2004-2005 Senate Pork Dump - Now in SEARCHABLE form!

by: wycats

Thu Nov 30, 2006 at 11:17:23 AM EST


As promised, I have uploaded the 2004-2005 pork dump in searchable text.

A quick caveat: The text is searchable, and mostly usable. However, it is fairly dirty (signatures got scanned in as jumbles of text, some things didn't scan perfectly, etc.). I have tried to parse the initial text version to make it more readable by taking out extraneous text (like the word Signature, for instance).

You can get the pork dump at:

Rock 'n' Roll....!!!!!! (0.00 / 0)
That's what I'm talkin' about.

We've got some work ahead of us.

there's soooooo much stuff in here (0.00 / 0)
i think we know now why they tried so freakin' hard to keep this stuff from the public.

Scrambled Swine Surprise (4.00 / 1)
Thanks for giving us the ability to sift through this mess with relative ease wycats.  Despite JB's best efforts to suppress, scramble, and slow down the analysis of it, the pork puzzle is being pieced together and dots are being connected. 

It is astonishing just how much a given majority conference Senator can dole out.  I've been processing through the heap on just one upstater's name, who mostly runs unopposed in a sprawling district, and the hits just keep on coming though I've only scratched the surface!

Here's hoping others will dive into this effort to aid in our collective understanding. 

The harvest is ripe, now bring on the workers and turn up the heat.


Keep looking into the organizations.... (0.00 / 0)
that get the pork...Board of Directors and how much they gave to the campaigns....

All this should be out in the open.

We've got some work ahead of us.

Seems strange (0.00 / 0)
Was searching thru for my local senators pork and found quite a few awards to same organization. Then I searched for the organization and found that the list seems to duplicated 8 times in my download of text. Did I get it all or is something wrong with my download? Help?

Weird (0.00 / 0)
I suppose it could be a glitch in the file. Can you email me what you downloaded?
