about the political leanings of corporations they buy products from.”
Jeff Buchanan, Xconomy

What We Are About
Our app is about bringing more accountability and transparency to our political process. According to Congress and our Supreme Court, corporations are people. We hope that if enough citizens use our app when deciding what to purchase, more corporations will be incentivized to get out of politics. We see this as a way to give real people a louder voice.
How We Vet The Political Donations
Our team has spent thousands of hours vetting companies’ political donations with the tools available to us, and we’ll continue refining our data to ensure our results are as accurate as possible. So far, we’ve focused on organizations’ spending in federal elections, and our next step will be to vet state expenditures.

Seems biased to me

So if I understand this correctly you give companies that donate to the Republican Party a lower score.
Spam after registering

Extremely disappointed that I began receiving spam emails within a few minutes of registering.
Revolutionary Awareness!!!
legacyendeavors
Thanks so much for this wonderful gift & outstanding service for educating me and my family on where we are spending our hard earned CASH! This really makes a huge difference as we can definitely vote for businesses which support our commitment to social justice issues and community service... We must make sure that our dollars impact equality equity and a level playing field for everyone across the board! Rich politicians must be held accountable and embrace paying their fair share!!!
Awesome App!!

Telling all my family and friends about this amazing app, no longer spending my hard earned dollars in places that choose to donate to the Republicans!!
Extremely biased
dontbothetwiththis
I will be dumping this app. Perhaps the rating is so high because people who are looking for unbiased info won’t hang around long enough to write a review.
Where can I find what the numbers mean?
laura dolen
I can’t seem to find what the plus and minus numerals mean. I don’t understand the ratings system next to the brand names. Where can I find a simple description to help me decipher the numerical ratings?
My money matters

So grateful for the app Goods Unite Us. Have shared it with friends and colleagues who also understand that where we spend/invest our money either actively supports our values or unintentionally helps rips the heart and soul out of society.
I’m voting with my dollar
Cobybeach
I love Goods. It’s never been so Important to me that I’m not funding companies who choose to fund corporations or call me names behind my back. I think Home Depot was a great example for me. When because I was in the party that believes in equality, environmental concerns (regulations) climate change, and most of all honesty get called a libtard by the CEO, I walked away. Getting used to Lowe’s, but would like to see more blue companies found.
Campaign Finance Ranking is a Joke
Bgeeezie
Companies with all or the majority of donations to the Dems campaigns are ranked better than companies whose donations are all or primarily to the Republican campaign trail. I wonder if the app is showing its own bias in any way??? But it was helpful too see what companies donate to which parties. So I gave you a star!
