6 Steps To Defund GOP Seditionists #DefundSeditionists

By spocko, on January 14th, 2021%

Last night Brian Williams said “Big corps don’t like to be associated with seditionists.” He was talking about the corporations who have suspended donations to any member of Congress who objected to the certification of the Electoral College vote. This campaign was spearheaded by Judd Legum and his new publication Popular Information.

Popular Information contacted 144 corporations that, through their corporate PACs, donated to one or more of these eight Senators in the 2020 election cycle. Popular Information asked if they would continue to support these Senators in the future. In response, three major companies said they would stop donating to any member of Congress who objected to the certification of the Electoral College vote. – Major corporations say they will stop donating to members of Congress who tried to overturn the election – Jan 10, 2021 by Judd Legum and Tesnim Zekeria

Companies suspend donations to Republicans who challenged Biden’s certification

By spocko, on January 10th, 2021%

In the wake of the U.S. Capitol attacks, four major corporations said they are suspending contributions through their corporate PACs to Republican lawmakers they’ve previously backed who challenged the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. – Jan 10, 2021 Jemima McEvoy – Forbes.

Marriott International @MarriottIntl, Blue Cross Blue Shield @BCBSAssociation, Commerce Bancshares and Citibank @Citi all told Popular Information, a political newsletter run by ThinkProgress founder and editor Judd Legum, that they will stop donating to any member of Congress who objected to the certification of the Electoral College vote.

They listed other companies that are reviewing their donations, but I took those four and looked into their donations record for Nebraska Representative Adrian Smith (R) District 3 who voted to challenge Biden’s certification. (The Guardian lists him as one of the 120 who objected to the certified results in Arizona and Pennsylvania). He hasn’t made a public comment since January 6th.

U.S. Rep. Adrian Smith from Nebraska’s 3rd Congressional District was the only member of the Nebraska congressional delegation to vote against formally validating Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. CHRIS MACHIAN, THE WORLD-HERALD
