Boycotting ‘s Power Has Been Overlooked
The unsuccessful attempts at Campaign Finance Reform leave citizens little power over the financial influences of special interest. Yet without the financial influence do you think Rick Perry,Michelle Bachman or that ditz from Alaska could stand a chance ? Now with the overwhelming amount of money and benefits from the Citizens United decision going to Republicans, Democrats must assemble public support and strategies to fight the Republicans almost unlimited financial strength.
Below are some of the organizations that may assemble who we have been in contact with as of 1/20/2012.
Boycotting the corporations donating to Republicans will have an impact and restore some sense of control in a population extremely jaded by special interest.
As for Corporations and the special interest opinion, why expose yourself by donating if your going to become public enemy #1 ?
Americans need to beat the special interest money and have been unsuccessful with every attempt. Boycotting gives the strength back to the public in a time when Occupy Wall Street has created an organized citizenry in a discontented atmosphere that only needs a target.
They may have money but look at the clowns they're lining up. So target the money
Don’t forget the threat of Boycott had Fox News cancel Glenn Beck. It was a Boycott then Divesting that brought down The Apartheid Empire
The list does not contain all of the Political Activism Organizations, Universities, University Radio Stations, NPR Stations, News papers, Christian Environmental, Environmental or Social Justice Organizations we have been in contact with because the list is growing by the hour.

Color of Change, Move On .Org, The New Bottom Line, Campaign for Americas Future, EJF Environmental Justice Foundation, EDF Environmental Defense Fund, PDA Progressive Democrats of America, Green Conduct, servicelijn@milieudefensie.nl (Dutch Organization who has had great success speaking directly to Shell Oils Shareholders at Shareholders Meetings)
CREDO ACTION, Clean Water Action, SOJOURNERS, Energy Action Coalition, Campus Progress ETC,
We have the people and a Boycott tool they are deadly afraid of. If we join in and only Boycotted Companies involved in Hydro Fracking it would send fear through every Republican Donor. Lets save our country by using the tool that got the Fox Network to cancel its Golden Boy, The Glenn Beck Show.
Without corporate money, how else could they get a single one of the existing conservative clowns in office. Rick perry was once their golden boy and all the money in the world couldnt help him. If he were truthful and honest ,his hearts passion to close that agency would have reminded him who he was out to get.
Talking points are hard to remember I guess.
Lets Boycott em all and give em all amnesia
Sincerely
Patrick
