From Brian's research:
Republians get practically no funding from unions and citizens’ advocacy groups--but
they more than make up for those gaps in money from corporations associated
with them. Here’s a few of the big ones:
The Top Five
AT&T funnelled more money into Republican campaigns than any other corporation during the 1999/2000 cycle. It made a total of $4,479,653 in soft-money donations, 62% of which went to Republican groups. Of that money, the majority went to the Republican National Committee--the branch of the GOP best able to funnel soft money into presidential campaigns. Verizon Communications made $2,874,921 in soft-money donations, 63% of which went to Republican groups. Philip Morris earmarked 79% of its $2,500,880 in soft-money for republican campaigns, and UPS contributed 76% of its $2,013,853.
Other large supporters include MBNA America Bank (82% if $2,193,550), Fedex (65% of $2,095,328), Enron (76% of $2,013,853--Enron also tops the Center for Public Integrity’s list of Bush’s career patrons), Merril Lynch (74% of $2,000,025), and Pfizer Inc, the makers of Zoloft and Viagra (84% of $1,810,572). Also of note: America OnLine--the nation’s largest Internet Service Provider (ISP)--leans Republican. AOL earmarked 56% of its $1,404,487 in soft money donations for republican groups.
Other Major Supporters
Green Mountain Energy/The Wyly Family
Green Mountain Energy (formerly GreenMountain.com) is majority owned by Texas’ Wyly Family, which made it it onto the Center for Public Integrity’s list of Bush’s top ten careen patrons. The brothers Sam Wyly and Charles Wyly gave over $200,000 to Bush’s gubernatorial campaigns. During the 99/00 election cycle, Sam Wyly, who sits on Green Mountain’s Board of Directors, gave $250,000 to the Republican National Committee [RNC]. During the primaries, he and his brother, Charles Wyly, personally funded $2.5 million worth of "issue" advertisements attacking Sen. John McCain’s environmental record and promoting Bush’s during the Republican primary (the ads seemed so well-orchestrated with Bush’s campaign that McCain’s campaign charged the Bush campaign had participated in planning them--which is illegal under campaign finance law). To top it all off, the Wyly brothers hosted Bush’s record-breaking $21.3 million fundraiser on April 26, 2000.
Sam Wyly is also Chairman and Director of the Michaels Stores chain, Sterling Software, Sterling Commerce, Scottish Annuity & Life Savings, and a founding partner of Maverick Capital.
As for Green Mountain Energy, which provides "green" electricity to environmentally-conscious consumers under utility deregulation: the company has drawn fire from GreenPeace, Public Citizen, and dozens of other groups on grounds ranging from deceiving its customers to polluting unnecessarily. According to such attacks, Green Mountain invests so little money in building and developing clean energy sources that, at best, it is merely "re-packaging" electricity that was already being generated and marking up the price. At worst, Green Mountain stands accused of using highly-polluting energy sources--most notably waste incinerators and landfill gas contaminated with toxic chemicals that form even more dangerous compounds when burnt--and then deceiving its customers about them. Throughout its existence, Green Mountain has lobbied for utility de-regulation that could weaken current environmental controls, and has publicly supported George Bush for his deregulation efforts in Texas. Already, several environmental groups (the Environmental Health Network and the Student Environmental Action Coalition, among others) have already called for a boycott (see www.boycottgreenmountain.com).
Amgen, Inc.
