Political Action Committees who Have Contributed over $5000 to Mitt Romney’s Campaign

When I ran for Fullerton City Council in 2010, one thing I learned is that any informed voter must pay attention to who is bankrolling a candidate’s campaign, as this will likely influence the decisions and policies they make in office, way more than anything they say (talk is cheap). This morning, I decided to take a gander at which Political Action Committees have contributed over $5000 to presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Here are some of them. For a complete list, visit the Federal Election Commission web site HERE.
