The guy who really does run the H.J. Heinz company is William R. Johnson, Chairman and CEO. Here are his contributions, according to the FEC. This is the guy you are out to "get":

Thanks for doing the research and publishing it. I stand corrected on my "boycott" position.

By the way, I don't boycott products just because they are RATs. They have the right to their opinion and politics as individuals in a free and civilized society. I boycott products where I feel my own money is being used against me in an activist way. For example: Joe Schmoe, CEO of a corporation gives $2,000 to the RATs...no problem. Joe Schmoe announces that he and the rest of his board have each donated $100K to "Joint Victory Campaign 2004" or "moveon.org"....big problem and I won't buy their products any more.

So do I. For many years I would not buy Ben & Jerry's ice cream, because to do so was to fund every stupid liberal cause there was. Near as I can tell from poking around at it, this is not one of those cases. It's a case of mistaken identity.
