According to an analysis released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Political Money Line campaign finance tracking service, the top-giving corporate political action committees (PACS) favored Republican candidates 10-to-1. See article: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/26/politics/main657844
One of the five most Republican-leaning corporate PACs during the 2004 election cycle was the PAC of Flowers Industries, a bakery company, based in Thomasville, Ga. The Flowers Industries PAC contributed all of their $131,500 to GOP candidates. Up until April 2003, Flowers Industries owned Mrs. Smith's Bakeries--famous for their frozen pies.
While you may be able to continue to enjoy your pumpkin pie without political guilt, here is the brands page for Flowers: http://www.flowersfoods.com/ourbrands.asp
Let's burn their toast.
