1. Senate or House? Or Both?
Remember that John Kerry is one among the millionaires as well as Ted Kennedy and his family wealth. Some of the poorer representatives would no doubt include Dennis Kucinich and Bernie Sanders.

4. I think that all or an absolute majority of Senators are millionaires.
The House is not quite as populated with the Plutocrats.

5. Feingold is one with the lowest networth in the senate
and that might be why he believes strongly in fiscal responsibility.

6. Here's a search page for financial disclosure
http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/

You'd have to look them up one-by-one which could take a lot of time.

Still googling for a website that has a compilation of all members of Congress.

8. Without campaign financing reform it costs so much to run...
that the little guy gets shut out. This is NOT a representative democracy. On either side. As for campaign financing reform, well guess who has to get that passed? The millionaires. People who spent hundreds of millions of dollars for a job that pays $162,00. Do we really expect for them to cut off their own gravy train?
