Your friends and neighbors...

I've been looking up various people and their campaign donations here

And I've already found out some interesting things about the people I went to high school with. Or actually, their parents.

It looks like the maximum direct contribution an individual can make to a candidate is $2K.

Uma Thurman, Ed Norton, and many others gave the full amount to Kerry.
Puff Daddy - $2,000 to Sharpton! (Money flushed down the toilet, but tax deductible.)
Susan Sarandon - full amount to Dean.
The Donald - $2K to both Kerry AND Bush.
Ben Affleck - $2K to Clark.

I couldn't find too many famous people giving to Bush, 'cept for Kelsey Grammer and some golfers.

It's addictive though.
