Companies that give money to Speaker Dennis Hastert.

I just wanted to let everyone see who gives money to Speaker Dennis Hastert in case they want to stem the excessive corporate influence over legislation and perhaps people can band together and make legislative demands of these companies under threat of economic boycott.

3. Im really surprised there is a couple unions on that list

but not really I guess..There is a bit of corruption in both unions listed and they contributed to cover their bad deeds..its their protection money...One union President was about to be charged with insider trading until he bellied up to Bush

[INdemo]

4. Where did you find this list at?
