Republican-only Corporate Contributors

[Jon8503]

I will not go to Wendy's anymore, will not go to Home Depot or JC Penny.

From PoliticalMoneyLine.com, here's a list of those corporations that exclusively, or nearly so(90-100%), support only the Republican Party over the Democratic Party in financial contributions:
Phillips Int'l. (100%), Cooper Industries (100%), Flowers Industries (100%), Harris Corp. (98%), Illinois Toolworks (97%), Outback Steakhouse (96%), ExxonMobil (96%), National City Corp. (95%), Wendy's Int' l. (93%), Anadarko Petroleum (92%), Timken Corp. (91%), Halliburton (91%), Meadwestvaco Corp (90%), Darden Restaurants Inc. (90%), Branch Banking & Trust Co (90%), and Int'l Paper (90%).
Here's a few more in the 80-90% range:

CATERPILLAR 89%
J.C.PENNEY CORP. INC. 89%
GOODYEAR TIRE 89%
CONOCOPHILLIPS SPIRIT 89%
SMITHFIELD FOODS INC 88%
CHEVRONTEXACO 87%
FORD MOTOR COMPANY 84%
CIGNA CORPORATION 83%
OWENS CORNING 83%
CONAGRA FOODS 83%
HOME DEPOT INC. 81%
BAXTER HEALTHCARE CORPORATION 81%
3M COMPANY 80%

See, if we had a Democratic Party leadership with some steel for action to change the status quo, they'd come out with a PR asking Democratic Party voters to stop going to Wendy's if they are going to only contribute to Republicans. Instead, we get the likes that are grateful for the 7% in crumbs, which is good enough to buy off their silence.

Overall, the list of Corporations that give more than 50% of their contributions to the Republican Party numbers 254. On the Democratic side? There is only one Corp. that gives above 60% to the Democratic Party, CableVisions Systems at 78%, and 22 others in the 50-59% range. It's a 10:1 ratio in the number of corporations favoring Republicans over Democrats, but for the actual money, it's much higher, 25:1 or greater.

The GOP has the corporations in their pockets writing the laws. The only way the Democratic Party can possibly counter is through having leaders that recognize the power of a million individuals nationwide being a part of a netroots/grassroots effort to reform the political system.

1. I work for one of those companies

Should I quit?

[Stephanjnj]

6. If I were you

I wouldn't quit unless a better job opportunity availed itself. I'd seriously consider not purchasing their products however. It's still possible to affect change from the inside.

[Jon8503]

8. No as the other guy said nobody expects you to quit. That would

not do any good. Besides sometimes you can effect change better from the inside. Also, we all know, we have to work so the only thing here is information. We don't have to purchase the products.

2. Vote with your WALLET! I like it!

conagra would be hard to avoid - they own everything from butterball to healthy choice, chun king to van camp, blue bonnet to act II popcorn.

BUT Wendy's is easy, so is Home Depot, JC Penney, Exxon Mobile and Texaco. Also Outback steakhouse.
My family will not shop at any of the above. also I have forwarded this little nugget to everyone on my mail list. Who will join us?

3. I'm with you.

4. Don't forget Iam's dog food

They're reported to have financed the take-over of Ohio by the Republican Party.

[Radio-Active]

7. we are fighting for the very life of our democracy

we have to organize these boycotts. we know who the treasonous bastards are who are destroying us. we have the power to stop them in their tracks and for the sake of our children we must. every one of us has to get hold of these lists paste them on the refrig and sacrifice if need be to not shop at or in any way support these fascists. fortunately there are usually alternatives. the election is fixed the courts are fixed and all branches of government are fixed. this as i see it is our only alternative.
