Time to Drop Dropbox. They decided to place Condy Rice on their board. Ms. Rice is known for her participation in the Haliburton-Iraq War. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024805059

DuckDuckGo is recommended over Google because it does not record your visits.

Credo, America's only progressive phone company.

3. It might be easier

to just boycott any totally capitalist company that is not a worker owned cooperative.
It would be more "progressive."

5. I tend to think that is the way.

Try to wean yourself from the corporate world...the more you feed the beast the larger it will grow.

The AFL-CIO has announced it has endorsed the APWU national boycott of Staples . This boycott includes all Staples retail stores in the US, Staples.com, Staples Advantage as well as branded proprietary products.

13. Thanks rhett o rick

My small publishing company has gone from spending around $ 500 a year on stationary and other supplies down to around $ 215 a year by using one of the local dollar stores rather than Staples. (Not Dollar General!)

Why pay $ 3.00 for 15 manila envelopes when you can pay $ 3.00 for thirty of 'em?

The store we use pays for its employees' health benefits and offers a semi- competitive wage.

14. I have the same problem.

Still, I go there first, and if it has disappointing results, only then do I use Google.
