5. I don't know how the law works but most companies give money to both

the GOP and Dems. You can discount companies that are basically fair in the distribution of contributions. There are some major companies, however, that are very skewed towards the GOP. Home Depot, for example, gave 97% of their contributions to GOP candidates. 75% of Wachovia's contributions (totalling over $850,000) went to GOP candidates. I would boycott the companies that are 1) Prominent and 2) Give a disproportionate amount of money to GOP candidates in relation to Dems. I'll create a small list of companies and post it in this thread sometime today.
