SEATTLE HEADLINE: "Microsoft may end political giving to Republicans who voted to overturn election." The decision will be made by soon. APPLY PRESSURE ON MICROSOFT NOW. CLICK HERE!
Republican Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz led the charge in Congress to overturn the democratic election results. Then, even after the violent insurrection that killed 5 people -- they and 145 other Republican traitors still voted to overturn the election.
Now, CNBC reports: "Republican officials are concerned about raising money for the 2022 midterm elections as corporations distance themselves from lawmakers who challenged Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election."

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.
This #DrainTheTraitors effort builds on reporting by Judd Legum at Popular Information to increase the pressure on corporations to take decisive action. (Subscribe to Popular Information here.)
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.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
