I want “damn the expense” to actually be part of the wording.

I’m not familiar with most of what you’re talking about, but corporations cannot make donations to Federal candidates. When you see news articles that say that Boeing gave $1 million to Joe Smith, it means that many individuals employed by Boeing gave personal donations to that candidate, while complying with the laws regarding caps on individual contributions.
