For example:
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/hobby-lobby-stores/summary?id=D000051841

They have this disclaimer:

NOTE: "The organization itself did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate family members."

OK so the INDIVIDUAL SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, etc contributed to Project 2025's representatives. So what about this statement absolves the company? A company IS it's owners, supporters and managers, RIGHT?

Seems like weasel words to confuse the consumer and thwart a boycott.

I'm going to continue avoiding these companies unless someone has evidence that one or more of these companies did NOT contribute to the party that has wreaked havoc on this nation.
