We've made our list and checked it twice - Blue Christmas is here! Announcements | BuyBlue News Posted by Raven on November 21, 2005 - 3:08pm It seems like only yesterday, but it was one year ago that BuyBlue launched on December 1, 2004 with our Blue Christmas list of products and services, and the campaign contributions of the companies that make them.
If you are new to BuyBlue, you might be asking yourself what "Blue Christmas" is all about.
Retailers make a significant portion of their yearly sales during the Christmas season. At this time of the year, we have the greatest opportunity to vote for our values with our wallets and have retailers take notice. Last year, many of us did just that, and retailers and news organizations definitely took notice.
This year we have put together a list of the companies most deserving of our patronage, based on all the factors we track on our site. The result is the Blue Christmas 2005 list, a sort of "Editor's List" of products and services we recommend. You can also find information on nearly 500 companies, representing more than 1100 brands and products.
Aaaargh! I love Fry's ... And Southwest Airlines too...
Read the reasons why the companies are on the list. Many are on there for reasons that are NOT objectionable to conservatives. For example, Fry's Electronics was endorsed because it supports a charity that obtains used computer equipment for youth in developing countries.

BuyBlue.org shut down for awhile but I see they’ll be back this fall. They’re after O’Reilly now and even more partisan than ever. Can’t wait to see their new format and check the companies that give to the Dems.
Wow! A post from 2005 and I get a reply. Hot D**m!
LOL - you’re funny. I always went to BuyBlue.org when shopping so I knew who the enemy was. I was upset when the site went down so I double checked and voila! it’s coming back. They keep mentioning O’Reilly lol. They’re in cahoots with Daily Koz - figures.
I know, Isnt it great ?!?!?!
BuyBlue.org went under not to long after this thread, and since I got a response from Leonard210, I checked on it, and it is announcing it is coming back. Thank you very much Leonard210 !!!
