Blue Pages: A Directory of Companies Rated by Their Politics and Practices

[RamboLiberal]

Book I picked up over the weekend and highly recommend.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Using this pocket directory, consumers can be politically conscientious about something they do every day — shop. The Blue Pages lists companies’ political contributions to the Democratic and Republican parties and rates them by their partisanship. Each listing has a paragraph describing unique features of their business practices that may include charitable causes, social programs, labor practices, domestic partner and child care benefits, nondiscrimination policies, treatment of disabled employees, and environmental impact. Companies are organized alphabetically into 15 sectors, including: Clothing, Shoes, and Accessories, Health and Beauty, Finance, Real Estate and Insurance, and so on, making it easy to find a particular type of product or service. The A to Z index includes thousands of popular brand names and companies. Formatted like the highly successful Zagat Survey restaurant rating guides, The Blue Pages is slim and portable, perfect for backpack, glove compartment, or purse, and an ideal gift for the activist.
