apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This is silly. I would look up this site just to see and support what companies have NOT given any money to political parties. Who wants to support corporations who have a stake in and pander to political parties of all things? I want companies to think about me and my needs, not their ties in Washington. I love buying Method products because they work, they smell good, they don't give me a headache, and their package design gives me heart palpitations; not because they gave money to the DNC for god's sake.

I agree that supporting companies with limited political involvement might be the right way to go, since the desires of special interest groups and corporations can often conflict with the best interests of citizens.

However, even that perspective suggests the need to be informed about corporate giving. For example, Procter and Gamble gives millions of dollars via its PACs, and Unilever has a corporate policy of not contributing to any political campaigns (although they do employ lobbyists). Which company's products do you spend more money on?

I think this tool is less about helping consumers to find out the political affiliations of various companies, but more about letting voters know from which companies a political party has accepted money.

For instance, if I saw that a party accepted a hefty donation from Exxon, that would definitely give me a pause before voting for them.
