Top 25 Republican Party donors (1999-2003) with global consumer brands - Note some of these companies actually gave more to Dems in 2004?

3 Microsoft Corp. $5.12m
4 United Parcel Services $4.48m
5 MBNA $4.38m
6 Citigroup $3.93m

22 American Airlines $1.62m
23 Ford $1.52m
24 BP Amoco $1.25m
25 Disney $1.25m

Note, according to Open Secrets, some of the companies have given to both parties in similar quantites. * Microsoft and Disney actually gave more to dems in 04?

Microsoft Corp
56% Dems 44% Repugs

Citigroup Inc is
46% Dems 54 % Repugs

Open secrets has some excellent information.

Also note that BY FAR Corporations support R's over D's, but Labor Unions and Trial Lawyers are solidly with the Dems.

Wonder how many people shop Walmart not knowing that 83% of their contribs are to the R's?
