May 1 closures: who to boycott? Rallies (Live thread)

05/01/06

[Heartofsong83]

This should be a list of who is planning to close their business on Monday, May 1 in response of the Great American Boycott. We should compile it and boycott them ourselves if possible!

Remember to go shopping or work overtime on May 1!

[RandallFlagg]

*ahem!*


I just thought I'd mention something on this thread...

I'm at work and can tell you first hand that.......


WE at COORS are
OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!

Have a cold one!

[Kimberly GG]

JustPiper.....any clue as to WHY the media refuses to focus on the messages in the signage? It's so bizaar. These people are waving their American flags and carrying some of the most threatening messages I've ever seen!

[JustPiper]

I'm angry will they listen to me on spanish radio here?

I can't even find numbers for those radio stations

[daybreakcoming]

WHERE ARE the 85plus percent of americans who are against amnesty for these illegals?

W-O-R-K-I-N-G.

[JustPiper]

It was a teenager yes?

[RandallFlagg]

We are at work because we don't rely on welfare for income; WE EARN OUR LIVING.

"I am at a loss to understand WHERE ARE the 85plus percent of americans who are against amnesty for these illegals?"

Working? It's a workday, after all.

[groovejedi]

Well, it's a damn shame, out of over 100 illegal mexicans that my boss' have employeed here at my work, only about 5 showed up to wrok today. It's time to report my employer for hiring illegals, because one of our boss' gave them the choice to have today off. Us Whities have to be here.
I'm leaving here soon anyway, I might as well report these cheap bastards before I go and maybe collect a little reward.

What's the difference between Al Quata and the illegal foreign invaders?

On 1170 KFAQ in Tulsa, Oklahoma this morning a caller who claimed he was part Cherokee and Mexican was shouting at the radio host, urging Muslims to come and join in the protests today. He said that it is White, Christian, Gringo's that are destroying the Middle East and that the Muslims should hook up with the Mexicans to bring down this nation. It was truly over the top and the guy sounded crazy.

Having many protests in Tulsa and OKC today, along with rallies by the minutemen.

Just talked to a friend and where he works only 3 Mexicans showed up today, the rest took vacation days or called in sick.

"When I visited SF this year (and don't know if I will ever need to return), I saw Chinese immigrants who had LEFT communist rule protesting the abuses of such government.

Is there ever a debate between the pro-Communist US college kids and the refugees who fled such oppressive systems?"

Sadly, they are intimidated by the large communist majority in this town. And I get the impression most are busy earning an honest living. So the only anti-China protestors are the falun gong nuts - and they actually get lib support.

[Beagle8U]

" There's a host of non-commie and non-immigration related reasons for businesses to be closed today, do a little research before you start your boycott."

I haven't started a boycott. I was just pointing out that Mayday didn't have anything to do with Communism in the little town I was born in.

It was a day to give little things to the other kids in the neighborhood without them ever knowing who dropped them off and rang the doorbell.

I think it started long before Communism did.

[JustaCowgirl]

Should we start calling burglars “undocumented guests?”

In that spirit, Breaking and Entering will now be referred to as "undocumented intrusion."

I am at a loss to understand WHERE ARE the 85plus percent of americans who are against amnesty for these illegals?

You betcha! Best job in the world (Other than maybe blowing stuff up or wasting terrorist scum).

[Grampa Dave]

Out here in La La Land, aka N. California, a lot of restaurants and shops are closed on Mondays.

Apparently a couple of Mexican/American restaurants had signs in their restaurants that they will be open today.

[Eaker]

Bush's position on border security is strong and undeniable.

Huh?
