While it's poor form to have a leaky database, this information is largely public and dirt cheap. You can buy a whole state's worth of data for a couple hundred bucks or a few cents a name. That includes whether or not you're

What happens when the company that won tries to get on schedule 70, and are negotiated to contract to government for some fraction of a dollar? It sounds preposterous, but government has done more preposterous things in this sector.

Sigh. Yet another tool that makes it easy to write your representative. As though this is an actual problem. It isn't. The Market is saturated with so many tools to send messages to Congress. Especially electronic ones. Whether it be
