Republican Enter Amway
It wasn’t until 1990, when the Amway organization first became a major contributor to the republican Party (GOP) and to the election campaigns of various GOP candidates. In 1994, Amway and its sales force contributed a substantial amount of money to the political campaign. Around $669,525 to the Republican congresswoman and Amway distributor Sue Myrick. Mother Jones magazine, a liberal news organization, written two reports about Amway distributor Dexter Yager “used the company’s extensive voice-mail system to rally hundreds of Amway distributors into giving a total of $295,871” to Myrick’s campaign by the magazine, a campaign staffer quoted that Myrick had appeared regularly on the Amway circuit, speaking at hundreds of rallies and selling $5 and $10 audio-cds. By the 1994 election, Myrick had “close ties to Amway and Yager”, and do to that Myrick, raised $100,000 from Amway sources, “mostly through fundraisers at the homes of big distributors.”
Religions And Amway
Why did Amway, get involve with the religion part anyway? And how did they. In my opinion I think the Amway organization never heard the phrase don’t mix business with religion. Amway wasn’t just supporting religions, it was more like they were pushing the Christian ideology into its members. Mother Jones magazine described the Amway distributor force as "heavily influenced by the company's dual themes of Christian morality and free enterprise" and operating "like a private political army.” For the most part this is one the reasons why some people regard Amway as being a cult. “The language used in motivational tools for Amway frequently echoes or directly quotes the Bible, with the unstated assumption of a shared Christian perspective.” stated Maryam Hernein.
