2. Almost every insurance co there is, you can be sure.



Connecticut is home HQ for many insurance cos. And Weasel Joe doesn't
really represent Connecticut, he represents the insurance cos.

6. Here.
Securities & Investment................... $2,066,850
Real Estate........................................$1,560,480
Pro-Israel.................................. $1,207,390 ..
Lawyers/Law Firms..................... $1,179,256
Retired .......................................$1,005,788
Misc Finance.............................. $633,668
Insurance ........................................$473,894

this is for 2010 funding.
2009 looks about the same.

Here are a couple of good places to look for this information:

http://www.opensecrets.org.... tracks contributions for Congress members

http://www.followthemoney.org....tracks STATE contributions to local and national politicians.

http://maplight.org/................has searcheable data base of bills, lobbyists, recipients of donatoins.
One of the best all around sites for finding out who got what and which
bills are supported by which special interest.
My new favorite place to look.

8. Google "Lieberman," "Hartford CT" and "insurance companies"
and you'll get a pretty full list.
