Use Your Power --------- ChooseTheBlue!
Corporations are as important as politicians in American Politics.

You know what party a politician supports. Do you know which political party a company supports?

ChooseTheBlue tells you what corporations donated to political parties.

If each American who voted for John Kerry spends $100 in 2005 on a Blue company instead of a Red company, we can move $5 Billion away from Republican companies and add $5 Billion to the income of companies who donate to Democrats.

This will be noticed! Choose where you buy ... and make a difference!!!

2. Thanks. May I also add the list of compaines that like to export jobs.
That can be found at CNN:

On the right hand side: From The Show: Exporting America: List of companies exporting jobs


Probably aren't too many people to buy from.

4. Hey, I didn't do too bad.
I can easily eliminate those that either did not donate to the Dem's or contributed less than 30-40%. The food areas are troublesome other than agri-beef. We buy from a private source. The retailers are easy enough. The utilities are more difficult but I can always sell their stock.

But I think I'll write the companies a letter telling them of my corporate responsibility. In the spirit of giving that is.

5. Me, too.
As I change my purchasing habits and start to shop "exclusively Blue" (wow, that's a beautiful image!), I should also send a letter to all the "Do Not Purchase" category.

As their sales start to dwindle, they need to know why. A letter from millions of people will reduce any time spent wondering. They'll know.

There's a thread here somewhere which lists all the Bad Guys. I'm going to print it and start mailing!
