Dear Friends:

Here is the list of donations in the six-figures made by Bill Gates in Washington State. I have not included his other state donations simply because there were so many of them it would have made for an endless post.

The Washington State data on Gates' donations came from http://www.pdc.wa.gov/searchdatabase/.

After the state donations, I've listed Gates most recent contributions to federal candidates, as made available by www.tray.com.

So what are the gays going to do in response Microsoft's crappy (in)action against us and the defeat of the pro-gay measure in the Evergreen State?
