California startup promises to connect conservative consumers with like-minded companies

Would you donate to causes that work against everything you believe in? Would you give your hard-earned money to people who will use that money to fund objectionable actions? These seem like ridiculous questions, yet for millions of conservatives, this happens daily. Whether it's ordering a cup of coffee from Starbucks, which matches donations to Planned Parenthood; dining at a restaurant that refuses to serve police officers; or banking with a financial institution that fires its unvaccinated employees, tens of millions of freedom-loving Americans are spending their money daily on companies that hate their values.

Some historians believe that the average life cycle of a civilization is roughly 250 years. Later this year, the United States will celebrate its 246th birthday. What this suggests is that this nation that has been a beacon of hope to so many around the world might have to make a crucial decision. Are we going to dissolve at the hands of authoritarian leaders who silence dissenting voices in the name of "combatting misinformation"? Or are we going to rise up, stand for freedom, and pursue the liberties that have made this nation so special in the first place?

There's the old adage, "it's all about the money." Well, what if there is a way to make sure that our money supports only businesses that support law enforcement, promote free speech, respect and protect people's freedoms, and push back against tyranny? As the CEO of PublicSq., a new app and website, which connects freedom-loving Americans to businesses that support their values, I believe that this is the solution many Americans are looking for.

I have my own personal boycott list. Starbucks is on it. So is Target. So are Kohl’, Bed, Bath, and Beyons. So is Walgreens.

Yep. Pretty much all of them for me except Walgreens. I don’t go there often, but what did they do? I may have to avoid them as well.

I also haven’t bought a Coca Cola product in several months. I did occasionally buy Smart Water and Simply Limeade, but no more. Apparently. I’m too white for them.

And the Salvation Army was my go-to charity. I made several donations a year. No more. Again, it appears that I’m too white.

Walgreens was one of the companies that refused to help fund the Republican National Convention in 2016. I saw an article at the time that had a list of those companies.

Salvation Army walked out of, or refused to participate in some Trump event - can’t remember which.

I switched to Samaritan’s Purse as a replacement.

No Coca Cola products for me either.
