Question about Federal Election Commision website

[AnnitaR]

I have been on that site trying to find verification of my contributions to the Clark campaign. I can't find any record on there for me.

The dates I made contributions were:
9/29
10/15
10/30
11/7
1/31
2/10

Shouldn't I be able to pull up some record? Am I not searching the site correctly?

I go here http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/fecimg/norindsea.html and type in my name. Nothing comes up.

I go here http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/com_ind/C00390898/1/A/ and search under my last name. Nothing shows up.

Can someone help please?

1. They don't show complete data, for some reason. They only show 2

contributions for me (both in December) to Dean's campaign. I contributed multiple times last year. I really don't know the reason for the discrepancy.

2. I think they only show single amounts of $200 or more

You'd probably have to download the entire file the candidate submitted to see a detail of smaller amounts.

Thanks! I think that's the problem.

All of my donations were less than $200 each time.

5. The threshold for inclusion

is $200 per year, so your contributions may eventually show up if you continue to donate:

Financial reports contain all receipts and disbursements committees are required to disclose under the Federal Election Campaign Act. This includes contributions from individual people if the amount received from an individual totals more than $200 during a year; contributions from party committees, PACs, and candidates regardless of amount; loans received by committees and other kinds of receipts. Campaign and party committees, as well as PACs with no corporate, labor or membership sponsor must report their regular operating expenses, and all committees report contributions they give to other federal committees and any independent expenditures or other activities related to federal campaigns.
