It is scary to think that 47 people will influence the vote because of their TREMENDOUS wealth. Yes, 47 people account for more than 50% (one-half) of the $230,000,000 (look at al those zeros) raised by super PACS. 1,000 donors giving $10,000 or more were responsible for 94% of the money raised.

Those glossy postcards and big fold out brochures you're getting in the mail? Check and see who is sending them to you. If it's not the candidate it's someone with a LOT of money who wants to influence your vote with their big bucks and special interests. Read them carefully to see what they want.
If it is the candidate you can go to the Campaign Spending Commission and see where the money is coming from. It's your responsibility to be informed!!
