Just Curious

About things that will have absolutely have no impact on my life.

I was bumping along the Open Secrets website and decided to punch in 'Tea Party' to view who contributes financially to it.

Of course, there is no "one" Tea Party but several chapters. The only ones listed were for Louisiana and Cincinnati.

The University of Cincinnati was its biggest contributor followed by a bunch of, I assume, local businesses. At least it's a good sign the amount they raise (240k) still exceeds the amount they spend (by 20%). 65% of expenditures are on campaigning.

Lousiana's operation is far smaller having raised 12k but, again, they only spent about 8k. Among its "major" contributors include Holiday Hallmark.
