I found this site, quite interesting.

Curious on where your Congressman or Senator has traveled (including their staffers). Go HERE (http://www.legistorm.com)

I found this interesting...

The Sponsors of the trips who have spent the most money on behalf of Congressman or Senators is located HERE (http://www.legistorm.com/trip_browse_by_sponsor/index/sort/cost/type/desc.html)
The top four organizations to spend money are
Aspen Institute - 873 trips at $4,883,090
American Israel Education Foundation - 322 trips at $2,404,431
Chinese International Economic Cooperative Association - 361 trips at $1,749,523
Chinese National Association of Industry and Commerce - 295 trips at $1,288,716

I find it interesting two Chinese organizations are spending almost 3 million to fly our congressman around....Dont you?

But if taxpayers paid them, people would ***** equally.
