~*~*~waving wildly~*~*~*~ to get someone's attention

[Pacifist Patriot]

Hi!

Sorry about that, but I've asked this question a handful of times this week and it keeps getting buried before anyone can respond. Does anyone know where I can get a list of "red" companies to boycott and "blue" companies to support?

Thanks!

[Expat_Kristen]

1. I've wondered that too. Anyone?? n/t

[NMDemDist2]

2. i have seen this question several times and never got a definative

answer. It's a matter of looking up companies one by one

who do you shop with?

[liberalitch]

3. Well, this is what I have been doing.....

Trying to buy products that I know come from blue states...
Like rolling rock beer for example.... good and good for you!

[nannah]

12. thanks for that info. i'll reach for rolling rock next time

with that in mind, if you live in a blue state, than opt for locally produced rather than us or international, ie., food, apparel and decor, hygiene productss, cleaning supplies, etc.

one strategy is to support your local coop food store, regardless of your state's color.

use local services rather than franchise operations, unless they become identified as "blue".

4. try followyourmoney.com n/t

[The Doctor.]

5. Shoot- it's been posted, but I never copied the list.

I'm working on other stuff today, but maybe we can dig up something comprehensive and suggest it for homepage.

I try to get to it this week if no one else can.

19. Thanks for the list

There ought to be one big boycott organized. But it has to be covert like an underground resistance movement. The reason I say this is that I have seen DUers get sued for starting boycotts. Symbolman started the boycotts against Rush and Savage. He got sued. These companies have mean legal departments.

Having said this, I still support a boycott!

21. This list is based on where donors list as "employer"

to answer your question on US Gov. I think a better analysis would compare the amount donated to Democrats vs Republican and look at the difference... you only want to boycott companies that ONLY give or MOSTLY give to REpukes.

[glitch]

23. Actually - I want to boycott anybody who contributes to the repuke party

even if they are hedging their bets by contributing to both.

[cavanaghjam]

34. I agree

Any ideas on where to find a list of companies that contribute heavily to GOP while offering no or token support to Dems?

[ClassWarrior]

8. DancingBear and fudge stripe cookays are putting together a directory...

...right now. Visit your state forum and go to the thread entitled "Progressive Pages." You can help them to compile names.

[GinaMaria]

11. I think you could look up bush supporters

That should be a start for boycotts.

[liberalmuse]

13. We should start a list...

Blue Companies:

1. Ben & Jerry's
2. Apple Computers

Red companies/war profiteers:

1. Wal Mart
2. K mart
3. AT&T
4. General Mills

That's all I know...

15. I'll help with a kick and a couple of "common knowledge"

reds. Blues are harder to find as it seems when most (not all) owners become successful, their politics becomes more mepublican.

Carl's Jr. - they support forced pregnancy

Arby's - supported sinclair in it's recent broadcast of character assassination of Senator Kerry

Iams/Eukanuba Pet Food line - same re: sinclair

Curves - another which supports forced pregnancy

Domino's Pizza - former owner used huge bucks to force pregnancy on women and their families

Coors - long time anti-union multi-national with reputed ties to the Nazi party, also pays lip service to support GLBT rights in order to use it's wealth to suppress said rights.

Clear Channel - anti-everything-progressive

WalMart - anti-union, anti-women, anti-worker, anti, well, just anti

I'll post more if I think of them or find them.

[Chicago Democrat]

16. Depends on what are your issues?

Support Pro Dem companies....

Like Costco!

Support Good Labor Practices

Like Whole Foods, Costco and many others... but you have to research it.. I only shop in UNION food stores or ones with good labor practices...

NEVER BUY AT WALMART or SAMS CLUB

[TrueAmerican]

20. Should I boycott AAFES?

They are headquartered in Texas.

