Center for Political Accountability

First hit I found on google on this topic: politicalaccountability.com

As they describe themselves:
"The Center for Political Accountability (CPA) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that was created in November 2003 to bring transparency and accountability to corporate political spending. It was formed to address the secrecy that cloaks much of the political activity engaged in by companies and the risks this poses to shareholder value."

They cite 60 large companies (http://www.politicalaccountability.net/index.php?ht=d/sp/i/869/pid/869) that have signed up to give full disclosure of political gifts.

Not really what we are looking for, but it shows how "accountability" is defined in modern American politics.

  1. Something kind of similar, http://politicalaccountability.net, says it is "bringing transparency and accountability to corporate political spending." That is somewhat similar to what I envisioned but I don't think anything could provide the interaction with policy makers like ours could...
