Lets stipulate: Activists on the left are free to exercise their rights of speech and assembly to boycott businesses whose politics they oppose. Conversely, activists on the right are free to exercise the power of their pocketbooks and refrain from supporting businesses that shun their values.
So, what are you waiting for, conservatives? There are coordinated shakedowns taking place right now that involve some of Americas most prominent companies whove chosen to surrender to progressive bullying and race-card opportunism. Silence is complicity.
On Tuesday, McDonalds told liberal magazine Mother Jones that the company had decided to cut ties with ALEC, the corporate-backed group that drafts pro-free-market legislation for state lawmakers around the country.
The fast-food conglomerate follows in the feckless footsteps of Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Intuit (maker of Quick and Quicken Books software) and Kraft Foods which have all withdrawn support for ALEC after drum-banging from Color of Change.

..Ping!
Several years ago I started a list of all the retail and food stores that were “off limits” per FR comments.
Eventually we got down to where the only acceptable place to shop was the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores. Then someone posted an anti-Catholic screed and we were finished.
Good luck with your list.
works for me
additionally, if people have decided to stop supporting those companies supporting anti-American / pro-progressive values ... they should take 5 minutes and call the company and explain why they will no longer receive your business
they fear the calls more then the loss of a few bucks.
if you feel strongly enough to call... you feel strong enough to tell your friends. that spread of ill will can crush a business.
Well, Walgreens (only items on-sale with coupons!), Diet Coke (always on-sale cheap), and a few Kraft products (which I can do without).
Shame on them. Better bookmark this thread for further additions, huh?
HOORAY Michelle Malkin! ABSOLUTELY! DEFUND socialist collectives and their enablers. It’s easy...and YOU will have more money.
DEPOPULATE them from the body politic. Vote...and YOU will have a lot more money.
LOOK at some of the damage they have done to us...
They’re insidious. Their slimey claws are out everywhere ..
bullying, making play for pay deals.

Climate friendly strategies, Lets Move! support now among criteria for winning government contracts
Excerpt:
Want to win a contract to operate concessions on federal property? Be ready to explain how your business promotes Obama administration desires like climate friendly strategies and the first ladys Lets Move! anti-childhood obesity effort.
Proposal documents obtained by The Daily Caller reveal that the National Park Service favors those who promote these Obama White House priorities when deciding which concessioners they will allow to operate businesses on federally owned property.
The documents outline what criteria the National Park Service considered when awarding a concessions contract for operating the Silver Gull Beach Club and Breezy Point Beach Club on federally owned land in New York this summer.
These guidelines tell bidders that the National Park Service is interested in supporting the goals of the First Ladys Lets Move! Initiative.
Describe how your proposal supports these goals, including measures that will encourage healthy options for food and beverages and active, exercise-oriented recreation, reads proposal packages for both locations.

You can say that again!
I plan to go to the Yahoo Finance message boards for these companies and tell stock holders they are suporting communist sympathizers.
Certainly! Any informed conservative knows about
Lewis. At least he’s honestly and publicly a liberal.
These appeasing companies are weak and being intimidated
by the bullies in chief for govt contracts.
I have posted on several of the yahoo finance message boards. I am sure to get flamed. Please check in and post some positive comments. Just search for communist in the message title.
McDonalds bedded down with the Holder side of life a long time ago. That’s why their restaraunts are so dangerous today. “I’m Lovin’ It!”....Not.
This definitely isn't your daddy's America.
Don’t forget that Darden Restaurants is far left (DRI). Thet run Red Lobster, Olive Garden. etc. I left a Yahoo Finance post for them that could use some support.
I have posted on Yahoo Finance stock message boards for many of these. Will try to call as well.
Thank you! I’m not on those boards.
Just think of all the company ‘deals’ they’re
working as we speak. They’re spreading their
evil plague everywhere! Damn them ...
Thank you. I didn’t know that.
