Five Great Online Tools for Mining Public Records

http://billmoyers.com/2013/03/13/5-great-online-tools-for-mining-public-records/

And I'm wondering if the ALEC online shows any sponsors. Since you mentioned NYC you may know about the hedge fund world. I would not begin to know how to look this up and the databases may be pay only?

Certainly Occupy or Anonymous has the capability of finding out who is funding them. Remember when they did the chart on 'who owns everything' on the planet, all of those global corporations -- they have the capability.

But FOIA's might help do this.
