About MAPLight.org

Mission and Purpose

MAPLight.org, a groundbreaking public database, with offices located in Berkeley, California, illuminates the connection between campaign donations and legislative votes in unprecedented ways. Elected United States officials collect large sums of money to run their campaigns, and they often pay back campaign contributors with special access and favorable laws.

This common practice is contrary to the public interest, yet legal. MAPLight.org makes money/vote connections transparent, to help citizens hold their legislators accountable.

Hello! I'm a fellow MT that just started making jewelry a few months ago. I have asked if its okay to post my link to my shop and was told yes. I had a post that was mistakenly removed by a moderator and I was told I could repost, so my link is below. Thanks for checking it out. I also make bookmarks. Right now, I only have 1 listed. The other sold. I will be making more soon though. ...

appllauded her for her strength in passing a law that would definitely cause a rukus. If you support the law, I would suggest you do the same. If you do not, please don't clog her mailbox with nonsense. She is revamping the law so it doesn't sound like a Natiz state ('scuse me, eyesight is pretty bad tonight). I watched a 'live' broadcast from an AZ newpaper today on the search for the illegails that shot the deputy..It was interesting, but it only showed the sea ...

The website claims it's for "independent" thinkers and the about us seems to give verified information only. I must check more into this site later today. What I saw seems to be "fair and balanced" so far. http://www.justfacts.com/index.asp?page=home ...

three young men as a fix to the ACA government website to aid people in their decision making. CBS news did a piece on them this morning. They have constructed it so you can look up the available options and then deal directly with the insurance company without ever going through the government website. Have a look. http://thehealthsherpa.com ...

In my search for banana recipes I came across this website I thought was pretty neat. All of her stuff looks scrumptious Eager to try the lemon bars, malted whopper cupcakes, and dulce cheesecake bars, oatmeal applesauce cookies (might do those this weekend) and she has these chocolate chip cookie truffles that look scrumptious. I think it's a cute website thought you might enjoy. http://www.brandysbaking.com/2011/10/chocolate-chip-cookie-truffles.html ...

I totally support "obamacare" and for the most part president Obama. That said, and true to my word that progressives are not blinded by partisanship, I have been trying to enroll since October 1. It seems like everytime I visit the site (try to enroll) I get a little farther in the process before getting some time of error. It is just VERY strange what the problems are... Now, UNlike my counterparts on this board, I will say this: I am WILLING to be patient and see how ...

or the people don't even know what they're talking about on the live chat option. I suspect the former, from the recent chat session I had on there. Will try calling in, but I suspect that's going to get me about the same results. That website is about as useful as decaf coffee. Applied, account registered, get a message of "The Marketplace is transferring your information to the Medicaid to see if you qualify to get more health services." Get an email that says you hav ...

This is a website the Eric Cantor put up. It states: YouCut – a first-of-its-kind project - is designed to defeat the permissive culture of runaway spending in Congress. It allows you to vote, both online and on your cell phone, on spending cuts that you want to see the House enact. Vote on this page today for your priorities and together we can begin to change Washington's culture of spending into a culture of savings. Check it out! Also see the first and second week at the ...

Stressed out and surfing the web? I found out about a website called Duolingo, where you can take a language course - I'm learning French, started Spanish also. It is wonderful to take your mind off your problems, and maybe is a "dementia preventative" like crossword puzzles are supposed to be. So at the end of the day (month, year), instead of just surfing the web, reading political websites, etc, you actually have something to show for it: You know some French, can read ...

I also joined Etsy, using my domain name. May I say...I wasn't terrifically impressed with quality of items for sale on Etsy. There were some phenomenal things....and then not so phenomenal...and the not-so-phenomenal stuff was selling too (maybe they just sold to their friends. I don't know. It didn't seem like it). So I guess that's a hopeful sign... ...I also have a *fun* job now, part-time, it is great to punch in, work, and voila! you get p ...

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" was President Barack Obama's signature catchphrase he used to sell the Affordable Care Act to the American people. Now Obamacare's flagship website, healthcare.gov, no longer even addresses the issue. Ironically, the section in question was the first public (if indirect) admission by the Obama administration that the president's promise was less than a "guarantee." The original website contained a section entitled "Can I ...

For those that don't know it, or have not signed up yet, we get to vote on what cuts are made in government spending. Every time they chose items to vote on, they send an email to you as a reminder and also tell you who voted for the cut and who did not vote for the cut. A decent way to keep track of our reps. There are 5 choices. Below is one that made me furious. No wonder Tim Geithner didn't pay his taxes. LOL (really not funny) Require Collection of Unpaid Taxes From Federal Empl ...

DCLeaks, a website that releases information on powerful political figures, has had its Twitter account suspended and part of its website taken offline after releasing a cache of documents on billionaire donor George Soros. The website had previously released 2,500 internal Open Society Foundation (OSF) documents in order to “shed light on one of the most influential networks operating worldwide.” OSF is one of Soros’ networks of organizations. The leaked documents had resulted in ...
