		<description>I would like to know how much of each candidate&#039;s contributions came from out of state. It seems that a large number of candidates have been receiving a large percentage and even the bulk of their contributions from out-of-state donors. This article and some others have made me wonder what the &#039;hey&#039; is going on: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200703/tim-gill&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200703/tim-gill&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I would be interested in knowing why they would be giving money to these people.&lt;br&gt;What bills would have been of interest for them? Was the money given for the &quot;card check&quot; giving unions/mob more power over workers?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I agree with the comment about these puppets in congress being purchased by evil puppet masters. This country is moving towards communism.</description>

		<description>This country has truly been sold out by the weasels in D.C. and even worse, the purchase of politicians by the likes of George Soros. It doesn&#039;t shock me that politicians can be bought but how cheaply. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Look at what the Democrat majority and the go along Republicans in both houses of Congress has done to this country in just the last two years (Obama was in the Senate last term)  Conspiracy to destroy the economy for the sake of power. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*** Prison hell, these traitors should be tried and hung for treason.***</description>

		<description>T E R M  L I M I T S&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shockingly, the mob is only a piece of the &quot;make me an offer&quot; crooks and con congress critters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We need to have term limits and a flat-tax to reduce the purchase of politicians. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We should also be asking why politicians are in a prison cell with Bernie Madoff!</description>
