Glad you found us! According to a USAToday story today, 98 percent of the political contributions of GOOGLE staff went to Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (UPI)—Employees of U.S.-based search engine Google gave $207,650 to federal candidates for the 2004 elections—virtually all of it to Democrats.
A USA Today analysis published Monday indicated 98 percent of the money went to Democrats, the most-lopsided giving of any of the top tech company donors.
Microsoft was the biggest tech donor, with its political action committee contributing $3.1 million last year, 60 percent to Democrats.
Overall, 53 percent of high-tech industry contributions went to Democrats, said the liberal Center for Responsive Politics, a group that tracks campaign spending and contributions.
Republicans must work hard to win support from a company whose employees seem philosophically wed to Democrats, CRP’s Larry Noble said.
Google declined to discuss employee campaign contributions but the among the company’s top 2004 givers was Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt, whose biggest single donation was $25,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Democrats raised more money in 2004 than Republicans, to fight the last election. Plus they had most old mainstream media, and Hollywood, and college professors, and school teachers on side. And Carolyn Parrish.
