Ketchup Funds
While Kerry may have access to his wife's millions, he apparently doesn't get any funding from the Heinz corp.
A look at the company's campaign donations shows a preference for Republicans. In the past six years, the Heinz company's political action committee gave more than $64,000 to Republican candidates, nearly three times the amount given to Democrats. It contributed $5,000 to Mr. Bush's campaign. It has shunned the Kerry campaign, but the PAC gave $5,000 to the Massachusetts Democratic Party.
So if you like Heinz ketchup, it's ok. You're not really funding the Kerry campaign if you buy it. Well, except for the fact that Mrs. Kerry still owns about $4M in the company stock....a mere drop in the bucket.
Don't you feel better now?
