Go to the link in post # 1. Here is a list of the Federation's board of directors. You can pick up some places to boycott under their names. It's wise to only pick out a few to contact or boycott. After all, this retailer's lobbying group represents thousands of companies, and ya can't do 'em all.

Also, look on the bottom of the Board's page. You can email them. I would hope a few blue dart emails will emanate from the keyboards of some feisty freepers.

It also wouldn' hurt to attach a link to this thread so they can see what their customers are thinking.

These snobby boards think that we in flyover country are beneath them. Of course, we hold the power of the purse...and without us, the only boards they'd be sitting on would be at their high schools' baseball games.

What really gets me is Obama's strange and continuing hold over the thinking of otherwise intelligent and educated people. It's one of the wonders of our time. This almost hypnotic influence is patently obvious in a cultish way across the fruited plain....but the psychology of it is a subject for discussion on another thread.

As a life-long bookkeeper, I don’t understand why any business-of any size- would want to dismiss or disrespect the
Tea Party ideals.

Do they all need to be nationalized like Obama is trying to do to the health care industry before they get a clue???

No one in the Tea Party is anti biz...geeeeeez.

I hope these anti-TEA Party “businesses” go bankrupt.

Obama, Harry Reid and company brought us this so-called “shutdown.”

[Kickass Conservative]

“No Negotiate” Obama brought the Country to the brink of default, not the Tea Party.

Truth is an outdated concept in this Country.

[upchuck]

Interesting. Most Tea Partiers I know are very pro business. Especially local businesses.

What we have is not socialism, but corporatism. Corporatism is much more dangerous than socialism. Socialism always fails, but corporatism can succeed. Corporatism is the real enemy.

Headstamp said it best.

The corporatists can have their POS party.

Is there any doubt that Big Businesses is aligned with the Socialists? That incestuous relationship has a name.

Fascism.
