Sunlight Foundation Takes Another Look At Lobbyist Bundlers

The Sunlight Foundation released a video on Thursday highlighting its investigation of lobbyist bundlers with OpenSecrets.org.

The investigation, which looked at campaign contribution records and reports filed by lobbyists, revealed the extensive influence lobbyist bundlers -- or outside lobbyists who collect contributions from others and direct money to a particular candidate -- have over lawmakers.

Sen. Max Baucus is one of the biggest beneficiaries of bundler contributions, collecting donations from 37 outside lobbyists representing PhRMA and 36 outside lobbyists representing biotech giant Amgen from January 2007 to July 2009.
