My idea on a Boycott....Oil Products and MSM....Hear me out......
Most people are not going to give up their car or TV altogether, But what if we gave up 5% across the board.

One day without TV along with riding the bus?

1. We have been doing that for years and it works. What else
do you want me to do?

Real boycotts require a demand be made on the boycottee. What should our demand be on oil and the big corporate media?

Or do you want to do it just for fun and profit like many are doing already?


Here's a good upcoming boycott. The best thing anyone could do would be to stop by your local McDonalds and ask the manager to write a note for you asking the owner to agree to pay a couple a cents more a pound to be dedicated to the workers who pick their tomatoes.

Read all about their already succesfully concluded boycott against Taco Bell and there upcoming national boycott agaist McDonalds! -

2. Ongoing Campaigm! It must grow day by day. Person by person?
I thought about the idea of believing participents, putting a hammer through their TV screen and placing it in the front yard for all to see!
