People to counter Monday's boycott by shopping and speaking up
People frustrated with pro-immigration rallies to counter-protest by shopping, speaking out.

CONCERNED: Sandra Sweet of Mission Viejo has planned a “pro-American” rally in Santa Ana for Monday. “I’m just a person who wants to go out there and be heard,” she says.

MISSION VIEJO - Sandra Sweet was 8 the last time she did anything political in public. She thinks

She has this vague memory of being a little girl when her father took her to a political rally in Washington, D.C., that involved the Vietnam War and something about "a march for victory."

So it's surprising that Sweet, 45, is organizing a "pro-American" rally in Santa Ana on Monday to counter what some are calling "the Great American Boycott." Armed with her e-mail address book – and a sense of alarm – Sweet is taking the first political action of her adult life.

1. Well, she's got the Bushbot Shopping Meme down pat.

When danger threatens, when terrorists act, when immigrants strike, Go Shopping!

That'll Fix Everything!

3. some people use credit cards properly & PAY THEIR bills

on time as agreed to in the contract one must sign to use a credit card. can you imagine it? people
who actually pay off their cards monthly instead of waiting for someone else to pay their bills for them?

5. Actually most people just run up more and more debt that they can't

afford...Thats why Congress passed the law not allowing people to declare bankruptcy on cc debt.....

8. Congress DID NOT pass a law declaring that one cannot be rid of

credit card debt.
One may still file Chapter 7, if you are at or below your respective State's median income.
If you meet the criteria, you can have debt (of ANY kind) absolved via Chapter 7.

9. Point is the laws against declaring chapter 7 will only get more

restrictive.....CC companies will demand it....

7. So? Does the Susan in the article sound like someone

who uses her card properly?

She's a true Patriot, ready to shop whenever her country needs her. :sarcasm:

6. Remember after the 2004 election there was a boycott/ wear black day?

People didn't shop. Now, I'll have to bite the bullet, wear white (BEFORE Memorial day ;) and enjoy not spending any money. It'll be hard work? Well, not by most people's standards.

10. Chances are that Susan would be shopping with or without a protest!
