If you do business in AL, you might not want the Senator to bear a grudge that you didn't back him in the election. That list seems to be heavy with defense contractors (remember that all IT companies deal with the military in some capacity), and one has corp. HQ in Huntsville.

Many large public corporations actually contribute to both sides to avoid a potentially hostile member of Congress if they don't pick the correct winner.
Try boycotting these companies.
Sucks, don't it?

Guess a sternly worded letter is going to have to do.
