BOYCOTT BERKELEY (start of ping list;)

I started to make a list of Berkeley firms to boycott. I don’t lightly believe that firms should pay the economic price for their city council views, but these firms are the enablers of one of the most repugnant regimes in our history and they unfortunately will be innocent casualties in the campaign. The city could not run without their tax dollars. Thus the boycott is on!

Obviously the German run Bayer, Berkeley’s largest corporate job source is a top choice. http://www.bayerus.com/communities/berkeley/index.html

OK how does a boycott work in practice? Let’s use sightspeed as an example. First we dig for information. Here is what 10 minuets of hunting got me. What can others dig up? http://www.sightspeed.com/business/customers

dig, dig, dig… http://digitalmediaupdate.blogspot.com/2007/10/sightspeed-open-for-business-sightspeed.html

Peter D. Csathy email: pcsathy@sightspeed.com; CEO of SightSpeed Inc. (www.sightspeed.com); …. live ….., in sunny San Diego, California; …)

Second we email all the principals. A polite letter. State our case. Ask them to leave Berkeley. Repeat. CC to the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce and the press. We FIRMLY ask them to leave Berkeley. If there is no response we escalate. Email their customers. Escalate. Perhaps we put boots on the ground and picket.

Polite, dignified and steady pressure. Times 10. Times 100. If you are interested please bump this thread or Freepmail me. Eagles up.

A side note: I don’t believe snark or extremely hot rhetoric will achieve what we want. It’s fun to blow off steam here, real fun, but the economic boycott should be above that to achieve success. There are perhaps 100 other Berkeley firms that we need to email or call. From emailing Hilton and asking them to sell the Doubletree at the Berkeley marina, to asking associations not to have a meeting at HS Lordships http://www.hslordships.com/

Let's partner with MoveAmericaForward, GOE, HotAir, LGF and others. Who’s in?

Well perhaps they should have thought TWICE before electing anti-American socialists like this to their council. You reap what you sow.

Hi, Brat!

Welcome to FR! Don’t accept any free burkas! And watch out for the Viking Kitties!

[combat_boots]

Heads up. AR’s in the house today!

How are you, sir?

[60Gunner]

I’m sure you think this is a great idea, but the people who you want to suffer as a result of this won’t.

Then maybe the people who will suffer for this will stop voting for treasonous jerk-off liberals.

What does that candy-assed liberal bumper sticker say? Oh, yes: REGIME CHANGE STARTS AT HOME.

Okay, you Berkley pukes: Here's your chance to try it out on your home turf.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Bump.

I’m doing just fine, combat_boots.

Thank GOD we’ve got http://www.Freerepublic.com on hand here to make a difference out there on behalf of the Freedom of others in time of war,

...that we Vietnam Veterans didn’t have upon our return home from the Vietnam War.

"If I still lived in CA, I’d be in Berkeley, showing my face, painting signs and writing letters to the Editor of the local paper, as well as the campus papers."

Camp Pendleton, CA was my home for many years while my dad was active duty. Not living in CA now has not stopped me from writing letters to the Editor, as well as other entities all over the U.S.

Write letters (http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/) even if they have a slim chance of being published. The Editor will most likely inform the Mayor or Councilmembers of the number and content of letters received.

Berkeley asked for the wrath of the U.S. -- now it's up to us to deliver.

Has anyone checked out this Ted Garrett to see who he has made political donations to?

If a search on him showed that he donates to a bunch of Barking Moon-Bats it would be fun to rub his nose in that!

It would also discredit his claim that he disagrees with the city of Berkeley and their anti- Military/ anti-American actions.

[USMC Brat]

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

ooh-rah!

[Monkey Face]

Nothing beats righteous anger!

I don’t disagree with that at all.

The problem is that he hates Free Republic and I don’t think he could get past that.

That’s unfortunate, but I do think it a large factor. No pun intended

Forget about boycotting Jetton Construction... The Polsby’s are well-known libs.
Nelson died last year; here’s his obit from UCB News:

[davidlachnicht]

Would you wear a shirt that said this?

[davidlachnicht]

The REAL boycott is to
NOT have MONEY spent
INSIDE Berkeley.

Boycott the retailers, service providers, etc.

[GOPJ]

Call your congresscritter and say you don’t want any, not one thin dime, none, nada, zip, of federal money going to Berkeley.
