Washington Tech Study Reveals Federal Tech Contractors Support GOP
The largest federal technology contractors overwhelmingly support the Republican Party, according to an analysis of campaign contributions conducted for Washington Technology.

In research commissioned by the leading magazine for systems integrators, the Center for Responsive Politics found that the companies on Washington Technology's Top 100 list gave 62 percent of their donations to the GOP and 38% to the Democrats. The chief executives of these companies have shown even stronger support for Republican candidates, giving 79% to Republicans and just 21% to Democrats.

The results of the research will be published in the October 11th issue of Washington Technology and on the magazine's Web site, www.washingtontechnology.com.

The center, which is a non-profit, non-partisan research group in Washington, D.C., tracked the contributions of Washington Technology's Top 100 federal IT contractors as reported to the Federal Election Commission. The data includes contributions of company employees, spouses, and political action committees. The Top 100 list, published annually in May, ranks the largest contractors based on their federal prime contracting IT revenue.

line.If you want to keep the grants coming you better toe the line.

2. Not mine!
Talked to the co-President in the elevator a couple of weeks ago. He's just mad that Kerry didn't speak out against the war sooner. He liked Dean.

Of course the FAA has a lot of people who remember what Reagan did to the controllers so our clients are overwhelmingly Democratic. Also no one snoops around your computer use. That's why I like working here.
