At the federal level, Wal-Mart is already the No. 1 corporate
political contributor, giving $943,455 in the 2006 election cycle,
followed by General Electric's (GE, news, msgs) $788,711 and
Anheuser-Busch's (BUD, news, msgs) $671,644, according to the Center
for Responsive Politics, another nonpartisan watchdog.

Sounds like the big guys might have a say in it...
