Google donates to Eye of the Tiger PAC, and then Eye of the Tiger PAC donates to Chris Collins, who is under Federal indictment, as well as white supremacist Steve King. These toxic Congressmen get their money, while Google gets to pretend it never helped them. Kill it with fire.
Here's Twitter #PAC on August 24 giving $2,700 to Roger Wicker, the only U.S. Senator to vote against an amendment declaring that climate change is real. Wicker also voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. Twitter employees should demand answers. This is bullshit.
Here's Google giving $5000 to far-right Congressman Steve Scalise on July 20 (this is all from today's new FEC filings; don't confuse it with the awful stuff I've tweeted before). Scalise is the guy who runs that EYE OF THE TIGER PAC that gives to Steve King and Chris Collins
Here's Amazon and Microsoft donating to David Young, running in a super tight race in Iowa's 3rd district against Cindy Axne. If you work at these companies, realize they are doing as much as they can to keep Congress in Republican hands this fall.
If you work at Twitter, Salesforce, Microsoft, Amazon or Google and are angry at the political donations they make to the far right, you have the power to stop it! The PACs are small (especially at Twitter) and a big PR liability. Enough angry engineers could kill them for good.
You can also help by donating to and volunteering for these battleground House campaigns that don't take a dime of corporate PAC money, and will fight to get the practice banned once in Congress. secure.actblue.com/donate/great_s…
Here's Google giving a further $3,000 to Elise Stefanik on Sept. 30. Stefanik is a Republican in a very close race in upstate New York, and a member of the House Intelligence Committee. She had already received a large donation from Twitter PAC.
