United States Congresswoman Gwen Moore

I plan on continuing my discussion on information about Congresswoman Gwen Moore's Election Campaigns. As I was researching from a prior blog, I stumbled across a magnificent website titled Opensecrets.org. I instantaneously knew that I would reference this website for future blogs/assignments. I was fortunate to obtain this graph that shows certain amounts of donations from several "Political Action Committee's":

Congresswoman Gwen Moore 03/03/2011


I have done some researching on Congresswoman Gwen Moore's "Election Campaigns". As I did some research I stumbled across Rep. Moore's "Campaign Headquarters/Website". As I read through this website in search of some concrete information on Congresswoman Moore I learned that people like "myself" and you, whomever is reading this particular blog, is her contributors. Congresswoman Gwen Moore's Campaign website seeks people of our caliber. She seeks students, low income, middle income, and even upper income individuals and/or families to assist her through donating to her election campaigns. What I saw on her campaign website was various different links, with different titles, that a person could click on to donate to her campaign. It seemed extremely easy, and a person does not have to be computer savvy to make donations, in my opinion. Representative Gwen Moore actually states on her Campaign website that a person can donate "$10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000", or any amount that you can afford at the time that you would see fit.


Also as I continued searching through various websites in search of information on Congresswoman Gwen Moore's Election Campaign. I spotted two unique and revealing graphs from a website that conveys Congresswoman Gwen Moore's data on precisely how much she earned and spent for her 2010 election.
