384. A thought
I am 100% behind this idea, however I am left with a question or two, so please bear with me.

I think that if this idea gathers momentum and eventually some press, repugs will probably boycott businesses that support the dems and or increase their spending at repug owned businesses.

With less of our liberal $$ being spent, the economy will most likely contract. Wouldn't they just love to blame us for job losses that occur whilst Bush is in the WH. I can just see them now, spinning away about how those 'radicals' are to blame for the poor economy, to a media that has become a corporate mouthpiece. Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with this?

Also, I am disappointed with the dems at the moment (as I suspect are others). How do we use this action to hold their feet to the fire? I would like them to be held accountable also and not just become further beholdent to the corporate interests that support them. How do we get that message across to them?

Thanks,

Mary.
