Boycott Amazon?
I have just found out that Amazon.com gave 60% of their donations last year (donations meant to be for charities and the like, I guess) to the Republican party. That means that I will probably delete (if that's possible) my Amazon wish list. I don't normally buy Amazon because I prefer "real" bookshops.
My reason to boycott Amazon is not that I am antiRepublican (I am, but that's another story) but that I don't like the idea of private funding oif political parties. Businesses shouldn't be giving money to political parties! it's not a question of "here we do things differently". How do we make sure that a government is not going to create policies that benefit their contributors? tell you how: we don't. In Europe that's called corruption.
By now all I will do is just mention it here so that readers can decide if they will continue buying Amazon or not.

Comentario:
where did you find that info? haven't heard anything like that, so would be interested in the source (or, really, in anything that described the distribution of their donations).
thanks,
