PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Steele is Neutral . The camera pans across a bucolic river and a sunny cornfield  an American flag flapping in the breeze  as narrator Michael Steele extols the freedom to dream and achieve. Then  with the Statue of Liberty sweeping into the shot  comes a dire warning that freedom is fragile: Democrats  he says  are "experimenting with America."
The camera zooms in on a bespectacled Steele  who asks viewers for donations. "Our freedom " he says with a smile. "It's worth fighting for."
The television advertisement  which aired in selected markets last month  is vintage Steele _ affable  charismatic and seizing the spotlight. But the ad's star is not running for anything. He's the chairman of the Republican National Committee  with a mandate to promote his party rather than himself.
Steele has put a public face on what had been largely a behind-the-scenes job  hoping to foster what he has called a "hip-hop" Republican renaissance. That high profile has been accompanied by a record of lavish spending and a string of gaffes  leading some party activists to complain that Steele revels in the perks of the office while neglecting some of the onerous work necessary to reclaim majorities in the House and Senate. This narrative grew more damaging last week with the disclosure that RNC staffers approved a $1 900 bill at a Hollywood nightclub that features topless dancers mimicking lesbian sex acts while wearing bondage gear.
Still there have been no calls for Steele's ouster  and some top Republicans have calculated that there is no upside in forcing out the first black chairman of a party largely dominated by white Southerners _ especially not while the GOP is winning under his watch. Steele claimed credit for recent Republican victories in Massachusetts  Virginia and New Jersey  telling reporters in January: "I won two governorships and a host of special elections."
Some Republicans question Steele's contribution to the party's recent successes. Nevertheless  "To the victor go the spoils " said Ron Kaufman  a former RNC chairman who worked against Steele in the leadership race. "Is the party better off today than the day Michael Steele got elected? It's very hard to say no  on almost every level. ... The bottom line is the coach gets the credit. They're paid to win  and we're winning."
To understand how this one-term lieutenant governor from Maryland became his party's national chairman  go back to the day he was selected  Jan. 30  2009. It was one week after Obama's historic inauguration  and many in the Republican Party were demoralized and seeking new direction.
In a crowded field of candidates for the chairmanship  Steele stood out _ a 6-foot-4  dapper  television-friendly former politician who spoke eloquently of expanding the party's base to include more blacks and Latinos. He offered a break with history as the first African American chairman of what he referred to over and over again as the "party of Lincoln."
"The party has really wallowed in the sewers of racial politics in the country " said NAACP President Ben Jealous  a longtime Steele friend. "Mike Steele is their chance to get back on higher ground."
Steele was distrustful of the staff he inherited and the Beltway strategists who cycled through the committee. "When they drink that Potomac River water a while  it changes them  and Michael has tried never to drink that water " said John Kane  a close friend who ran the Maryland Republican Party when Steele was lieutenant governor.
So less than a week after his election  Steele asked each staffer to submit a resignation letter. They were told the chairman would decide who could stay  former aides recalled. He let dozens go.
In his early months  Steele  who had been a Fox News Channel commentator  gave several interviews that led to damaging blunders. On CNN  Steele dismissed Rush Limbaugh  a popular voice for the right  as an "entertainer" and said Limbaugh's radio talk show can be "incendiary" and "ugly." He told GQ magazine that abortion was "an individual choice " going against his party's antiabortion platform.
Meanwhile  he was making cosmetic changes to the party operation. Steele disliked the dark-wood furnishings in his office  telling GQ it was "way too male for me." So he had the RNC spend $18 500 on a new wooden desk  armchairs  a couch and art for the walls  according to aides.
When Steele hit the road to meet local volunteers and operatives  he often brought a photographer to document it all. At party headquarters in Washington  the hallways were decorated with jumbo-size pictures of Steele shaking hands.
Steele declined several requests for interviews for this story because he believes he has received unfair scrutiny from The Washington Post dating to his political career in Maryland  his spokesman Doug Heye said. "Profile after profile after profile by The Washington Post that almost borders on stalking " Heye said. "At a certain point you just stop taking it seriously."
This report is based on Steele's public comments and interviews with more than three dozen RNC members  donors  party strategists and state officials  as well as Steele's friends  political opponents and current and former aides. They portrayed a complex man who  like most people  is a combination of traits  not 100 percent an industrious political strategist or a feckless self-promoter.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cullen Schwarz is Positive . DoneGood  which is a certified B Corp  launched a similar browser extension and app last year  alerting shoppers to ethical alternatives while they browse on any ecommerce site. But according to  cofounder Cullen Schwarz   the company always planned to launch its own destination website  where users could search through hundreds of mission-driven brands in one place.
"Our goal is to make it really  really easy for people to find the brands that are making great stuff and making the world better at the same time "  he  said.
 Schwarz  likens the new site to an "Amazon of the social impact economy " or a "Kayak of the social impact space." DoneGood partners with more than 250 companies whose business models have a demonstrated social or environmental impact. That means you won't find brands giving 1 percent of profits to charity  or just touting a one-for-one giveaway model.
"We're looking for companies that are making the world better through their everyday business practices. If a company doesn't pay workers well or has sub-par environmental practices  but gives to charity  we donât partner with that business  " Schwarz  said.
"One of the best parts of our jobs is talking to all these people who started brands that have a social mission and arenât just out to make a profit ... They're working to prove that businesses can be successful and be a force for good in the world at the same time "  Schwarz  said.
In spite of the stress and consumerism that Black Friday ushers in every year   Schwarz  hopes the shopping site â along with the existing Chrome extension and app â can be bring together all the good parts of the holidays. These products make more unique and meaningful gifts   he  explained  and there's also a slew of discounts.
 Schwarz  isn't just talking the talk.  He  and the DoneGood team are a part of a new initiative called Shop for Good Sunday  which fills the gap on the Sunday in the middle of Black Friday  Small Business Saturday  Cyber Monday  and Giving Tuesday.
Since it launched on Cyber Monday 2016  DoneGood has raised more than $750 000 in funding so far  including contest winnings from Harvard and MIT  according to  Schwarz .
 He  said the response over the past year  from both users and brands  has been amazing. Multiple companies ask to join DoneGood every week  and users often suggest companies to add to the platform.
"Most people want to know that their money is supporting things they believe in. It's just always been really hard and time-consuming to find companies that you know are doing good for the world. We work to make it easy. The easier we can make it  the more often more people can join in  and the bigger the impact we all have together "  Schwarz  said.
