Spending Some Green on Blue or Red

Monday, December 20, 2004

By Liza Porteus

NEW YORK — This holiday shopping season, consumers have a way to find out which way their favorite store leans in its political givings.

BuyBlue.org offers up information on which political party stores such as Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond and Sharper Image donate to. For example, of the $2 million Wal-Mart donated during the 2004 election cycle, 80 percent went to Republicans, putting it in the "red category," whereas of the $208,000 Price Club/Costco donated that year, 98 percent of it went to Democrats, putting it in the "blue" category.

Other services listed included restaurants, oil and gas companies and airlines, among others.

"The catch phrase we've been using is, 'have a Blue Christmas' — find out what businesses have been naughty and which have been nice and shop accordingly," San-Francisco-based BuyBlue.org President Raven Brooks told FOXnews.com. "Really, during the Christmas season, that's when people spend the most money and corporations are paying the most attention to their bottom line, so that's why it's most important to get that information out there."

BuyBlue.org was born after this year's presidential elections resulted in President Bush ............

Exchange instead of shop, recycle & save money too! November 16, 2006 8:45 PM

 

The PEOPLES EXCHANGE concept is to recycle and exchange goods of approximate, equal value. Everyone has something they don't need that someone else does and everyone has a need that someone else can fill. Fill each others needs instead of the landfills.
