INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT OF CORPORATIONS THAT SUPPORT BUSH
GUYS, If we could get this information that they rigged the elections in the U.S. again out to the rest of the world (as well as their distaste for the Arrogant Bush), maybe we can get a firestorm around the rest of the world and especially europe where they ARE with all of us!!! I say if we can get a HUGE list of all the corporations (and their subsidiaries) that supported Bush, that we could get an International Boycott of corporations that support Bush and the Republicans. That would FIGHT THEM AND BRING THEM DOWN and send a clear message to Republicans that we won't let them get away with this!!!

Find industry/company profiles and where the money goes to:

4. Stop feeding the Beast!
Hit 'em where it really hurts! Making money is like crack-cocaine to these greedy corporate fat cats. They live it, they breathe, and they will kill their own momma for an extra buck.

Spread the message to other foreign message boards around the world. We need to bring these bastards to their knees. They can't make us buy their products when we don't have to.

We may not control the White House,...
We may not control the House of Reps,...
Nor may control the Senate,...
But we DAMN well have control of how we spend our dollar.

5. We could start with Xmas
ONLY buy gifts from 2nd Hand and Thrift stores and locally owned mom and pop stores. Don't buy anything from the corporate stores! Don't buy corporate products.

Imagine if a large minority of the 50 million plus who voted for Kerry and the 80 million who boycotted the vote did the same!!

:nuke: bush

6. we don't have to buy anything...
These corporate freaks have commercialized the holidays. And who does it really benefit anyway? It only gets us deep in debt. And when we're in debt, we become slaves.

MY Christmas gift is to have a GLOBAL BREAKDOWN in which ALL people around the world STOP buying crap from these corporate freaks.

8. 'Global breakdown'
is always something to aim for.

It means war, famine, pestilence and death.

My favorite way to celebrate Christmas. :eyes:

11. THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL WORK
Bush co is about money. They want power only to get more money,
this is their Achilles heel.

14. MAKE IT WORK: SOME ADVISE TO THE BOYCOTT LEADERS

This is a great idea...

1. Its needs a BRANDED NATIONAL SLOGAN similiar to MADE IN AMERICA.... This can easily be put on front store signs...and stickers on cars etc.. It is essecntia this be a BRANDED LONG TERM MESSAGE for it to succeed and GAIN MOMENTUM>.>>THINK WE NEED TO COME TO THAT SOUND BITE THAT IS NEED....


2. Should be marketed to the the rest of the world once figured out, and we should tell foreign companies they will also be boycotted and risk being targetted too.

3. I definiately think with 50% of the electorate basically in disgust of Bush this could be a widely successfully campaign.

4. CONTACT Peter Fenn, the MAJOR PROGRESSIVE PR PRO, Telephone 202-337-6995 Fax 202-337-6997, 2715 M St. NW Suite 150 Washington, DC 20007 Democratic Political PR Firm. I THINK THIS WILL RESONATE VERY STRONGLY WITH HIM..... If you don't know Peter...you should.
