regulate the ChoicePoints of the world which cannot always be expected to regulate themselves. If VoteTrustUSA and other organizations are needed to do that, then what purpose does it serve to denigrate them? (I'm not necessarily saying you are.)

Why not write letters to Congress and other officials asking them to regulate data mining? If they don't do it, vote them out! But to do that, we need free and fair elections, don't we?

VTUSA has already partially responded to some of your questions. The ballpark was $50,000 total donations of which some fraction was from Mrs. Curling. This was in another thread; maybe you missed it. But that's what happens when people post on other forums that have nothing to do with Election Reform. That's always been a pet peeve of mine; it has nothing to do with Land Shark or ChoicePoint. So if this is the kind of money we're talking about on an annual basis, I think VoteTrustUSA is giving a fair return for the cause of election integrity. Certainly no one's getting rich or being influenced for that kind of money! You'd have to go someplace like CONGRESS to sink that low, wouldn't you? ;)

As to their "board":
