great place to check up on who is influencing our members of congress and the senate and compare it to the votes they make. Glad to see Ron Paul is not a shill, yet has more money on hand...

REPRESENTATIVE (R - TX)
Ron Paul
Industry Total Indivs PACs
Health Professionals $2,000 $1,000 $1,000
Real Estate $1,000 $0 $1,000
Retired $500 $500 $0
$0 $0 $0
