We didn't renew ours when it came due. It was inconvenient to shop at the one near us. Now, I'm glad.

ISSAQUAH: Costco chairman, CEO give $95,000 each to defeat Bush
Bloomberg News
Costco Wholesale Corp. Chairman Jeffrey Brotman and CEO James Sinegal gave $95,000 each in December to a political fund that aims to defeat President Bush in the November election, records filed with the Internal Revenue Service show.
Brotman and Sinegal were among 25 people who gave a combined $7.9 million to the Joint Victory Campaign 2004 fund, which seeks to "change the course of the country away from the Bush administration's radical agenda" and elect "progressive" candidates, according to the fund's Web site.
The loss of 2 million jobs during the Bush administration, the decision to invade Iraq, and cuts in social programs led him to donate to the fund, said Sinegal of the Issaquah-based discount stores.

Oh they are TOAST. Almost everyone I know belongs to Costco. NOT ANYMORE.

Don't tear up your card! Costco will refund membership fees at any time if your are unhappy.
It would be much better to go tell them you are unhappy, tell them why, and ask for your refund. I'm sure they track the reasons why people are unhappy, and if enough people do this, it's bound to get noticed.

Aw GEEZ! That blows my feel-good at saving money.
Are there any large-scale discount stores that support Conservative/Republican causes and candidates?

This is disappointing. I've always enjoyed shopping there and associated Costco with an ethic of self-reliance, hardly a Democratic plank.

Oh dangitall.
I can't stand Wal-Mart so now what am I going to do??? This stinks.

suggested TEXT FOR A NOTE (EDIT as appropriate for your situation:)
PLEASE pass the word along to corporate that Mr. Brotman and Mr. Sinegal JUST LOST ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE BUSINESS WITH MY FAMILY.
I won't spend $95,000 per year in Costco-related purchases....but over time, I will. None of it will go to Costco.
You can also let them know President Bush is doing a fine job, and those of us who believe he is leading us in a war against terrorism believe he is a better Commander in Chief than any of his opponents.
Truly,

Well, if it's a personal contribution the guy has a perfect right to hold silly political opinions, but I gotta wonder at people who have coin sufficient to throw 95 large at a political campaign. And I have to thank Heaven and Mr. McCain for Campaign Finance Reform, protecting me from the monied interests.

Just moved to Cincinnati, OH and was actually going to join Costco this weekend. After this though, well, SAMS CLUB HERE I COME!!
Oh. And I was sure to email Costco to let them know too.
