Now Google Search can get you the information on any candidate and how they (and who) has been funding their campaign. The nice thing here is that it is completely unbiased. The information Google is serving up is from the Center for Responsible Politics and they simply report facts. No bias, no pick-your-wing-conspiracies. Just financial facts.
