Ever wonder if your neighbor really is a Repuke?

[proud2BlibKansan]

How about that relative you have always wondered about?

Well, here is an easy way to check them out.

1. Yeah, but what if they turn out to be Communitsts? What then?

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Did you read the link?

Unless a communist ran for president and they donated to him/her, you can't find that out there.

[jjmalonejr]

13. Yes, I understood what the link was.

My comment was meant to be ironic. I just thought your OP sounded a bit McCarthyist.

I know you didn't mean it that way, I was just trying to be funny. Clearly I failed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. That's what smileys are for

LOL :)

[jjmalonejr]

43. Good point.

Smileys make everything funny. :)

[demgurl]

2. Interesting and scary at the same time! Thanks. eom

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Great link, IMO.

[CottonBear]

3. I love that site. I've checked out many people in my area.

It is so cool that the r.e.m. guys (the musicians and their lawyer and their manager) from my city donate so much money to local, state and federal Democratic candidates. :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Oh I hadn't thought about looking up celebrities

Good idea.

[CottonBear]

15. You can also look up corporate people and business people.

It is very interesting. You can see where people live and where they donate. For instance, people can live one place but donate in another area or have their children donate (you know the parents give them the money.)

[hootinholler]

44. LOL...

From the site's opening paragraph:
Use the location search (on your home address) to find those who live near you that have made presidential campaign contributions. You can also search for friends or celebrities by name.

Thanks for the chuckle.

-Hoot

[proud2BlibKansan]

45. Hey why read the intro?

Good catch though. LOL

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. You gave me the idea to search for my zip only

And guess what I found? A guy named Moran who gave $500 to Howard Dean!!!

[Joey Liberal]

5. That's not a problem in Oklahoma

They are almost ALL republicans here:)........

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. I know I am sorry

Same deal here in Kansas. :cry:

[Twist_U_Up]

7. That was cool!

But my area must be hurting because we have like 13 people in my zip that donated and it was about split.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. What was the lowest amount they showed?

I am not showing up and I am assuming I just didn't donate enough.

[CottonBear]

16. I think you have to donate $101 to show up on the site.

$100 or under is not recorded. I may be wrong about the exact number but there is a $ amount above which you will be listed along with your address and profession/job.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Well that explains it - thanks

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. I found some $30 donations.

[yorkiemommie1]

10. thanks for the site!

lots more Dems in my area than i thought!

i buy blue when i can and this is an additional resource.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Glad you liked it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. I tried it but I feel kinda cheap for using it. I know the info is there

for anyone to see but I still feel a bit like a snoop. My neighbors deserve better from me. (And besides this is such a small town we pretty much all know each other's politics anyway.)

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. I wish I had more neighbors like you

[SmokingJacket]

31. No... donating to a political campaign is a public act... and should be!

Every penny those guys get should be tracked. But perhaps people ought to be more clearly warned that their donations are public record.

[salin]

17. Ick

no offense, and while the info is of public record, the idea of folks checking neighbors out (from either side) sorta creeps me out - as in the we are going to divide ourselves, irreversibly, sorta sense.

Just my gut reaction.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Yes I understand

[countingbluecars]

25. Although I understand what you mean

about it being creepy for neighbors to check out neighbors, I'll bet many of the listed GOP contributors support wiretapping with the argument, "I have nothing to hide".

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. Let H&R Block do your taxes!

Henry Bloch gave to Kerry.
http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=loc&addr=&zip=66208&search=Search+by+Location

The top name there is the Hall family - of Hallmark. Mrs. Hall gave $12,500 to the RNC. :puke:

No more Hallmark cards for me. Their whole family is there. I grew up with them. Every single one of them and the kids gave to repukes. Damn.

[countingbluecars]

34. Good to know.

I'm checking out my dentist and doctor next. Where I still have a choice, I will let politics be one of the factors determining that choice.

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. I searched my principal!

She is a repuke but didn't donate. phew.

[Rose Siding]

22. I don't wonder - The Bush/Cheney sign in their window is a give-away

:(

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Signs are tightly restricted where I live

In fact, a guy in the neighboring suburb just won a court case (the ACLU defended him) to keep an anti-war sign in his yard.

There is another neighboring burb that bans all signs - even real estate signs.

So I can't always tell by the signs.

[Justice Is Comin]

27. It's a good thing I don't

know who the republicans are in my daily life. I would be tempted to take a swing at them.

[Nutmegger]

28. You can also try THIS SITE....

http://www.newsmeat.com

[SmokingJacket]

30. Pretty hilarious...

The nasty old man who calls the cops if we accidently block the sidewalk with our car gave $$ to Bush... so not surprising...

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. I have some very wealthy neighbors

I posted this above. Mr. Bloch (of H&R Block) gave to Dems. Mrs. Hall (of Hallmark) gave to repukes.

[DancingBear]

32. Oh yeah? And what about you???

What with that fake screen name and everything??

Oh, I found you out, yes I did....


:) :) :) :hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Hey DB!!

I am not there. But I remember now I gave all my money to moveon in 2004.

How ya doin? Long time no talk to. :hug: :hi:

[SmokingJacket]

35. What I find surprising is how FEW people donate to campaigns!

No one else on our street, as far as I can tell. A couple people from the next streets over, but though we live in a dense neighborhood, only a pageful of people within the surrounding mile donated to anyone at all. And this is a well-to-do neighborhood: we're the black sheep with the house that needs painting...

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. We are the black sheep in our neighborhood too.

LOL Must be a DU thing. Who has time to paint when there is DU to keep me busy?

[SmokingJacket]

39. Next year, I keep telling myself... then I'll have the time... nt

[President Jesus]

41. see post 40

you are looking at a very small list of campaign contributors on fundrace, that's why it appears to be so few.

[SmokingJacket]

47. Oh! I figured since I was on there, everyone was... nt

[President Jesus]

40. the big problem with Fundrace is that it is VERY limited

only shows 2004 presidential race fundraising.

I highly prefer newsmeat.com which allows you to search EVERY (President, Senate, House, PAC, and soft money) campaign contribution since the mid 70s.

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. Good point - thanks

[Twist_U_Up]

46. abramhoffs list is somewhat extensive.

all repigs hehe
