7. Thanks...looks like SC Johnson is as evil as Koch!!! nt

[KamaAina]

24. Aauugggh! Just bought Johnsonville yesterday.

It was on special at the store, as it is every few weeks. :(

Thank goodness most of those beers (except Pilsner Urquell :( ) are, as Canadians say, like having sex in a canoe (because they're fucking close to water :-) )!

8. Thanks...time to boycott SC Johnson, too...nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Yeah, I like that it is publicly visible even to non-members.

Too many times you click on a Facebook link and get only the sign up page.

[blondeatlast]

9. don't need to be on FB, just click the top link, then the link at FB. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. oh....duh. thanks.

[blondeatlast]

18. Didn't mean to be flip--several ppl were replying while I was. Apologies. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. No no no...I was being sincere, did not mean to sound the way you took it.

I meant MY duh, your info was helpful. I had no idea how to see a Facebook page without signing up.

You and I know each other better than that, I think, yes?:fistbump:

[blondeatlast]

22. True that--the limits of the net!

:hi:

[EFerrari]

2. Wouldn't it be easier to go after Koch --

people could hand out leaflets at Safeways all over the country? And the Kochs would HATE to be outed that way.

[femrap]

11. You probably couldn't hand out the leaflets

on Safeway property.

When I go to the grocery, I always stop in the paper products aisle and tell whoever is shopping there that: "Georgia Pacific products are horrible....they use skins of puppies and kittens in their products." It's my own little Whisper Campaign.

[EFerrari]

14. There are usually easements that are public property

and that Safeway (or any anchor) has no control over.

[femrap]

23. True....but

after trying to hand out leaflets in the past, you'd be surprised at how few sidewalks there are. I hadn't realized this...then I thought that Corporations may just have planned it this way. You basically have to stand in the street.

And if the manager of a Corporation calls the cops, guess who is 'wrong.' And most cops don't like having to push the 'little person,' but that's fascism for ya.

[EFerrari]

25. Oh, I hear you. Grew up in suburbia and if you're not in your home,

in a store or in your car in between, you're in the "wrong" place. And it can't be accident. We're only valuable when we're consuming or being taxed. lol

There were some rulings about malls/public space/leafleting about two or three years ago that seemed to go our way. I'd have to go find them to figure out if it was CA or what.

And there's another fight that's on, reclaiming the commons.

5. Quote by Cesar Chavz - pass it around:

‎"The consumer boycott is the only open door in the dark corridor of nothingness down which farm workers have had to walk for many years. It is a gate of hope through which they expect to find the sunlight of a better life for themselves and their families." ~ Cesar Chavez

[BlueIris]

10. Thanks! nt

[Myrina]

12. Sure, help 'em by costing 'em more jobs ... WTF?

... if the companies' profits go south because of a boycott, it's not the Execs that are going to take pay cuts or get laid off ... it's the working folk who just got screwed already thank ya' very much.

JESUS PEOPLE, THINK!!!!!

[Cleita]

16. Oh, don't be a drama queen.

If they go south maybe it's a good thing. You still will have to buy toilet paper. What if you bought it from another company? That company will have to expand operations to meet demand and that will create jobs that can be filled by those laid off from the Koch brother companys. Other companies will come in to fill the void and create those jobs. It's old fashioned supply and demand.

[Cleita]

13. One thing you can do is shop at Trader Joe's for your

groceries if you have one close to you. TJ's carries mostly off brands and hardly any of the big corporate brands. Much of the fresh food is locally grown. As a bonus, I have found that my TJ's grocery bills are less than shopping at any of the big supermarkets even with all their coupons and rewards cards thrown in for the same groceries.

Trader Joe's is also a progressive company that is not publicly traded on the stock market. http://www.traderjoes.com/about/general-faq.asp

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Waiting for the day when TJ moves into Southern markets.

[orwell]

19. I don't use one of those products...

...and haven't for years.

Sometimes being an environmentalist holds hidden virtue...

The most important vote you hold make is the one you make everyday with your wallet.

[IcyPeas]

21. oh noes.., I use Angel Soft toilet paper.... but

somehow that seems appropriate.

[HighLowRoller87]

26. One thing I've learned about brand products......

If you take SC Johnson and a store brand and compare the two, the majority of that product have the same exact ingredients. The only difference is the name and the price. It's sad that a lot of people I know who are in my age range 20-25 years will buy the name brand over the store brand.....because it's name brand. Pathetically sad. I am more than happy than to not buy Brawny or Glade. Wanted to get one of those automatic fresheners but this is WAY MORE important. Let's do this!! :)
