And now there's FR,which has MUSCLE. :-)

I've never seen a company react that fast. Course, from what I understand, they had a 1.2 billion dollar drop in stock value in one day. Guess that will wake anyone up.

I think that they were inundated with mail and phone calls,which flummoxed them something terrible.It really all about the bottom line...really it is!

Blacks started using the boycott as a tool,in the late '30s,I think, and there are far more of us,than there are activist blacks.At least WE don't "boycott as blackmail/make money from it",as Jesse Jackson does.But boycotts and threat of boycotts WORK! It's a tool that Conservatives should use and use and use.:-)
