A number of corporations say they will no longer support politicians who backed President Trump's false claims of election fraud. Kansas City's Hallmark is going on step further -- it wants its money back.
HALLPAC -- Hallmark's political action committee said in a statement "Hallmark believes the peaceful transition of power is part of the bedrock of our democratic system, and we abhor violence of any kind."
The recent actions of Senators Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall do not reflect our company's values. As a result, HALLPAC requested Senators Hawley and Marshall to return all HALLPAC campaign contributions.
Hallmark’s political action committee generally spends between $50,000 and $60,000 annually on campaign activities, with donations divided nearly evenly between Republican and Democratic candidates.
Commerce Bank, another Kansas City-based company, announced Monday it also would suspend donations to any members of Congress who opposed recognizing Biden’s victory.

Not very big spenders there at Hallmark.
Response “KMA”
That’s what I would do if I ran a business selling to consumers is piss half of them off.
Let’s see how much they threw at BLM during the ‘peaceful protests’ as protection money. Or other leftist organizations that are masquerading as peaceful.
Or, go suck eggs!
Not good enough, Hallmark. Now you must take that money and give it to BLM.
ROFL
MAO
POW er...economic...use it.
I wonder if making gay Christmas movies makes up for that somewhat?
Do they get to keep the tax deduction?
I guess that they want to make sure they can still print greeting cards on paper. Yeah, that's the ticket. Paper is made from wood pulp. Wood pulp comes from trees. Tree hugging politicians want to get rid of greeting cards because they kill trees.
Bull shit. They want politicians to enact legislation and regulations that give them an advantage over their competitors.
Just another woke company that I shall never send my business.
Well, Hallmark doesn’t reflect MY values so I didn’t watch a single movie at Christmas (which I had previously done for years), nor buying any Hallmark cards - other members of the family not buying Hallmark either.
I looked for a ‘Sorry you have Ass Hurt’ card....... did not find it.
Is there a comprehensive list of these spineless, anti-first amendment companies?
Nope.
I would ‘offer’ to return the money as long as they agree to stick it where the moon doesn’t shine. When they refuse give it back anyway.
“Kansas City’s Hallmark is going on step further — it wants its money back. HALLPAC”
And I demand Hallmark give back to me every penny that was ever spend by my family for their sappy cards.
Worthless.
“Is there a comprehensive list of these spineless, anti-first amendment companies?”
I’ve seen one on FR IIRC...or maybe thedonald.win
Hallmark’s biggest donation in 2020 - “Amen and awoman” douche
