Who is paying to influence legislation?

It’s long been said that money is the lifeblood of politics. Here, we are making it easy to see how the money flows in and around your members of Congress. Investigative Newsource has started with Rep. Bob Filner, who is running for San Diego mayor. We intend to duplicate this bundle of legislation, lobbying and campaign contributions for all five representatives from San Diego County.
