A growing number of national companies heavily invested in political spending are distancing themselves or withdrawing support for members of Congress who voted last week to block the certification of President-Elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory. Some, like Facebook, Google and Microsoft, have announced plans to put all of their political donations on pause.
Others like Marriott, Blue Cross Blue Shield, AT&T, Hallmark, and more have announced plans to cut their funding to the members of Congress who voted to overturn the election.

ARCADIA, Wis. – Ashley Furniture Industries hosted a ceremony on Dec. 19 to commemorate the nationally recognized Wreaths Across America Day. This is the fifth year that Ashley has sponsored the event, held locally at Soldier s Walk in Memorial Park, located in Arcadia, Wisconsin.
Wreaths Across America is an annual event that honors and remembers veterans and active military men and women for their service. Its mission is to remember the fallen, honor those that serve and their families, and teach the next generation about the value of freedom. According to a news release, this year’s theme, “Be an American worth fighting for,” was inspired by Staff Sergeant Daniel Strong s keynote address, made during the 2018 escort to Arlington. An infantryman in the U.S. Marine Corps, Strong lost 18 Marines during his time in service, and saw firsthand the impact this true sacrifice had on all involved.
