This oddly-named site claims that it helps 3 million (and counting) Americans "follow the money." Whether that's completely true or not, the site does offer an intriguing collection of information: from the number of dead and wounded and the amount of money spent in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to news headlines, to country fact-sheets and maps, to games, to -- most interesting to prospect researchers -- political donations.
What makes this site helpful is the way it breaks out contributions by state (click on a state name for a drop-down box of races; choose a candidate to see donors listed alphabetically) and by type of donor (celebrities, billionaires, sports stars, media executives). Scroll down to see the day's most popular searches.
Launched in September, and based on Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Hill, LegiStorm provides a database of salaries of Congressional staffers. The data is obtained from Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House reports published every three months (House) or every six months (Senate). There is a time lag of several weeks, and these are not annual salaries -- they're either three-month or six-month figures.
Click on one of the available tabs: Last Name, Representative, Senator, Committee, Leadership Office, Admin Office or State. This is an all-inclusive database; for example, you can even see the earnings of IT support staff and the good folks who work in the House Child Care Center.
PSYCHOLOGY TODAY THERAPY DIRECTORY
Psychology Today says it's "here to help," so let's see if it can help a prospect researcher. If you are looking for a professional in the field of mental health, there is a possibility that he or she would be listed in this database. Professionals are invited to register in order to be listed. But it might be worth taking a look.
You can search by last name, city, zip code or area of specialization. If you scroll down you can search by state. Click on Custom Search to add additional criteria, including type of therapist, ethnicity, religious belief, language spoken and more.
For the therapists you do find, a full profile may bring up a photo, address, short blurb, educational background, years of practice, client focus, specialty areas and the average cost charged per session (which could be especially helpful if you're looking at a prospect). You can sort your list alphabetically or by fee scale.
Down the left side of the page, under Complementary Health, select Find a Practitioner to run a similar search for acupuncturists, aromatherapists, chiropractors, dietitians, homeopaths, massage therapists, naturopaths, nutritionists, physical therapists and osteopathic physicians.
