Summary note
The Cash Constituents of Congress pulls back the curtains on the insider politics of Capitol Hill by tracing the path of more than $230 million in campaign contributions that flowed to members of Congress in the 1990 elections. Using a unique classification system that identifies contributors by industry and interest group, this eye-opening volume gives voters, educators, journalists and students of Congress an important new perspective on the e financial connections between American industry and America's law makers. More than 1300 charts and graphs illustrate the trends clearly and succinctly and help provide an illuminating view of Congress's cash constituents-the PACs and individual contributors who supply the money it takes to win at the polls.
