DEFENSE COMPANIES TARGET MARYLAND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
WASHINGTON – Defense companies and their employees have donated a total of $602,200 to members of Maryland’s overwhelmingly-Democratic congressional delegation during the 2014 election cycle, which runs through November’s midterm elections, according to the most recent figures available from the Center for Responsive Politics.
These companies gave more than $913,000 to Maryland lawmakers during the 2012 election cycle.
Defense companies tend to give more to Maryland’s congressional delegation than to those from other states. So far, in the 2014 election cycle, Maryland senators have received an average of $184,000 — versus the national average of $26,969. Members of the House have received an average of $29,275 — versus the national average of $20,816.
Why does Babs Mikulski need campaign money? It's not like she has ever had a serious opponent. She could spend less than $10,000 on a campaign and still win.
what? defense contractors donating money to elected officials' campaigns? I'm shocked. Shocked I say. Is anyone else making contributions to elected officials? How can this possibly be?
"Anonymous said... And they always say republicans get all the defense money.

"They" also say it's the republicans who are in bed with Big Business and nothing could be further from the truth. The democrats walk around with their heads shoved up the butt of the corporations, the large ones that is. The large corps want to get rid of all competition and have just a handful of them controlling all services, trade and commerce. The democrats want this as well because then the workers are more controlled.
