there are very strict rules for funding candidates & candidate campaigns vs. issue fundraising campaigns.

There is not a method to 'slush fund' those donations. They are separate entities.

I'm looking for specific donor & recipient lists for each state, other than those state election boards/commissions that are the official reporting methods. More of the 527, Citizen's United groups, like Wisconsin's WMC (Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce non-profit).
The 'side' funding groups who run issue ads on TV and may have spent more than the actual official candidate and political parties.
