This is what Conservative organization is all about. What if all the companies that support this socialist agenda get boycotted by everyone in the TEA party movement? Normally, boycotts don’t work, but these are not normal circumstances. We have a highly motivated and large group of Americans looking for ways to support liberty and freedom. We need to get the information out on which products and services to avoid and why. If enough people get involved, this could lead to the next level of peaceful dissent. On top of that, we can find businesses that are a part of the TEA party movement that we can actively support.
Reasons why it would be a good idea
1. Hurt companies supporting this agenda during a recession
2. Diversifies the dissent from the town halls
3. Americans have dozens of purchasing decisions every day, and now they easily promote the cause
4. More information will allow the American people make better decisions
I am going to start working on this. If any other FReeper wants to help out with ideas or research PM me.
This is an excellent idea.
None of these companies want the kind of negative publicity a “highly motivated and large group of Americans looking for ways to support liberty and freedom” can generate.
Exposing the political agenda behind business decisions these companies make may be every bit as much impact as the effects of any ensuing boycott.
Here’s a quote from the response Geico sent to a message protesting their decision to pull advertising from Beck:
“It is of little benefit to us if a program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out.”
Maybe seeing their little gekko displayed on signs carried by protestors as road kill will send Geico a message about the kind of “attention” they have brought on themselves by kowtowing to the Thugocracy.
