I'll Have A Blue Christmas

Since Better Dead Than Red isn't my idea of a viable philosophical option, I'm content this holiday season just sticking it to Red State Mentality corporations.

To this end, I highly recommend...

Our goal here is to provide you information on who gave what to what political party this last election cycle. There are many factors which will eventually pertain to the "Blue-approved" label, however with buying season upon us, we quickly wanted to give people SOMETHING to go off of. Political donations and their effects are but one of many factors we will look at when a company is taken into consideration. We understand that there are Blue-contributors which have less than savory business practices, and we will be focusing on "the big picture" in the coming weeks.

Sometimes there is just no choice as to who to buy from and we wholeheartedly encourage buying from local and independent businesses wherever and whenever possible. The long term goal is to help reduce corporate money from politics; this is not a geographical boycott. LINK
