| Mormon-owned businesses to shun in honor of Prop. 8: |
 |
You want to get these bigoted fuckers' attention? Hit 'em where it hurts - right in the wallet!
Black & Decker
Sky West
La Quinta
Franklin-Covey
American Express
Iomega
Hunstsman Chemical
Oakley
priceline.com
Albertsons
Nu Skin
Marriot
Jet Blue
Novell
Bain Capital
Dell
Let them know that this is the last time we allow the Church of Moron to tell us who can and can't get married, or who does and doesn't get civil rights!

Bain Capital is Romney's old firm, they are Corporate Raiders. |