In the 1999/2000 election cycle, Amgen funnelled $333,250 (93% of its total soft-money giving) in soft money into republican campaigns, which brings it into the top ten bracket of Bush supporters both in the state of California and in the biotech sector. That figure includes a $100,000 donation to the RNC from Gordon M. Binder, CEO and and Chairman of Amgen’s Board of Directors. Amgen is the world’s largest independent biotech company, and holds several lucrative patents on drugs used to treat cancer and mitigate the effects of chemotherapy, such as Neupogen. Binder’s in a good position to profit from the so-called "cancer industry": in addition to being chair of Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), and serving on the Board of Directors for the Biotech Industry Organization, he sits on the boards of the Healthcare Leadership Council and the American Cancer Society. The latter two have drawn considerable fire from health activists for deflecting public attention and charitable giving away from cancer prevention (and mitigating environmental causes of cancer) to emphasize research and treatment--areas where companies like Amgen make their money
2nd set of research
Big Soft Money Supporters:
The ten corporations that funnelled the most soft money into Bush’s campaign, according to FEC data, are as follows: AT&T directed 62% of its $4,479,653 in soft money donations to Republican groups--of that amount, the vast majority went to the RNC, which traditionally uses its money to finance presidential campaigns. Seventy-six percent of UPS’s $2,662,994 in soft money went to Republican groups, along with a whopping 79% of Philip Morris’ $2,565,880. Verizon Wireless funneled 63% of $2,874,921 to Republican groups. MBNA America Bank put 82% of $2,193,550 into Republican campaigns. Enron, which made first place on The Center for Public Integrity’s top ten list of career-long Bush patrons, gave 76% of $2,015,853 to Republican warchests, mostly through the RNC. Merril Lynch devoted 74% of $2,000,025 to Republican groups. Pfizer Inc., the manufacturer of Zoloft and Viagra, diverted 84% of $1,810,572 to Republican campaigns. Bristol-Myers Squibb gave 84% of $1,751,442. Fedex gave 65% of $2,095,328.
Of course, FEC data on soft money doesn’t account for all the support a candidate gets--people can privately finance "issue advertisements" that lean havily towards one candidate without reporting their spending. And it certainly doesn’t account for the work some people do publicly supporting candidates (as in newspaper editorials by "business leaders") and using their personal networks to raise more funds. Here’s some of the others
Dell Computers executive Michael Dell has also played a big part in the Bush campaign. He’s personally donated $250,000 to the RNC, and his company’s given has swung heavily to Republican organizations--$353,000 vs $145,549 for Democratic groups. Dell has also been a very public supporter of Bush, lending his name to the campaign in several published letters and editorials.
Affinity Group, Inc chair Stephen Adams has, according to the Ventura County Star, invested $1 million in soft money in Bush’s campaign. Affinity’s main businesses are the Good Sam Club, which provides RV services, and Trailer Life magazine. *
Aurora Capital Partners chair Gerald Parsky, considered to be a likely candidate for U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in a Bush administration, has used his money, his time, and his status as a UC Regent to get Bush elected. He’s personally given $200,000 to the RNC, Aurora has donated $80,000 more; s California Director of Bush’s campaign, Parsky has accompanied Bush on several fundraising swings over the last year and a half (one, in the summer of 1999, raised $2 million; one in May of 2000 raised $4 million). Bush reportedly retained him to "penetrate the state’s vast network of campaign donors"--in July, Parsky drew fire for abusing his status as a UC regent after allegedly trading lurative contracts with the University for donations to the Bush campaign.
Ohio’s soft money favors Bush by a greater margin than in any other state: Bush held fundraisers at the homes of the state’s five richest individuals, who donated quite a bit themselves: Al Lerner, owner of the Cleveland Browns, gave $260,000 in soft money; The Limited founder Leslie H. Wexman gave over $500,000 (her company’s executives chipped in $260,000 more); Timken Inc.’s W.R. Timken Jr. gave, along with his family, a total of $400,000; the Dewitt & Reynolds investment firm’sWilliam O. Dewitt Jr. and Merer Reynolds III gave, along with their co-workers, a combined total of over $600,000.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, Bush’s big supporters include Cisco CEO John Chambers, who gave $310,000 in soft money; Charles R. Schwab of Charles Schwab Investments, who gave $270,000; and Leach Capital’s Howard Leach, also a UC Regent, who gave $120,000.

Early Important Bush Fundraisers (this list does not reflect all the
"Pioneer fundraisers" only the early ones)
This is a partial list of "Pioneer" volunteer fundraisers for Governor
Bush's presidential effort, as released by the campaign. A "pioneer"
has raised at least $100,000 (with limits of $1,000 from individuals and $5,000
from PACs) for the campaign. "
