Where do Corporations Donate their Political Dollars?

posted by

The election is just one day away, and while everyone is busy refreshing poll numbers on favorite election websites, I thought I’d forward a link to a new website that lists the political contributions of some of the biggest corporations in the world. GoodGuide has exhaustively researched political contributions of hundreds of corporations, many of which are corporations that RAN has engaged in campaigns, including Ford, GM, Staples, Citi and Bank of America. Take a minute and peruse www.goodguide.com/contributions to see where the money you spend goes.
