And speaking of campaign contributions, take a look at these figures accumulated by CASILIPS:

Have you posted the campaign donations made by the NEA?
I don’t know how reliable these numbers are, but here is something reported as a state by state breakdown for 2006: http://educationnext.org/files/UnionSpendingTable.pdf
To whom were these contributions made?
I have no idea. The education next contributions cite The National Institute on Money in State Politics and the Digest of Education Statistics: 2008, but I don’t know anything about the reliability of the source. The numbers for David Brennan are “reported by a reader”, so I am at a loss to evaluate how credible they might be.
So, this is simply limited information of unknown accuracy.
Yup. There is a lot of that around here.
