They do work. They get attention and draw responses, and if persisted in can sway attitudes.

Any ideas?

Sure,

First you need a decent connection to the Internet.

Purchase a roku device if you don't have a Internet TV.

Some providers are: The Blaze, Netflix, Hula, Amazon prime, Rush Limbaugh, MLB and many, many others. There are some available free through Roku, including several streaming movie channels. You can check out what's available through roku at the link above.

I think boycotts do work, but it can take a herculean effort to organize... simply identifying the target(s) of the boycott and spreading the word thru social networks is not enough. Critical mass is getting millions motivated, and its costly, by any other name, its a campaign. The better effort is not just identify what you want to boycott, but also what you want to support. Example, I and many others refuse to watch any news channel other than Fox; its to Fox’s benefit and its to the profitability of other networks.

So If you say don’t use GE products... ie. lightbulbs and toaster ovens, that’s fine....but who do I use and do they support conservative causes? That’s how you begin the blueprint.

Mostly good ideas with exception of Talk Radio, sell off your stocks and investments. Don’t go to any major city in the United States. They steel enough of your money, don’t give them anymore.

Was talking about this with each of my grown kids today. Like-minded producers need to trade, barter, do business with each other. Just like greenies support their own. We can leave a mark if we get serious about it. we also need to get our families out of the public school systems.

Summer movies - all of them.

Make use of RedBox.com. Movies are only a little over a buck. If you create an account, you will receive notices of new releases and you can reserve your movie online and pickup at the nearest Redbox location. It works great.

One other think, most cable/sat companies don't advertise this but they have simple packages that do not include the alphabet networks and then you can build on this package with single subscriptions to channels The Blaze on Dish 212. :)

Just sayin'

Sumpin' else I've been thinking and wondering about, how a national conservative week long holiday would be received.

What percent of the population declaring a nationwide holiday would cause most activity within that nation to cease?

Would the 47% of the population who don't pay taxes and whom most don't work pick up the load?

Tea Party needs some wealthy benefactors who are Patriots and believe in the Constitution. Establish own media outlets and control the message toward constitutional freedom and US principles of liberty.

I'm not getting anything to promote the Blaze TV, it's just a great value and you a great news organization that believes in the truth. Oh, and they're NOT MSM...

” Like-minded producers need to trade, barter, do business with each other.”

Yep, and although frowned upon by those who want to dictate to us, I would include that we should try to hire those who are like-minded, and form networks to help the like-mined to get jobs and appointments. It's markedly hypocritical, in my view, for politicians to use their connections to ensure that their sons and daughters and friends get swanky appointments and positions, while pushing federal policy that designed to keep us from doing the same.

I say boycott AARP.
Amac provides the same product but they don 't support liberal agendas.

Once we make sure that everyone is off of AARP we move on to the next group, lets say Starbucks.

There is a whole list of Obama supporters listed on Google.

We need to find a way around this Obamacare. Maybe health co-ops or groups formed and doctors hired? You know the rich have ways around it. Hospital ships offshore?

Subscription TV is not the way to go to get your message out to the masses. I like Beck... but discerning re: his message and motivation. Need to have three news networks for national/international news, business news and social commentary that are conservative oriented. I’m looking for something to get involved in and I certainly would this.
