http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... er=newsAug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- FedEx Corp., United Parcel Service Inc. and General Dynamics Corp. are among companies shifting campaign contributions to Democrats after years of favoring Republicans, federal records show. FedEx's political action committee contributed 58 percent of its money to Democrats in the first half of the year as it lobbies against a bill making it easier for the company's truck drivers to unionize, according to the Federal Election Commission. In the 2006 election, two-thirds of FedEx's PAC donations went to Republicans in their unsuccessful bid to keep congressional control.
