It would have to be a state that relies on tourism. Some states have responded when sports teams boycott. We all just pick a state and agree to boycott it. While I hate to heap shit on Nevada it does seem like a state that would respond if a good percentage of us said we'd never spend any money there.
And we say we'll be moving on to others states after that.
Could it work? Could we do it? I feel so helpless and can't help thinking about what we can do.

If this was done maybe they would listen. We would also need to let the other top gun humping stated know that we can do all of that to them also.

2nd most friendly is Vermont (Sander's position makes more sense)
3rd is Alaska.
4th is Utah (I would say the outdoor retailers pulled out of Utah due to its unfriendly environmental shit and Utah let them so not sure boycott would work BUT the Mormon church hates publicity so if the church backs down, so goes the state)
5th is Kentucky.
