"Mexican workers hold signs reading 'Don't Buy Gringo Products. Long live the Boycott,' as they demonstrate in Mexico City, Friday April 28, 2006. A demonstration Friday by thousands of Mexican workers to promote union solidarity turned into a protest against America's vast influence on the nation's economy, with many protesters saying they will take part in a boycott of all things 'gringo' next week.

How do they expect to get around without their Chevys with dingle-ball-trim interiors?

Um.....yeah.... sure.

Boycot the Gringo, huh?

That'll sure stimulate your economy.

And the paragon of 400 years of advanced Mexican science and technology is.....?

Mud bricks and velvet Elvis paintings.

Just thinking outside the box: If they want to come here so badly, and we want to buy their oil, and our companies want to manufacture there because of the low wage rate, why don't we consider just annexing Mexico into the US. Then they wouldn't be illegal aliens, and they wouldn't have to worry about taking back the SW US.

Just a news note...just heard on a Chicago TV station (Fox) that PepsiCo America is allowing workers off today to support the illegal alien invasion.

We need a thread to post names of supporters of this sham.

BOYCOTT PEPSICO.

I just did a seach on the Pepsico site and sent the following message to the board of directors. There is an email form there that can be used.

To Whom It May Concern:

Today, May 1, 2006, has been declared a day of protest by illegal aliens of our country's immigration policies. Accordingly, they are leaving work to march and protest the freest nation on the planet.

I have been made aware of the fact that Pepsico has stated their position to allow their workers to leave work to participate in this travesty.

This is to advise you that thanks to your comprehensive website, I now know exactly what products are produced by your conglomeration and my family will no longer purchase any of your products.

You have chosen sides in the battle for America. You have chosen poorly. Now you will pay for this choice. I will be passing this on to my fellow citizens and they will pass it along to others. Before long, you will understand the concept of a "chain reaction".

Respectfully,

Shun the boycott BUMP

Greet the clerks with "Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays". That ought to have them scratching their heads.

Holidaze this week include Communist May Day (May 1), Isreal's Independence Day (May 3), National Day Of Prayer (May 4), and Cinco de Maio (Mayo 5). While you may not "personally" embrace any/all of these holidays, it is PC to strip them of their name/significance and just refer to this as a holiday season.

Good. Let the Mexicans protest. Maybe it'll inspire them to protest their corrupt government and clean it up. That is the right and responsibility of citizens in any country. For if they don't utilize that right, they will soon lose it, just as Cuba lost their rights to the lovely Castro...
