How beholden is YOUR Congress Critter to Big Oil?

They have the amount every rep has taken from the Oil and Gas Industries since 1990, and how much they've already gotten for 2006. This is the kind of info that makes a letter to your Rep. an "up close and personal" one. It lets them know that they are being watched!

5. Both my Senators have taken lots of money the last couple of years
Clinton has taken way more than Schumer, while my Representative, Rep. Maurice Hinchey has taken zero money the last couple of years.
