Donors to DEMOCRATS ... :o)
Ok, ok.. about that "Top Rethug Donor List" :eyes:

Some of the donors on that list probably are worth avoiding.. but hey~~

We should take note that during the EXACT same timeframes as the data on that list was taken from:

Microsoft may have donated 6.2 million to R's....
~~But they donated MORE to Democrats!!

Time Warner may have donated 2.5 million to R's...
~~But they donated $14,842,257 to Democrats!!

Walt Disney may have donated 1.4 million to R's...
~~But they donated $8,531,04 to Democrats!!

**Same timeframe as that other list**: http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.asp?order=A

:bounce:

1. I don't think that's ever been a secret.
The corporations cover their political bets, and make certain that, whoever wins, is beholden to them.

3. Just boycott all Corporations
and buy locally. Don't go to Wal Mart, head to the locally owned grocery store (or the smaller chain with their headquarters in your state). When you support local businesses, the money stays in your community, where it helps the parents of your kids friends, gets donated to your church or Little League, etc.
