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!

[Heartofsong83]

Yep, even though they have been silent on the issue...

[Cold Heat]

but I am boycotting anything related to illegals.

I guess your grass cutting can wait.:-) The cattle can be fed tomorrow, and the fruit and vegetable harvesting might wait another day.....but then most of these folks were going to work a half day and party in any case...

I work in a 25 story building in Los Angeles. In the lobby is a cafe chain called BRIAZZ.

Only one person showed up for work today ... out of about 15-18.

Growing up Catholic, May 1st was "Up With Mary Day" where I came from.

Happy Pinko de mayo, Cold Heat

btw: >"rotational heads"??? Linda Blair, is that you?

[Earthdweller]

Of course the dummies are supporting any boycott of Businesses and don't forget the Mexicans are "evil" Christians.

[weegee]

We have Tex-Mex restaurants here. Does that count as "fusion"?

I see future boycotts of products made in Mexico (like import beer) and maybe some cars.

I've had two threads pulled and your thread is what is designated as our LIVE thread for today

Buy AMERICAN

Stores to Shop At

Don't Buy Meat This Monday! A Way to Protest Companies that Support Illegal Immigration

We are calling for a boycott of miller brewing company and May 5th Cinco de Mayo celebrations, as well as a general boycott of Mexican products. Rev. Brian Bonner D.D.

The "Backlash" will certainly be forthcoming and I can't think of a more deserving group of outofcontrol politically ignorant conservatives.

Hey, I'm just doing the job most gringos are too fat and lazy to do. BTW, I keep noting a specific threat in your posts. Keep it up...

I put over $50 worth of Mobil gas into my SUV this morning.

While pumping the gas, I saw a typical illegal alien yard crew pull into the station. The usual "crowd" was standing around and I saw a beautiful thing.

The Hispanic foreman of this job crew was fighting with another guy in Spanish who was refusing to work today.

The foreman told him in Spanish:

"Never get in one of my trucks again! If you want to go hang out with the "lazies" (I can't say what he really said!) that's your choice! But don't come to me for work anymore you "lazy"! "

I almost laughed out loud.

I don't know if they do or not. I was just pointing out that the parent company according to the earlier post was supporting the protest.

It can get confusing on who to protest and who not to with so many companys now days now being owned by bigger parent companies and not knowing exactly who owns what.

The presence of large numbers of illegals plays into Bush's plans to merge the USA, Mexico, and Canada into an EU style regional government.

In case you couldn't guess, this is DUmmieland's take on it.

"Send emails and chain letters to everyone you know asking them to boycott Tyson Foods, until they go broke."

I haven't bought Tyson chicken since the Clinton administration.

"So go to Taco bell. It is American owned and operated."

Taco Bell is a Pepsi company, along with Pizza Hut.

"I see future boycotts of products made in Mexico"
Agree and IMO it will not be necessarily verbalized as *that* would be seen as unPC.

[RushCrush]

Hmm, I grew up Catholic too but I have never heard of this? What is it? (Up With Mary Day)

[Cold Heat]

Nobody is advocating loose border enforcement!

I find it a bit telling that most of our border security issues are at the Northern border, yet I hear not complaints about that.

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

It is the issue of what to do with the resident illegals that is the problem and where the disagreement is located.

The border security issue is agreed upon, but I think more emphasis needs to be placed in the North, as well as the South. The border security issue is critical also, for the success of any fixes for the illegal issue.

There are a slew of "latino brethren" and RINO operatives here....all motivated by the same collaborative instincts.

This is the least Xenophobic nation on earth, these folks are simply disingenuous liars and actually are the real racists.

If denying your country simply to stand with folks because of a shared race or ethnicity is not at least racialist then what is?

Yet we have plenty of FReepers who do just that and yell racist at any Gringo who disagrees.

Ixtapa Restaurant, Monroe WA is reportedly closed today in support of illegal immigrants. They are now on my Permanent Boycott list.
