I nice list of companies and where they gave their money in the last election cycle sure makes deciding where to do business a lot easier. buyblue.org is a site that encourages people to do business with companies that give money to Democrats, but it is just as useful for Republicans (or in my case, Conservatives) too. A few I was pleasantly surprised to see in the red column were: Circuit City, Home Depot, Target (strange, they are or once were owned by the Dayton family, of which Senator Mark is a member), Amazon.com, Outback Steakhouse, Hallmark (cards), and United Airlines. Companies I was sad to see in the blue include: Costco, Sonic, and Netflix.

Update: A similar site, choose the blue seems at first glance to have more detailed information about how much money various companies gave to political campaigns in the last election. I doubt it sits well with the Left that the Right is using their own tactics against them.

Walmart (100% red) is also matching up to $1,000,000 of the money the Salvation Army is able to raise at their stores. I think that’s where I’ll be going instead of Target this year.
