I see- take the list of recommended shopping spots from Buy Blue and don't shop there.
Should not be a problem, I cannot afford most of those places anyway.
Here is a link to the companies that Buy Blue recommends you shop at-

Don't shop at theseLooked at the list...not a problem. They really don't have much on the list, do they? A couple of surprises--Southwest Airlines. I can't avoid them since they're the main airline out of town. Fry's Electronics is a big surprise--those guys are the epitome of capitalism. They make Wal*Mart look like pikers.

Now... I do agree with using the free market to make a statement, and supporting those companies that support freedom, and refusing to buy from those that are sympathetic to the democraps. BUT.....
Levi Strauss, Sonic, and Subway are on there. hhhmmmm .. I can cut back on Sonic and Subway (it will be tough)... but they can have my levi jeans when the pull them off my cold dead buttocks. It will take more than making the buyblue list for that one. If Cindy Sheehan did a tv spot for them... that may convince me to switch to .... uuuu It may cause me to buy ... uuuu ... (does anyone else make pants?)

Southwest Airlines...I think this list is based on much more than political contributions.."Blue" is deceptive.
$47,210 to Democrats
$219,290 to Republicans
$0 to Others
$266,500 in Total Contributions
