Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Yeah, I'm sure this one DOESN'T donate to the donkeys as well.< /sarcasm>
Well yes, but the Dems don't want fence riders, then the election is still in play; they want ALL the protection money paid solely to them.
Go to:
http://www.opensecrets.org/pubs/toporgs/topdonors.asp
And you will find that since 1989, 12 of the top 20 "donors" are labor unions, and they all - every one of them - gave over 90% of their donations (many 99%) to DemocRATs.
Frankly, I'm getting damned sick and tired of people talking about "big corporations" giving to Republicans. It's the unions that are giving the big bucks, out of the pockets of members who vote about 40% for Republicans.
LOL. If you want to make your own badges ("Badges? We don't need no steenkin' badges!"), there's a badge maker at http://www.kalsey.com/tools/buttonmaker/, which is where I made the ones I use.

Consider this: the federal government already earns about $.30/gallon in taxes. The oil companies earn, perhaps, one tenth of that.
Why should they give a penny more?
