Zinn, Sheehan, and certain DU members endorse ExxonMobile War Boycott
CINDY SHEEHAN, HOWARD ZINN AMONG NOTED LEADERS FOR PEACE ENDORSING THE EXXONMOBIL WAR BOYCOTT

The ExxonMobil War Boycott campaign announces endorsements by Cindy
Sheehan, Howard Zinn, and a host of internationally known activists
and writers, with support from national and regional peace and
justice organizations. (The full list of endorsers is given below.)

Consumers for Peace launched the boycott campaign on December
29, 2005, seeking an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops and
mercenaries from Iraq and the impeachment of George W. Bush and
prosecution of U.S. officials responsible for war crimes and crimes
against humanity.

The campaign urges consumers to boycott of ExxonMobil products

Iraq in particular, and its power to help change these policies....

darkened their door since the disaster in Alaska, which by the way they have not paid for. I go to a Citgo in Louisville when I am in the vicinity. I wish there were more. I will also look for Shell if it is confirmed that they support democrats. On edit I support the boycott of ExxonMobil.
