I know Home Depot gives to the Thugs, what about Lowe's?
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 11:44 AM by July
I want to give my brother a gift card because he's doing major work on his house, and I REALLY don't want to get the card at Home Depot.

Can't find Lowe's at www.buyblue.org or www.choosetheblue.com. Anyone have any information?

Thanks.

1. I heard Lowe's was much better than Home Depot

But, I can't say for sure. it could just be the lesser of 2 evils.

2. I don't know, but thanks for the link to buyblue.
Makes me feel terrific about all of my purchases at Borders, B&N, Bed Bath & Beyond, MAC, Bobbi Brown, and so forth. Might have to take a trip to Sonic this weekend to celebrate. :D

4. Complete donation history of Lowes and Home Depot chiefs
According to the FEC Robert Tillman, chairman and ceo of Lowe's, has no campaign contributions on record.


However, Robert Nardelli, HD's chairman and ceo has quite a record:

6. Lowe's Companies PAC--100 percent to Republicans in 2004
According to opensecrets.org, the Lowe's PAC donated exclusively to Richard Burr in this election cycle.

This is Home Depot's PAC data: http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.asp?strID=C00284885&Cycle=2004

This is my favorite PAC: The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers: http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.asp?strID=C00027342

96 percent to Democrats!
