Say, what happens when you run the FEC database for the corporate leadership of MCI WorldCom, CitiBank, and Oracle?
I'll post the names of board members and donations according to the FEC website.
Mr. Weill had interesting results, including: Donations to the CitiGroup PAC and only a handful of candidates.
The candidates were:
1. Christopher J Dodd- DEMOCRAT
2. Kent Conrad- DEMOCRAT
3. Nita Lowey- DEMOCRAT
4. John Lafalce- DEMOCRAT
5. Carolyn Maloney- DEMOCRAT
6. Hillary Rodham Clinton- DEMOCRAT
7. Phil Gramm- Republican
8. Alfonse D'Amato- Republican
9. Bill Bradley- DEMOCRAT
The Citigroup PAC is very interesting. They gave John Ashcroft $1000 for Ashcroft 2000. BUT, they gave Jean Carnahan $5000 and Mel Carnahan $2000!
Citigroup PAC reports the following interesting totals:
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee- $12500.00 National Republican Congressional Committee- $5000.00 Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee- $27,500.00 National Republican Senatorial Committee- $22,500.00
THe Citigroup PAC appears to give to incumbents.
Incumbents usually win. Why would a corporation give money to a loser?
If you want to detect a political slant, you will have to look only at very close races.
Besides donating monthly to the Citigroup PAC, here's the list of candidates supported by Willumstad.
1. Geraldine Ferraro for Senate 1998 $1000
2. Friends of Senator D'Amato 1998 Committee $1000
He gave tons to the PAC. **********************************************
