Conservative companies
The following is a non-exhaustive list of for-profit companies which generally support conservative principles, individuals, and/or organizations. This list is based primarily on official, corporate activity, but also based partially on the activities of employees, which are not sponsored by their companies. The companies are categorized of the extent of their support for, as well as opposition to, conservative causes.
An obvious source for the justification is recent news. Other major sources include 2ndVote, a research provider that scores companies from 5 (most conservative) to 1 (most liberal),[1][2] and OpenSecrets, an online database that tracks political donations in the U.S.[3]
Note that indicators of conservative interest can change suddenly. To get the most updated information, readers are encouraged to make sure the sources used reflect the companies' current status. If any inaccurate entries are found in this list, please update them!
