Updated: I have probably bollocksed it up, but
http://www.dkosopedia.com/index.php/Money_Changes_Everything is the Kosopedia thread which gives people more of an idea of the why, what, how of this project.
It's finally live:
http://www.freenortheast.com/ has a database of around 2500 brands, searchable and categorized, with links to who owns them and where the money went. In this final version of the database:
- 250+ corporations and 2500+ brands/chains
- Shows companies who support Republicans including six really bad Republicans and Bush
- Broken down into good, bad, and worst companies
- Includes regional/national companies who've no PAC and no soft money organization
- Includes category search
- Includes brand search
It also links to the begginings of a Scoop blog but for some reason Scoop isn't activating commenting, so for now it's related diaries until I figure this one out. Their documentation is...yuk.
Please bookmark the site and pass the word around -- in the next few days I will be putting up a flyer for Project Blue Christmas, which is going to help you and anyone you can paper with it shop Blue for Christmas gifts - the first of many great uses I see for this database!
Volunteers will probably needed at some point...so if you are interested please let me know.
