A 16 yr. old kid has created a plug-in for browsers that, when you hover over the name of a member of congress mentioned on any webpage, popups to give you a list of donations made to that congressperson from lobbyists, corporations, etc. Right now it has numbers for 2012 but he’s working on getting it to 2014.
It does not display pac money and other shenanigans but it is a needed start.
Oh yeah. The kid’s motto? “Some are red, some are blue, ALL are green”! I love this kid!

I agree. I hope the young man does not take the money and run. He needs to fine tune that App and display SuperPAC money:-) Excellent start for a 16 year old.
