John, this is an email about corporations that are funding members of Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 election. It’s based on data my team has been combing through for years, so please take a moment to read this message, and then make a donation to help us fight for accountability for election deniers → [[link removed]]On January 6th, 2021, 147 members of Congress voted against certifying the election and continued to push the Big Lie that led to the attack.
In the wake of the insurrection, nearly two hundred corporations and industry groups said they would pause or altogether stop making political contributions to those members of Congress. But now, nearly three years later, most of these companies have abandoned that promise.
In total, since January 6th, corporations have donated more than $90 million to these election deniers, who we call the Sedition Caucus.
Two companies, Koch Industries and Boeing, have already donated well over $1 million to these election deniers. And one more company just hit this major milestone: Home Depot.
Top 5 corporate donors to the Sedition Caucus: Koch Industries: $1,511,000
Boeing: $1,258,500
Home Depot: $1,000,000
AT&T: $959,900
UPS: $923,500
By continuing to fund members of Congress who would undermine American democracy, these corporations are sacrificing democratic government for access and influence. These companies in particular have not only decided to fund the Sedition Caucus, but to double down with their massive political spending.
