Progressive Pages- Need your feedback!

[fudge stripe cookays]

I just visited DancingBear's thread about wanting to come up with a directory of Repuke businesses to boycott and provide decent progressive alternatives for folks.

I'd like to help any way I can to compile this book.

Here's what I need from ya'll:

Give me the names and approximate locations of any local SD businesses you saw the last year or so with Bush/Cheney signs outside, behind the counters or in windows. Any "I support President Bush and our troops?" or anything equivalent?

Alternately, provide the names and approximate addresses of progressive or Democratic owned or Democratic-supporting businesses you can recommend instead.

Let us know about good AND bad experiences you've had patronizing good or bad businesses all over the state!

Thanks everybody!
Let's hear em!

1. Yankton business

Gosh, most Yankton businesses had either nothing up or Thune/Bush signs, along Broadway.

The Broadway Inn/Chateau lounge/restaurant had a very well placed
Tom Daschle sign up.

I would say for Democrats--Eat at the Chateau, stay at the Broadway Inn!

Let's start a state wide UDO (ultra Democratic organization)--

First elections December 2004! Yes, Democrats to be elected!

(Anyone can join the Yahoo group)

Thanks!

2. Thanks UDO!

It was remarkably quiet in this thread after I put it up! Nice to know we have some SDers paying attention!

3. This will work!

Yeah, anything to inspire Democrats to act like
"the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" !!!

My proposal is to have elections 6 times a year to
inspire people and show them how real ultra democracy
works!

(Granted these will be organization elections, not public elections, but it is an inspiring concept).

So far, no takers. I am hoping South Dakotans aren't waiting
for a billionaire like George Soros to give the thumbs up on this
idea! UDO can literally be started with a nickel, in any precinct or county in South Dakota!

Wait for the Sioux Falls leadership to wake up and smell the change?
No.

Why not assume that the best things that we can think of, CAN HAPPEN?

How about a Think Tank With Attitude, that was started with a few nickels, meets at taco places and Pizza ranches, that has elections every 2 months, and totally changes things in South Dakota?

I'm hoping it can start in South Dakota this year, and hopefully in other states, too.

The Democratic Party has been hijacked by Republican Lite.

The First Amendment protects our right to free speech and peacefulk assembly.

This is powerful, and allows UDO to exist and THRIVE!
