Need help researching company donations please

[Ian David]

I've already checked these two sites:
http://www.choosetheblue.com/main.php
http://www.buyblue.org/

And I can't find a bunch of the places we frequently visit.

Do you have any information on whether they give Democrat or Republican?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

1. LOL! I knew your were in MA just by reading your list.

Stop & Shop a dead give away. I've been trying to find out about them too as they have almost a monoply in my area.

I have heard that Krispy Kreme gives heavily to republicans.

7. Have you tried....

http://www.freenortheast.com/ltred.php

I looked up "Krispy Kreme"-- 100% RED
Stop & Shop apparently made NO contributions (at least, none were found)

Check out the website

8. You guys are awesome

Krispy Kreme gives 100% Republican?

Even though Bill Clinton used to have Krispy Kreme flown-in to Washington?

9. I'm afraid so... at least, according to the website and I trust them

amazon.com gives 61% of their political monies to Repugs!!

Barnes & Noble gives 100% to the Dems
Borders Books also

I don't shop at amazon anymore, needless to say.
