It's no wonder why Congress won't have investigative hearings on Freddie and Fannie like they do the oil companies. They are taking money from the two. OpenSecrets.org reports that Freddie and Fannie have given the total of $4,844,572 to the 354 legislators. 57% of that sum goes to Democrats. Like one of the comments noted on OpenSecrets.org this should be a conflict of interest since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is a gov't created organization. Here are some notable legislators:
| Dodd, Christopher J. | $165,400 |
| Obama, Barack | $126,349 |
| Kerry, John | $111,000 |
| Reid, Harry | $77,000 |
| Clinton, Hillary | $76,050 |
| Pelosi, Nancy | $56,250 |
| McCain, John | $21,550 |
| Hatch, Orrin G | $18,250 |
