Buy Blue
A great site, which breaks down corporate campaign contributions by Party. Support the blue stores!!! Vote with your pocketbook!
Particularly depressing/crazy:
- Circuit City: 96% contributions to Republicans
- Home Depot: 94% to Republicans (no wonder I prefer Lowe’s!)
- Fruit of the Loom: 100% to Republicans
- Outback Steakhouse: 95% to Republicans
- Russell Stover’s Chocolates: 100% to Republicans
- Hallmark: 92% to Republicans (no wonder the GOP has the market cornered on cheap sentimentality)
-
Particularly reassuring/heartwarming:
- Costco: 98% to Dems
- Barnes and Noble: 98% to Dems (I still don’t forgive them for driving small bookstores out of business, though)
- Bed, Bath, and Beyond: 97% to Dems
- Sharper Image: 92.4% to Dems
- J Crew: 100% to Dems
- Sketchers: 100% to Dems
- Starbucks: 100% to Dems (wish they had saved up a bit to improve their coffee)
