Yes, there is a website for everything...including finding out if companies you spend your money with are helping to elect politicians who support or oppose you or your causes.
Shopyourpolitics.com allows visitors to search by business type, or company name. and see how much money they and their PAC's have sent to political parties.Only one company with Alabama in its name shows up...Alabama Power, which is listed as squarely in the Republican camp.
Coke or Pepsi? It doesn't matter...they're both on the Right/GOP Side of the aisle.
CBS or ABC or NBC? The only TV Network listed is NBC, and they are clearly Democrat, as are most of the entertainment companies. Clear Channel Radio is listed as Republican.
Some of the listings seem self-evident...Cracker Barrel is 90% Republican (despite their decision to remove Duck Dynasty stuff from their merchandise) (whoops---I spoke too soon. They reversed themselves within 14 hours!) while COSCO is 96% Democrat.
Other seem to counter the public culture of the company...Target is 68% GOP, while News Corp (the Wall Street Journal people) is 58% Democratic.
The website information is fluid...updated all the time to reflect changes in political giving.
Cracker Barrel's food is Republican, too.
