There is also a logical fallacy that campaign contributions necessarily influence congress(wo)men. Contributions are given to people that others support. Just because someone voted for industry X and was given contribution money by industry X does not imply being 'bought.'<p>That said and taken into consideration, people that are outliers (like this guy: <a href="http://ismycongressmanbought.com/my_cong.php?con=Sodrel,%20Michael" rel="nofollow">http://ismycongressmanbought.com/my_cong.php?con=Sodrel,%20M...</a> and this guy: <a href="http://ismycongressmanbought.com/my_cong.php?con=Chocola,%20Chris)[1]" rel="nofollow">http://ismycongressmanbought.com/my_cong.php?con=Chocola,%20...</a> should be viewed with a suspicious eye.<p>[1] Both happen to be Republicans. I was just viewing my home state (Indiana) where most politicians are Republicans. I am by no means trying to imply one party is better than the other. I am also a Republican.
