UPDATE! Bloomberg News reports "unprecedented decision by major U.S. corporations to suspend political contributions to 147 Republican lawmakers after last week’s Capitol riot...donors are using their financial clout to punish more extreme views."
The Hill reports "Republicans are scrambling to contain the fallout."
Then, donate to increase pressure on more corporations to #DrainTheTraitors! -- The PCCC Team

Well, this is amazing.
Corporate PACs are announcing they will stop donating to the traitors in Congress.
American Express promised to never again donate to ANY of the 147 congressional Republicans like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley who voted to overturn our democratic election. Hallmark is demanding their money back!
The Washington Post reports a “deluge of announcements” by some corporations is creating pressure on others.
And then donate to increase pressure on more corporations to #DrainTheTraitors!
Hundreds of corporate PACs have been contacted. On our #DrainTheTraitors page, we tell you which response they have given:
- Great answers! Permanently have cut donations.
- Good, but temporary. We're pushing them to make permanent.
- False equivalence. Cutting "all" donations to everyone - very wimpy.
- Blah answers. "Reviewing" their policies.
- No comment or refused to take a stand.
If corporations want their customers, investors, and employees to know they stand with American democracy, they must take a stand now.
By thanking corporations that will never donate again to these 147 traitors, we can encourage other corporations to do the same. And by shaming brands that refuse -- or that want the positive PR without meaningfully standing up for democracy -- we can create pressure to change their mind.
And then donate to increase pressure on more corporations to #DrainTheTraitors!
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
