Use NEIGHBOR SEARCH to find which local businesses gave $ to Bush
then boycott and let them know why.

I found out that a pest control company in my area was giving major bucks to Bush, so boycotting them. Also found a realtor who gave to Dems, hire him!

1. How do you determine businesses with that search?
Doesn't it just list individuals?

I was so impressed by the people writing substantial checks to the DNC and Howard Dean.

Where is the DNC btw? Anybody seen them since the election?

10. Me too ...
Eat-n-Park is a chain of family style restaurants usually open 24hrs. Perfect for brunch and late night grubbing. Some jerkoff from the Eat-n-Park hospitality group donated $25,000 ... guess I won't be eating there anymore.

4. I don't know about that
I'd feel like I'd be spying on them. If I already know (like they post signs, for example), then maybe, but I just don't want to be checking up on them this way. I know it's public information but I don't feel comfortable doing this.

7. Get over it.
Since we have no assurance that our votes will count, we'll have to "vote" with our dollars.

In my zip it runs 70K Repuke contributions vs 10K Democratic, and only 1 person gave the 2K max to Kerry, and 1 gave 2K to Edwards. A bunch gave the 2K max to Bush.

11. He donated more to the dems...
I wouldn't give them more business, but I wouldn't boycott them either. Frankly, I'm still pissed about the crappy ass steam cleaner I bought from them.

12. Great idea
Actually, though, it's not too hard to boycott Sharper Image, being they sell overpriced gadgets that nobody really needs, anyway! :P
