• Federal Election Commission: FEC.gov. The FEC was the primary source for all of our information. Federal election law requires that any donation over $250 be recorded and be publicly available at this web site. Therefore if you search for specific individuals or for specific employers you can always find where large political donations are going.
• Open Secrets: Opensecrets.org. Open Secrets presents a large variety of data. They use the FEC as their primary source and we found them particularly useful to study and record donations from political action committees (PACs) which many corporations operate with the explicit purpose of influencing legislation and public policy.
• The Blue Fund: The Blue Fund. The Blue Fund is the only mutual fund out there which in addition to creating a portfolio of companies based on traditional social responsibility indicators also uses a methodology similar to ours to rate companies on their political giving practices. Necessarily they have to maintain a list of blue companies in their portfolio which can be found here.
• Public Integrity: Public Integrity. Public Integrity is a good place to investigate lobbying dollars spent by various companies. Open Secrets also has some of this data.
