Top Political Donors at the National Level
6 September 2007The top ten donors at the National level gave approximately $280 Million over the past twenty years. They overwhelmingly gave to the Democrats something on the order of 10 to 1.
When you see the list you will not be surprised.
| American Fedn of State, County & Municipal Employees | $38,673,449 | |
| AT&T Inc | $38,076,096 | |
| National Assn of Realtors | $30,873,798 | |
| National Education Assn | $27,267,750 | |
| American Assn for Justice | $27,117,606 | |
| Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers | $26,731,306 | |
| Goldman Sachs | $26,414,065 | |
| Laborers Union | $25,817,139 | |
| Service Employees International Union | $25,072,293 | |
| Carpenters & Joiners Union | $25,010,270 |
Evidently AT&T and the National Assn of Realtors are 50/50 between Democrats and Republicans. The rest are very partisan.
Of the 10, 6 are unions. Left is the American Assn for Justice, which is a trial lawyers group and Goldman Sachs.
The next 100 does not get much better or different depending on your point of view.
The big Republican donors are, National Rifle Association, American Medical Assn, Altria, National Auto Dealers and the National Home Builders Assn.
Take care of your base!
