Oracle and the 2012 FEC election cycle

The intersection, not the Oracle hub

The overlay path for Oracle 2012 is where disclosed names become visible. This JSON is a snapshot of grouped totals. Oracle × 2012 totals $368,710 from 142 donors and 496 lines, 9.40% of the $3,920,641 parent — a larger share than Boeing’s 2012 cell relative to its parent, still a minority of the Oracle book. Do not invent donor names from the Oracle label.

2012 is a presidential-year FEC two-year window. The packet does not split the two calendar years inside that clock. The Oracle 2012 overlay lists the disclosed names and recipient committees.

Share of the Oracle grouping

Campaign contributions grouped to ORACLE are not USAspending awards. This join does not claim that $368,710 funded contracts, grants, or research.

Do not add Oracle cells from other cycles into $368,710. Each /ties/ URL is one employer string × one cycle.

Why 2012 is not a calendar of invoices

FEC cycle 2012 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2012. Inside that clock, Oracle is one employer/occupation grouping among many. The 2012 election cycle hub shows other strings in the same window. This page keeps Oracle and 2012 named together so neither hub is mistaken for the join. 496 contributions and 142 donors are counts on itemized receipts grouped to ORACLE in that window, not a workforce census.

ORACLE is grouped employer text, not Oracle Corporation writing a treasury check. ORACLE CORP, ORACLE CORPORATION, and product-unit spellings can be other keys. The Oracle 2012 overlay is the overlay. The Oracle industry page is the parent grouping. The 2012 election cycle page is the cycle census. All FEC ties lists other joins.

Names stay on the overlay

USAspending rows for the same calendar years are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $368,710 funded federal awards, or that federal awards funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Geography or employer text on a contribution line does not convert the gift into an obligation.

Unitemized gifts and corporate treasury schedules are outside $368,710. LobbyVault does not treat 142 unique donors as a headcount of everyone associated with ORACLE in 2012. Mean gift size near $743 and mean per donor near $2,597 are ratios on this presidential-year cell. They are not a 10-K political-activity line. Generic strings can mix many legal employers. Named-firm strings can still miss affiliates that stored another spelling.

Where live totals override this snapshot

Internal links go to Oracle 2012, the Oracle industry hub, the 2012 election cycle, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The overlay lists disclosed names and recipient committees. The industry hub holds $3,920,641. The cycle hub holds other employer strings in 2012.

A complete citation: receipts grouped to ORACLE in FEC cycle 2012 total $368,710 from 142 donors and 496 itemized contributions, 9.40% of the all-cycle total of $3,920,641. The leftover outside 2012 is $3,551,931, or 90.6%. Cite FEC.gov. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

ORACLE is grouped employer text, not Oracle Corporation writing a treasury check. ORACLE CORP, ORACLE CORPORATION, and product-unit spellings can be other keys.

Keep both join sides in every citation of the headline total. This /ties/ page is a snapshot of packet facts, not a substitute for live FEC.gov bulk files. Amended reports can move either side of the join; the newer extract controls. Internal links stay on the packet hrefs only. Unitemized activity and independent expenditures remain outside these totals.

If a later extract revises ORACLE or cycle 2012, replace this snapshot. Do not average old and new totals.

2012 share 9.40% without a ranking

496 ÷ 142 is about 3.5 itemized lines per unique donor on this extract. That ratio can come from multiple committees, amended memos, or several gifts in the two-year window. It is not a documented payroll deduction plan.

ORACLE is grouped employer text, not Oracle Corporation writing a treasury check. ORACLE CORP, ORACLE CORPORATION, and product-unit spellings can be other keys. Related spellings, if they exist, have their own /ties/ pages when those packets were written. This file covers only oracle 2012 donations as the join key ORACLE × 2012.

The leftover $3,551,931 is every other cycle under ORACLE in this table, not a single neighboring year. Opening one other cycle still leaves the rest of $3,551,931 unexplained.
