Midknight Review -- new and revised: We bring you info from Open Congress on a regular basis. Maybe you should bookmark this page.

Editor's notes: a great service to our readers can be found at "Open Congress. Want to know what lobby gives to which Congressional person? Click on the hyperlink. We give you words from their site and a few of their categories. Important information if you believe that money has something to do with legislative effort. "They" all deny the link. But they all receive money -- some of it rather substantial. Anyone actually believe that campaign contributions have nothing to do with the legislative process?? -- jds

OpenCongress makes it possible to draw connections between campaign contributions, the specific content of bills, and important votes by Members of Congress. Figures below are individual contributions from 2008, which is the most recent data set available because Congress refuses to report its contributions in timely, digital formats. (More detailed info on PAC contributions is coming soon.)

The top-line categories below are Sectors, under which are listed varying numbers of Industries. Under any Industry, click on the name of an Interest Group to view a list of its top recipients in Congress. Click the name of any Senator or Representative to visit his or her profile and view all details on their donors. Not every Interest Group currently has Members associated with it, but we will continue to add new data in order to make government more transparent.

Editor's note: cool !!! This is just a sampling of what is available at Open Congress. Knowledge is power.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
