Todd -- Thanks for the information. I haven't done my homework on Clearwire, 
yet, and will make sure to tell my friends who will surely be cancelling or 
reconsidering signing up.

Mike -- Being ignorant about the extent which money influences the political 
process in this country is pretty logical, too. Maybe the employees of said 
company should have done their homework before they accepted the job offer. 
Supporting a company that clearly gives money to support a 
candidate/ideal/party looks like supporting the same, to me.

As for anyone else who'd like more hard proof, here's Craig O McCaw's results 
on opensecrets.org, as well as the list of his financial filings with the 
SCC:

http://www.secinfo.com/$/SEC/Name.asp?M=craig+o.+mccaw

which clearly show him as 'the' Craig McCaw involved with 'Eagle River 
Investments, LLC'. Max Cleland? Ted Stevens? Make your own judgement on 
whether or not you want to support them.

I highly reccommend everyone learn how to use opensecrets.org and look up some 
of your favorite companies (including your own), and their board members and 
directors. Since I don't post much (at all) here, and as not to start a cute 
flamewar, you can direct any replies to my Inbox.
