How About FiscalPolicyFest?


Hacking Campaign Finance Data

This "hacking" approach sounds like a useful set of exercises to start PRACTICING.  However the application-  barring an initial StrategyFest - quickly looks like Divide&ConquerFest, or Distract&DeceiveFest.

Practice is necessary but not sufficient prelude to strategic implementation.

Why is CAD popping in to my mind? Just a spurious connection?

Has anyone ever used this:
