The Center for Responsive Politics follows the money leading to the Social Security reform debate.
On the President's side, that includes the Alliance for Worker Retirement Security -- with connections to Pfizer, Hewlett-Packard, and the US Chamber of Commerce -- and more than $34.6 million in contributions to federal candidates since 1999. And support from the security and investments sector which contributed $8.1 million to the Bush campaign in 2004.
In the other corner -- the non-partisan AARP is joining forces with highly partisan labor unions -- whose PACs gave $52.7 million almost exclusively to Democrats last year and their 527 groups which spent $101 million.
