i looked at this map and it looks like there's more purple, and surprisingly blue!, counties in your state than i would have imagined.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... now even though i may be working on boycotts, i want also to work on patronage. i see that there's much potential in some counties in Arkansas. but i, being an outsider, am at a loss for local information. this is where you come in.
1. what are the names, resources, needs of these counties?
2. anyone know any progressive companies in these counties that do mail-order business?
it would really help me -- i'm thinking of promoting these businesses amongst us to improve their strength. from wild rice, to handcrafted christmas tree ornaments, i want to know some good companies we can spend our dollar on.
Help me, a californian, help you, Arkansans, to help ourselves. we are one people now, even if we be blue like smurfs.
ps: forgive the cut n' paste, i'm in a bit of a rush, i want to get your info ASAP. holiday season is coming up and a huge opportunity awaits for the rest of the nation to help these communities.
