Why is California so determined to brainwash people in Georgia with their money?
Election finance reports reveal the Democrats running for Senate in Georgia are getting way more money from California than they get from their home state.
Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have received a boost from Silicon Valley during their campaigns for Senate because companies like Apple and Amazon are at the top of the lists for sources of donations to their campaigns.
Aggregated data from the Center for Responsive Politics showed that Ossoff received nearly $952,685 from people associated with Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, $295,794 from Apple, $275,864 from Microsoft, $225,313 from Facebook and $255,115 from Amazon.
Those five companies comprised five of Ossoff's top six donation sources. The University of Calfornia was the exception at number two. The same was true for Warnock who received $747,340 from Alphabet, $392,942 from the University of California, $233,187 from Apple, $222,348 from Amazon and $174,394 from Facebook.
Wow! That's a lotta money from Californians trying to change and control Georgia.
But wait! There's more!
With the help of Federal Election Commission filings, we found the obvious ... lots of stars digging deep for the Democrats, and Republicans ... well, hardly a drop.
