Auto-SummaryThe list published on OpenSecrets.org ranks the top 150 organizations that donated to federal candidates and parties in the 2013-2014 election cycle. The rankings are based on the total amount contributed, with ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising platform, leading the list with $119.8 million in donations, with 100% going to Democratic candidates. The top 10 organizations, including labor unions, corporations, and special interest groups, skewed heavily Democratic, with only a few notable exceptions, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Club for Growth, which are largely Republican. The list highlights the significant influence of money in politics and the dominance of certain groups in contributing to federal elections.

--------------------
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
