The Color of Political Money

The OUCH! Newsletter, a listserv of information about money in politics annouces a new website:

"www.colorofmoney.org, allows you to conduct your own research on campaign money, race/ethnicity, and income in your own communities. You can look up information about your own state, top contributing metro areas, and zip code, as well as viewing color maps of the 25 top contributing metropolitan areas nationwide.

"You will see that the current campaign finance system discriminates against communities of color. The voices of people of color are muted because they typically can't afford to give as much campaign cash as white, wealthy communities do. As long as we have privately funded elections, and those who give money matter more than those that don't, this country will not be living up to the sacred value of "one person, one vote."
