The first and most direct part is this: Is the World Wide Association
of Specialty Programs and Schools the largest Utah-based corporate
contributor to the Republican Party?

I read this allegation on www.heal-online.org and was very interested
to know a) how would they learn such a thing?  b) where I could
confirm the veracity of that statement? and c) is there any way a
private citizen such as myself can research legal and political issues
without violating the law?  I'm assuming some of this must be a matter
of public record, but where?

I don't wish to violate any laws, but I've read many disturbing things
about WWASP online and I want to know how I can find out the truth
about this organization's political activities without becoming the
target of a lawsuit.  I don't believe I can find any truth in
testimonies from for profit organizations with a vested interest in
the outcome, or from activist groups going off information they have
found in one or two publications.  I want to know where I can look for
court documents and financial records before I persue any activism of
my own.  Basically, I want to know the answer to my first question and
how to answer further questions of the same nature.
