Edited on Mon Dec-25-06 10:40 AM by liberaldemocrat7
People have discussed not buying conflict diamonds because the profits go to murderers.

I don't buy conflict burgers and other restaurant food, conflict computers, conflict pharmacy products, conflict light bulbs, refrigerators, conflict gasoline, etc. because they help PACS of these companies help fund the Republican party which destroys lives of people here with their lack of regulation, efforts to destroy the new deal, the fair deal and the great society, and to retain power by initiating invasions to enamor enough idiots to their misleadership so they will vote for them again.

1. nice thought... but what do you buy (and where?)
That ole six degree of separation ends up being a lot closer when you look at most businesses, it seems...:shrug:

3. You buy from companies other than the major contributors.
Nothing ever appears perfect so you buy from companies other than the major contributors to the Republican party, which I list at http://www.dmocrats.org

4. ROFL!
:rofl:

J. Crew is blue, but their clothes are expensive and they have had some difficulties in the manufacturing department.

Heck, we could wear plastic bags to work, I guess, but then that is bad for the environment.

:shrug:

5. I don't list any clothes providers on my web site.
A person does not have to avoid every company that gives to the Republican party. Enough people in the tens of millions need to avoid the major companies that I list on my web site http://www.dmocrats.org and contact them and make progressive demands of them.

Even then you don't have to avoid every clothes provider, just the largest contributor to the Republican party and get millions of people to contact them and tell them why you don't buy from them and you won't buy from them until they get the Republicans to cooperate in getting progressive legislation passed in congress.

7. I had really nice, really tattered Brooks Brothers shirts...
and New Balance sneakers. But now New Balance only has their crappy shoes made in the US. And Brooks has theirs made overseas as well.

Bill's Khakis are expensive, but are really nice and made in the USofA.

12. God help you if you need to reside that place
What's on there now is still made, but the steel comes from Repuke contributors, or China, and the rollforming plants are the same way.

10. they segment us, why shouldn't we segment them
You've a real point there... with information technology, the left could
use some more list sites to help people put their money in to the parts of
the economy that are good wood... like 'progressive trader' labelling.

The traditional news media have failed to report on corproations in a way
that is useful, a website would pick up the slack beautifully.

11. I list the major Republican collaborators on my web site
and how you can actually get something from their CEOs or they lose our business.

See my signature. I have said this since 1998.

13. i clicked
.. on those links, and i did not find any list... (my fault surely, but can you give me a better link?)

The names and home addresses of all board members would be excellent.

Dover has a real point about direct action.

14. If you saw the page it most certainly had a list of companies and a way
to email them.
