It appears that opensecrets.org isn’t quite the treasure trove I recall it being due to FEC reporting requirements. I went there today to query my own giving and could not formulate a query that would return records for me. It turns out that the FEC does not require campaigns or PACs to itemize contributions of $200 or less, according to a staffer at the Center for Responsive Politics, which runs the website. My contributions are usually $25 at a time.
I think I’m happy to make sure that my contributions never match or exceed that figure (not that there’s really much danger of that anyway).
