  Yes, this is an amazing site.  For the Pennsylvania Environmental Network,
  I've created a guide to researching campaign contributions on the web.
  Some of it is specific to Pennsylvania, but 95% applies to federal campaign
  contribution research sites.  There are many online tools available and
  this Guide explains some of the merits of using each of them.
  
  The guide I wrote is at:
  http://www.envirolink.org/orgs/pen/pubs/campaign_research.html
  
  It should also be viewable at
  <http://www.penweb.org/pubs/campaign_research.html>, however a couple of
  the links internal to EnviroLink may not work from that address yet.
