Got a blast from the past. 2000 campaign for US Congress to be exact. Up popped a google alert today that Steven Spielberg gave me $2000.

You can check out Open Secrets at http://www.opensecrets.org/ to find out who gives to whom on the federal level...
or Little Sis, which google picked up and I never heard of before.
