	UVA Center for Politics
		The Center for Politics is an interdisciplinary, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the proposition that government works better when politics works better and its corollary that politics works better when citizens are informed and active participants.
		To the contrary, the Center views politics as human nature writ large with mankind's virtues, not just vices, larger than life, and as a system well designed by the Founders to enlarge the virtues and contain the vices.
		Politics is the glue that holds together the most diverse democracy on the face of the earth, counteracting the centrifugal forces that can potentially tear the nation apart.

		Topping the Center's 2006 list of big donors are lawyers, the real estate industry, Wall Street and, as usual, contributors who list their occupation as "retired." Business interests account for about three-quarters of all contributions, with ideological, labor and other interests making up the rest.

	Large, Undisclosed Contributions to Presidential Libraries Create Potential for Corruption (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		WASHINGTON — Contributions to the nation's presidential libraries are unlimited and undisclosed-a potentially corrupting combination-the director of the Center for Responsive Politics testified on Capitol Hill today.
		As Americans visit our nation's presidential libraries, their awe for the presidents who served our country, their confidence in those leaders and their trust in the system that honors them should not be tarnished by any suspicion that the public places they are visiting have been sold for the benefit of private interests.
		A presidential pardon for a six-figure contributor to Clinton's library and political campaigns "left the indelible impression with many that a presidential pardon was purchased," Krumholz said.
