If you're a programmer and want to do something politically powerful, write a tool that takes FEC bulk data and dereferences the chains of PAC-to-PAC donations used to obfuscate giving, so we can see clearly which corporations donated to which candidate.

It is! But I haven't been able to find the scripts to do this analysis myself off of FEC bulk data, most likely because I'm a beginner and don't know where to look for them.
