Donations for Candidates
Touching on the election in the US and Michael J Fox tv ad supporting Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, you can actually check each candidate’s source of funds come from through the news meat website. So it is obvious then who you are supporting for when you make these donations but of course, these will make it more transparent about where the candidates got their money to run their campaign.
You can do your checking either by individual names or by the candidates name. You can also start from a zip code and check the individual names that comes out.
There is also a “Hall of Fame” scroll bar, where famous names are being displayed with their donation amount.
I wonder what will happen when that is implemented here. For me, I don’t want to part with my hard earned money and give it to politicians. I know most of them aren’t dirty but with all those lies, you just can’t trust any single one of them.
