5. Go to the Opensecrets.org website (www.opensecrets.org) and research the most recent campaign finance profile of one or more members of the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives. As of 2005, this site also provides a link to the legislation sponsored by the legislator you selected (from the Library of Congress’s thomas.loc.gov website). See if you can discern a relationship between the pattern of campaign contributors and the pattern of legislation sponsored by the legislator you selected. See if your results are consistent with the interest group performance evaluations at Project Vote Smart (www.vote-smart.org).
