I agree, it should all be public. I hope they get to the bottom of it. It seems like it all should be traceable through IP address and stuff. I do remember being surprised about how much information they needed about me when I made a donation. It kind of creeped me out but I guess I understand why they needed the info now. It seems it would be most useful to have the info in a spreadsheet type format. It would be hard to find things like the Will, Good stuff through a search like that because you'd have to attempt every last name in the world to find things like that. It seems hit or miss.

This is all stuff I never really thought about it before and it makes my brain hurt! But, I guess campaign managers, etc. are used to thinking about all this... programming the database to add up all the contributions from a particular individual, how to give money back if someone donates more than is allowed by law, etc.

Good to see some talk about this. I can understand that the net is the quickest way to generate the money (or is that MONEY?) for a campaign, but at some point, there has to be accountability.

What definitely shakes me up is the amount of foreign donors. Other than Americans living abroad, there really shouldn't be anyone involved enough in our election to make donations. There should never be a price tag on the United States.
