Why is this site important?
The world we are living in is changing.
It used to be that we all shopped at the local department store and made our purchases with very little thought as to who the owner of the store supports politically.
But these days, the mom and pop stores are mostly gone. They have been replaced with the humungous billion dollar box stores, and there are countless big-money brands being sold on the shelves of those huge stores.
And almost every one of these entities are making political contributions to political parties, contributions that can be tracked down (by us, that is where we come in) and displayed in a searchable format that you can look up at any time right from your mobile device.
Unless you have been locked away and haven't picked up a newspaper in the last couple of years, you totally understand how polorizing politics has become lately. You also understand just how important it is to make sure that you are doing everything you can be make sure that your voice is represented loud and clear. Aside from voting, one of the best ways for the masses to send a strong political message is to support the companies that make the same political stands that you do as an individual.
That is why SpendHowYouVote.com is so important. We do all of the heavy lifting for you, searching out the political contributions of every company and making those results easy for you to find.
ShowHowYouVote.com is Young but coming on strong
We don't claim to have political leanings information on every single company and brand out there. Our goal is to list the most prominent companies with the largest footprints. Our list of companies is growing and we do our best to add to it regularly. Feel free to suggest a company you think we should track by sending us an email.
**It is not a requirement that a company formally declare its political leanings and therefore, gathering such data can be complicated and unstandardized. Though we strive for quality, our data may not be accurate. If you notice an error or ommission, we would appreciate you letting us know, simply send a message to our email.
NOTE: Organizations and companies cannot directly contribute to candidates and political party committes, but they do so through contributions and spending by affiliates and that is where much of our data comes from. We use non-partisan, independent and nonprofit research organizations for our data, such as www.opensecret.org and followthemoney.org.
Sometimes, tracking down the owner of a specific company or brand can be challenging because there are many large corporate conglomerates that own multiple sub-companies. If that is the case, be sure to look at the "sub-company" section underneath the main company to make sure you are tracking the right brands. Search by Keyword to find the exact subsidiary and its parent company.
Be sure to download our app to your mobile device so you can look up companies while out and about.

I thought Target was a far-left company, but you showed me that they are actually pretty neutral. Thanks for putting mind at ease.
I can't believe how many automobile manufacturers are right-wing! Looks like I'll be driving a Tesla from now on.
Thanks for helping me choose between Amazon and WalMart for online purchases. I'll never go back!
