The numbers are growing every day, and people are starting to go after Best Buy as well. How many corporations will be willing to donate to right wing politicians if we identify them and spread the word? It's all about the bottom line. If donations to the right bring pain, the donations will stop.


Shareholder meetings are also a nice venue to discuss political donations.

1. I was wondering when we'd see the effects of the Citizens United decision.
Now we're seeing it.

4. These days, a large grocery store probably has most fo what she needs
and for the rest, she can probably get them with free shipping, delivered to her front door, by buying them online:)

5. Someone needs to get a message across to corporations
1. We don't want you to donate to EITHER "side"

2. Use that "extra" money you seem to have, to reduce prices for your customers & to pay your workers more

3. It's not a '"right v left" issue

9. or hire more. Best Buy could've hired 4 full timers for what they gave this bigot.
Edited on Wed Aug-04-10 09:23 PM by Touchdown
Granted $25,000 isn't much to live on, but it's better than 4 people on unemployment or part time, or some right wing teabager having an extra $100,000 in his war chest.

I guess I'll just have to buy that $700 Blu-Ray 400 disc carousel someplace else.

EDIT: And the extended warranty I usually buy as well.
