Buycott L.L. Bean!
http://www.llbean.com/
A leftist group that targeted Ivanka Trumps fashion line in the fall is now targeting the L.L. Bean clothing and equipment company because one of its 50 co-owners dared to donate $60,000 to a pro-Donald Trump political action committee (PAC).
The donor in question, according to the Daily Mail, is Linda Bean, one of 50 co-owners and a member of the founding Bean family. Her donation was sent to Making America Great Again LLC, according to the Associated Press, and came to light because the Federal Election Commission (FEC) complained the contribution was 12 times higher than the maximum allowable $5,000 individual limit. (PACs are subject to limits; super PACs are not, but may not coordinate politically with campaigns.)
Making America Great Again LLC chair David Jones said that he had been unaware of a letter from the FEC, and that the PAC was taking steps to convert to a super PAC.
The story, however, was enough to catch the attention of the #GrabYourWallet campaign, which has added L.L. Bean to its list of Additional Entities to Consider Boycotting, on the grounds that Company leader raised funds for Trump PAC.

Most of the lefties that go outdoors shop at outdoor stores like REI and such where they don’t sell hunting or fishing gear. They just use stuff to go to outdoor places, but then they don’t hunt or fish when they get there.
What I would like to see more of you boycott Hollywood. I have for 20 yrs not supported that filth industry. I wish that I could get millions more to do the same.
We need a Patrinize list. So far I got Chik Fil A
New Balance
LL Bean
Dominos
Boscovs
Conair
Ford
“Celebrate diversity except when you’re different from us.” - Leftists
No liberal ever bought so much as a pair of socks from L.L. Bean. A ban won’t hurt their bottom line.
“I struggle to find an example of a company being boycotted by conservatives because of a political contribution by one of its owners.”
Maybe with your qualification of “one of its owners”.
Just google “boycott list second amendment” for starters. We conservatives do massive boycotts. Target, for example.
Amen.Amen.Amen.
People do not realize the subtle propaganda that goes with the outright propaganda. And the sheeple realize neither. And this is nothing new. The entire industry is bread and circus.
I say we are on our way to restoring our culture when the theaters are empty.
This boycott will not amount to jack squat.
Amen brother, over 30 years here.
Last movie ticket I bought was 1981’s Apocalypse Now.
Lefties are mostly REI shoppers. The ones that actually go outside and do stuff, that is.
Have always liked LL Bean
Maybe with your qualification of one of its owners.
That’s a distinction with a difference. In cases like Target, the objection is to loudly proclaimed corporate policy, not the private choices of individuals.
I love L.L. Bean - have never been disappointed.
Just bought two shirts from them.
Good for them. Let your dollars do your talking. It is the only appropriate thing I’ve heard about Lefties doing in a long time.
Add Yuengling Beer.
I just bought a Bean jacket and boots for my step-daughter.
The only leftists who are likely to affect their bottom line are the femnazis who buy plaid flannel shirts and men’s jeans. Very small demographic.
Yuengling of course! When I typed this that was on my mind but somehow forgot!
