BP will stop using money to influence political process from now on.

BP's influence over policy will herewith be based on strength of ideas, rather than amount of money given.

Citizen Works did survey following that to find out what other CEOs will follow BPs example; one page pledge, asking if they wouldn't do it, how much did they give to politicians.

sent out five hundred pledges, got 12 responses.

Only COSTCO even bothered to fill out any info on what their corporate political gifting process (YAY! I shop there.)

several other respondents said they wouldn't participate.

only 12, remember, would even say a word in answer
