Political Money, Tracked to Your Door

Posted by TimSlavin at April 1, 2004

"A new Web site makes it easy to see how much dough your neighbors are giving to presidential candidates.

FundRace 2004, launched 10 days ago at www.fundrace.org, lets you enter any street address and see what people at or near that location have contributed to a presidential candidate, along with their addresses and occupations. The data is based on reports that campaigns regularly file with the Federal Election Commission (www.fec.gov). You can also look up a name and get the same information."

From the Washington Post (free registration required). Personally, I find this scary (and nobody's business, especially in an era where privacy rights are almost non-existent) even though all they've done is present data available in public elsewhere.
