For the March 2005 municipal election, Walmart made $59,124 in independent expenditures on behalf of Alarcon, Vasquez, and Clark, plus $15,000 in contributions to Rosemead PRIDE.

Thanks for doing all that research.
My public opinion survey is very limited, but, it says that many people are generally upset by politics and the economy. This war isn't going so great, gas prices are high, and there seems to be no end to it all.
