4. Other, related parties. For example: it doesn't take much for me to either cut my spending at or boycott a company that donates to Focus on the Family, because James Dobson is a piece of shit and Focus on the Family really is a hate group, and I've felt that way for years.

That said, I voted for "No one is holding these companies back but them." and I think you know why.
