There are obvious reasons to do it, but my latest thought is that with advertisers pulling out of Rush's show, that there is a likelihood that they'll step in, somehow.
I think it would actually be difficult to do completely or thoroughly, but perhaps there are ways of doing something effective.
Ideas?

"Anything That Georgia-Pacific Produces: First are Georgia-Pacific consumer products: Angel Soft, Quilted Northern, and Soft n Gentle toilet paper; Brawny paper towels; any of the Dixie plates, bowls and napkins; Sparkle, Vanity Fair and Zee napkins; Georgia-Pacific's paper products."

it's the people that get their support that we can make sweat.
if nobody will take your money, it doesn't matter how much you have.

(83 posts)5. I totally agree
The Koch's (pronounce that name anyway you seem fit) don't seem to care what anyone says about them, they appear oblivious to their reputation as one of the country's largest polluters. In fact, they seem to revel in their own filthy success!

it's the best I've ever found, and it's non-Koch

I generally don't boycott union-made products.

i mean, if some folks thought the only way to do business with them and not be boycotted was to run a union shop --it would be a better outcome.
