		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Opensecrets will get you some stuff–though for some reason they’re behind on King (dunno if it didn’t get reported properly). The one I linked to is one of his most significant months–at least I thought I was linking to the June 2006 one, which had a chunk of big PAC donors. To get them all, since Opensecrets is not up to date, you’ve got to go through the filings one by one (or download using FTP).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I still can’t believe my neighbors elected her over Coleen Rowley.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I trust you mean Patty Wetterling.  Colleen Rowley ran against John Kline in MN-2.  Wetterling is the woman who became a strong advocate for child safety after h er son was kidnapped off the street nearly 20 years ago.  He’s never been found.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;39 - ?  When I follow that link to the FEC form, I don’t get the info in the post either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I did find this link:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/memberprofile.asp?cid=N00001193&amp;cycle=2006&amp;expand=D03&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.opensecrets.org/pac.....expand=D03&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which seems to have some of the PAC info for who donated to King (although not necessarily who donated this the KING-Pac) and there’s some overlap.  But on his actual PAC, the donations seem light for the info about it on the site and they don’t seem to overlap (donors are two 5,000 donors, a couple 1000 donors and a couple smaller, for a total of 13,000 -no GE, walmart etc.) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;??  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Am I just making this too hard?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What excactly is Aventum LLC?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it a coincedence they on the same floor and a few doors down from Washington, DC election and PAC law powerhouse Williams &amp; Jensen?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it a coincedence that Williams &amp; Jensen’s latest claim to fame was that ‘PAC-treasurer-to-all-things-GOP’ Barbara Bonfiglio resigned from that place under a Tom DeLay cloud?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it unusual that Aventum LLC does not have a DC, Maryland, or Virginia incorporation record?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is Aventum LLC part of Williams &amp; Jensen?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry. Here’s the &lt;a href=&quot;http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/fecimg/?F26960376439&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;other link&lt;/a&gt; summarizing those donations. He had one more donation period in which Koch donated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So yes, these are corporate PACs donating into his leadership PAC. From a quick review, the only individuals who donated are either lobbyists themselves or bigtime Republican donors. (That is, there’s no REAL people giving money into this, just Republican insiders and corporate entities).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;EW - I’m confused.  Your link for “From 2005 to 2006, King raised money from the following PACS” doesn’t seem to have that info.  The link takes to a page showing a few donors who coughed up 11,000, but none of the donors or PACS for the donors you listed below the link ( GE, Verizon, Walmart etc.) and are you listing those donors as entity donors or saying that those donors (a couple of which are law firms) had PACS that contributed to King’s PAC?  I haven’t been following this story but the link lost me when I tried to go along.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Oh please, for the love of science let Bat-shit-crazy Bachmann be connected to something that will get her out of office. I still can’t believe my neighbors elected her over Coleen Rowley.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
