According to the Center for Responsive Politics, FedEx Corp is the 21st largest campaign contributer in the United States. They have contributed over $21,124,184 since 1990, 45% of which went to Democrats and 55% to Republicans. Strong ties to the White House and members of Congress allow a remarkable amount of access to international trade and tax cut debates as well as the rules of the business practices of the United States Postal Service. In 2001, FedEx sealed a deal with the USPS to deliver all of the post offices overnight and express deliveries.

The Teamsters Unions is one of the largest labor unions in the world, as well as the 11th largest campaign contributor in the United States [1]. Leaning extremely toward the Democrats, they have donated 92% of their $24,418,589 in contributions since 1990 to the party. Though the vast majority of their donations go to the Democrats, there has been a higher majority since President Bush took office. And though the union opposes Bush's agenda to open US highways to Mexican truckers, it largely supports Bush's platform for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
