Need Help - Re: Walmart

My sister-in-law just called. She works in a doctor's office. She said the whole office is Republican, but for some reason (many reasons) they hate Walmart. When she told one of the doctors about Walmart's political contributions to the GOP, he told her if she could prove it, he'd register Democrat! So, help me out, please?

Does anyone have a link regarding Walmart's political contributions? I heard a while back on CNN they were the second largest contributor to the GOP in the nation, but I can't find a link.

Thanks.
