UPDATE: Dow (@DowNewsroom), the massive chemical company, tells me it will not donate to any member of Congress that objected to the certification of the presidential vote
This is not a pause. The company won't donate to these Republicans ever again.

Since 2014, Dow's PAC donated $1.4 million to Republicans and 396K to Democrats. This is not a company that is pandering to liberals. But it's drawing the line at the subversion of Democracy.

UPDATE: Dow sent a new statement, clarifying that the suspension lasts for the members' CURRENT term in office. The new statement leaves open the possibility that they will resume donations if these members are reelectedpic.twitter.com/QbebNoo7AZ

Companies lie so just keep track of companies saying this and see what happens since some of these ppl already got re-elected to 6 year terms so have time to get more money.

It also says until their respective term in office ends. The next election brings on a new term. Semantics provide for loopholes and lack of accountability

THAT’s what I’m talking about! If they are really doing this and it’s not just p.r.

It's just P.R. They'll donate to someone else like them behind closed doors. They just want to be out of sight, out of mind.
