http://www.democraticunderground.com/101788646I think he has forgotten one though. I think Amy K has. Do not know for a fact but I have reason to believe that she has since she was pro wolf hunt.

(2,642 posts)1. It's not a big secret.
The NRA publishes their list of recipients.
I've seen it on DU several times.
Wish I had a link - sorry.

[div class = "excerpt"]
Kline, John (R-MN) House $2,500
Peterson, Collin C (D-MN) House $2,500
Paulsen, Erik (R-MN) House $2,250
Cravaack, Chip (R-MN) House $2,000
Walz, Timothy J (D-MN) House $2,000
Bachmann, Michele (R-MN) House $1,000
Pawlenty, Tim (R) Pres $1,000
I was surprised at how relatively small the amounts donated are. The most they gave was $9,900 to Steve Fincher (R-TN) and Jim Renacci Jim (R-OH)
They only gave to 12 senate candidates and of them only 1 Democrat (not Klobuchar).

The low numbers are suspect to me. I know Amy was chomping at the bit before any one else to delist the wolves. This is strictly for shooters. A small group of shooters.
