Who Donates To Whom I HAD NOT SEEN THIS. GOOD INFORMATION
Kind of a messy list, but interesting to see how these companies line up with your own personal philosophy.
Guess we ALL Know Where to SHOP!!!
Know the companies you buy from and their political affiliation.
B e mindful of what businesses we patronize relative to their 2008 Election Cycle political donations, as reported by the Center for Responsive Politics. This shows both Democrat and Republican information!

I think this is my favorite line in all this:
"Heinz Republicans $64,000 Democrats $21,300!!!!! John Kerry's wife's company!!!"
Hey dimwits, this shouldn't be a surprise to you if you're paying attention. Heinz' CPAC and its board of directors gave all of their support to Dubya in 2004 even as the Swiftboaters were smearing Kerry. No one involved cares what Theresa Kerry thinks.
Not only that, they moved thousands of jobs offshore, as good little rightwing corporations always do.
When are you going to wake up?
Nice to have a shopping list.
