Responsibility and Consumerism
Most businesses making campaign donations do so pretty much equally between Democrats and Republicans. Others are more partisan. Buy Blue can help you direct your consumer impulses into socially-directed purchases. Why buy from a company which will only use the money to promote a social agenda you don’t share? Instead, the Blue Christmas list will help you select retailers and so forth who put their money into the system more in line with your own preferences. Amazon, for example, put 61% of its donations into GOP coffers, while Barnes & Noble gave 98% of theirs to the Democrats. (And Borders went them 2% better, with 100% of their money going to the DNC.) You don’t even have to mount an actual boycott, well, unless you want to fly somewhere not serviced by JetBlue, or can’t gas up at Phoenix Oil & Gas service stations. Nothing’s foolproof.
