What are voters saying about the Corporate Hall of Shame and their nominees?

“The economy crisis, the war in Iraq, and global warming-- challenges dominating the 2008 presidential campaigns-- are directly related to these corporate offenders. In their quest for profit, companies like Countrywide, Blackwater, and Toyota show blatant disrespect for the interest and well-being of the American people and the world at large.”

“If real human individuals behaved the way corporations do, they'd all be locked up in prisons or on funny farms!”

“ADM's rainforest destruction is linked to serious human rights abuses as well as global warming and environmental destruction. They're on top of my list this year!”

"Companies such as ADM need to have the spotlight put on them, because they are going 'under the radar!'  Well done Rainforest Action Network for bringing them into the limelight!"

“I wish you offered weighted votes. I would have voted for Blackwater three times.”

“I can think of no other company that has done more to tarnish the USA's already fragile reputation.”

“As bad as these other corporations are, I think that blasting gunfire indiscriminately at civilians in the regular course of one's business practice is about as bad as anybody can get.”

"Countrywide did me wrong when I bought my house."

“I voted for Countrywide because of their aggressive campaign to steal peoples fortunes and shatter families.”

“I am surprised to hear about Mattel. Our children are our future. I cannot understand a company that is interested in making a few bucks over heath!”

“It's so hard to choose, but I'd put Mattel on top for putting poisons right into the hands of babies, geez!”

“I will be a first time aunt this year and I want to be sure that my new niece/nephew gets a good healthy start in life.”

"Nestle gets my three votes without a moment's hesitation."

“Water is the planet's most valuable resource, thus Nestle is choice #1.”

“The power and manipulation that Nestle uses to influence its political goals is causing a collapse of the proper functions of democracy in small towns throughout America. They are bad for local economies as well causing damages to this planet.”

“Nestle is operating in my neighborhood (water bottling). Not only does this adversely effect the environment but they promised a positive effect on the economy and then offer temporary jobs with no benefits.”

“Nestle is shamefully buying up the water resources around the globe. Their intent is to privatize THE most important resource for human beings. It is unconscionable to think that water should be a commodity to buy and sell. It is absurd to privatize the most important resource for humans because each person on the planet has the right to clean drinkable water for their entire life.”

"I don't think this nomination needs any explanation...  They are supporting global warming, whilst cashing in onthe public's desire to do something positive for the environment. Disgusting!"

“I was really disappointed to read the IPS article about Toyota fighting clean air standards. I guess we've bought their PR line-- and three Toyotas. We'll research our purchases more carefully next time.”

“I never thought I would pick Toyota over Wal-Mart. L ”

“I was really surprised to read about Toyota's lobbying activities. I thought the company was a good ‘corporate citizen.’   I purchased my first Camry (new) in 1985 and have been buying them ever since. The news about Toyota's lobbying activities will certainly influence my next new car purchase.”

“Toyota brags about everything they do, but can back up very little of it. “

“Happy I did not buy the Toyota Prius after all!”

“My wife and I own a 2005 Prius (waited almost a year for it) that gets barely over 30 mpg and a 2007 Yaris that gets about 30 mpg. I fought long and hard with Toyota about the Prius and was told there is nothing wrong with it. There probably isn't, except it never runs on electric. By the time I back out of my garage it's running on gas.”

“We are a two Prius family (2002, 2005) so I am especially perturbed at the Toyota hypocrisy and therefore put Toyota on my list.”

“My parents are current employees of Wal-Mart. Because of my dad's diabetes, he is INELIGIBLE for benefits for 6 months. Then, his deductible is $5,000. Wal-Mart treats their employees worse than a normal person would treat their worst enemy.”

“I thought that Wendy’s eliminated trans fat from its fried foods two years ago! I feel duped!”
