http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/food/trump-taco-bell-campaign-donationAccording to Open Secrets, the defenders of Fourth Meal have donated to campaigns as far back as 1998. And while they have always given more to Republicans than to Democrats, things became quite lopsided starting in 2010. That year coincided with both the Citizens United decision, which decimated campaign contribution limits, and the rise of the tea party. While one could argue this was a coincidence, that argument seems like its based on logic as authentic as the meat in a Crunch Wrap Supreme. In 2008 TACO PAC donated a total of $24,500 to political candidates$20,000 to Republicans, $4,500 to Democrats. In 2010, in an off-year election no less, it donated a total of $299,250 to candidates$293,250 to Republicans, $6,000 to Democrats. Thats a lot of money to protect Americas fast food tacos.
So far this year, TACO PAC has donated $53,625 to Republicans and $3,500 to Democrats. And while in absolute dollars it has only given the relatively small sum of $5,000 to Donald Trumps campaign, that does place it in elite company: Only four other committees have donated that much to the campaign according Insidegov. Thats nice for Trump, especially considering he has shown clear preference for other fast food franchises.......

Thanks @pazcantina for helping @AZDemParty @HillaryforAZ VR drive today #GOTV #AZVotes #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner
Thank you Paz Cantina!
Wish I could locate photos of the rest of their classy Taco Truck. I found they have a restaurant, video, plus online ordering and truck locator (hint, hint you AZ Dems). Here's the exterior courtyard of Taqueria Paz Cantina:

(267 posts)This is why get my burrito carnitas con frijoles at La Montana (carniceria on hwy 92). Its basically a smoked pulled pork filled burrito. BBQ & burrito? USA! USA! USA! they scatter the pork on the grill too- does Tacobell even have a grill?
Everyone say it with me: fake bland(sic) monolithic corporations support fake blonde candidates who believe in fake mythological America!
