After reading through
this diary and the
list of RNC contributors, I was forced to take a look at my spending habits.
I was appalled. I have been unwittingly giving untold thousands of dollars to the republicans through my daily purchases.
This has got to change, for ALL of us. It's the only vote we have left that can still count.
I plan to support buyblue.org if I can, but in the meantime, I've made a comprehensive list of products and stores to avoid below the fold, as the list of parent companies is not enough.
All in the list below are owned by companies that gave at least 75% of their political donations to the republican party.
