Hey everybody.
Check out buyblue.org, your guide to which corporations donate to democrats and which to republicans. I just found out Amazon gives six figures to republicans a year. So, no more Amazon for me. I recommend using Powell's online service instead.

I find it really perplexing that Heinz donates 70% to republicans.

... have you looked at the breakdown? amazon gives plenty to democratic senators...who support issues important to them, like the Internet Tax Non-Discrimination act and they also give to the Reps. whose district their warehouses are in. Yeah, most of it goes to Republicans, but 100% of it goes to Amazon's self-interest...
