I just went to this web site and it's pretty neat. Here is a description:"FundRace makes it easy to search by name or address to see which presidential candidates your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors are contributing to. Or you can see if your favorite celebrity is putting money where their mouth is."
I checked my name and didn't find anything although I have given money to Obama. I found out that contributions have to be over $200 for them to show up on the database.
