Corporate Political Spending

Two websites to learn about political spending, track donations, and follow congressional activity.

MapLight.org is the website of the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of the same name. Search for bills, issues, senators, representatives, or companies and follow the spending. This database uses three data sets (see the "about" section for descriptions).

OpenSecrets.org this website is a "nonpartisan guide to money's influence on U.S. elections and public policy." This one is more news-oriented than MapLight and has a great blog.