[fidgeting wildly]

24. I've been working on a list for myself.

Trying to research thoroughly--it's taking some time. Here's a good place to start: If you want to boycott "red" business, you pretty much have to give up eating at chain restaurants altogether. (And we should be doing that anyway b/c their food is shit.) Here's what I have in the restaurant category so far:

A&W; Big Bowl Asian Kitchen, Chili’s; Corner Bakery; Cracker Barrel; Dunkin’ Donuts; Hooters of America; KFC; Little Caesars Pizza; Logan’s Roadhouse; Long John Silvers; Maggiano’s Little Italy; McDonald’s; Mr. Gatti’s Pizza; Olive Garden; On the Border; Outback Steakhouse; Pizza Hut; Red Lobster; Rockfish; Romano’s Macaroni Grill; Taco Bell; Waffle House; Wendy’s.

Most of these are not overt Repub supporters themselves (although some are) but they are owned by parent companies who are major Rebub donors. The parent companies include Brinker International, YUM! Brands, Darden Restaurants, and CBRL Corp. Most of this information came from researching donors listed on the opensecrets.org site.

[hertopos]

25. This is what I am going to do and more or less many people will ...

do the same.

The outsource will catch speed very quickly and there will be less and less good - income generating professional jobs. In general, blue states are better off than red states; however, they will feel less secure about future and spend less and less. Since Bush has to raise the debt ceiling, the dollar will go down further against other major currency. There will be some friction between U.S. and emerging economy such as China and India since the currency eventually will become a serious issues.

No matter what media say, one thing is clear, the rage of blue states are so deep it can affect the economy. Other than boycotting very well known bloody red companies, such as Wal-Mart and Oil companies, just spend less.

In fact, except for kids, cut down Holiday spending for a start.

Hertopos

[cally]

26. It's confusing so I'll tell you my plan until I get more informed

I just bought stuff from American Apparel which uses no sweatshop labor. I went to the farmer's market for most of my food. I get most other food at the local market although I did hit safeway for some things. I'm buying from Target and Costco. I plan to hit several local crafts fairs. I know I broke the boycott on a few items, but this is a drastic change and I'm working on it.

We usually make many of our Christmas presents. This year we will make more of them.

[idiosyncratic]

27. I had to buy a new phone and I paid more to get one from a

company headquartered in a Blue State.

If I have to purchase something, that is where I'll start . . . I guess.

30. Here's a thread for you, with links to others:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=2600099&mesg_id=2600099

it links Dancingbear's thread and one in "activism and events" as well. Please add your thoughts and ideas!

[American Tragedy]

31. I question how it can be done effectively

I found the list of companies from boycottbush.net, as you have seen, but I have added products from their respective websites that were not listed on boycottbush. I chose to list everything in order to demonstrate the scale of this endeavor: this is what we are up against. I warn you, it is impossible for any consumer to conduct any approaching a full boycott. I advise that you employ it selectively and not try to campaign against more than a few of them simultaneously. Obviously prescriptive drugs are nearly unavoidable.

These are only the top 25 contributors to the Bush campaign; I will eventually investigate who funds the other reprehensible Republican politicians via opensecrets.net. I think it would be easier to conduct and publicize on a local level against our Congressmen and others.

33. cool, others are into the act. Here's my suggestion.

We can actively BOYCOTT certain red companies *while at the same time* SUPPORTING blue companies and here's my ideal plan at the moment.

Buy from blue companies from impoverished blue counties in the South and from distant blue companies in other blue states and use only United States Postal Service. This does several things:

1. It gives money to people who really need it, some of these blue counties in the south are really marginalized.

2. It gives you an alternative to avoid 'evil big businesses' (TM).

3. It gives you the voice to boycott UPS and FedEx, 2 major 'red' companies. 2 birds 1 stone.

4. It gives you a chance to enjoy the holiday season and not leave you in a depressed rut.

5. It gives an opportunity for unemployed/underemployed computer people to get work creating and maintaining the websites and ordering system for these local 'blue' companies in these 'untapped' markets.
