Washing Money Isn't Always Easy

Most people would say money is money, regardless of where it comes from. This in essence is the quickest way for corruption to makes it's way into society. Without the watchful eye of reporters like William March, it is hard to say where our government would be and what ethics may have dissolved.

Mr. March is not an investigative reporter but a political reporter. Sharing with us his stories gave me not only insight to the political world but to the world fighting illegally to support politics.

Money Laundering, making dirty money clean in an effort to support a preferred political candidate, has always been hard to catch but March went far enough and dug deep enough to uncover the filth of those getting around a fair system that limits what any one individual can donate to political candidates.

After bringing down a corrupt individual responsible for donating illegally to Clinton's campaign over ten years ago, March shared with us the sites that gave him access to records some may never consider. For example, although what political candidate an individual votes for is private, whether one voted or not or what party one is registered with is public. Sites like FEC.gov and moneyline.cq.com can provide information to tear down moneylaundering. The key to accomplishing this successfully, March mentioned, is to understand the site you are using and how to get the most out of it.

With anything we do in life, we want to fully maximize the work we put in in an effort to maximize results. Well, political reporting is no different. Opensecrets.org also allows for the light to be shed on any funny business conducted among those donating to campaigns.

There are endless website that can guide us to exactly what we need when simply googling a recipe, or trying to bring down a corrupt corporation. It all depends on your knowledge and willingness to put in the time.

Without the time, results are rare but when the effort is made, there is no way to explain the feeling of making a change in the system. If you don't believe me, ask March.
