Michael Moore - putting his money where his mouth is...
From
Moore-Watch comes an interesting little bit of investigative reporting...
Michael Moore says he is very politically active and he says he is rich (here is a quote published in the
Arcata Eye)
bq. I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do. That's pretty good, isn't it? There's millions that believe in what I do. Pretty cool, huh?
OK - so where does Mickey stand on political contributions?
There is a website called
Opensecrets.org which tracks political contributions. (The data is public domain anyway, these people have done a wonderful job indexing it.) A
search on Michael Moore living in NY State turns up 13 hits. The only Filmmaker gave a grand total of $1,000 to Hillary Rodham Clinton in April of 2000.
Note too that the search was for the time from 2000 through 2004.
Way to go Mikey - put your money where your mouth is...
