Democrats: Boycott Holiday Shopping This Weekend, or

[Zorra]

only buy your gifts from other Dems and coops and other non-destructive vendors. Let's not feed the corporate bush campaign finance machine!

Turn your cash into a Weapon of Mass Construction.


Please kick this thread for the weekend.

1. I'm going to do whatever makes me happy for the holidays. :)

I deserve it, and I'm not letting Bush, you or anyone else change that. :)

2. Good for you!

I'm with Zorra! I'm going to try and think outside the box and support those who support my concerns and that will make me very happy!

3. I'm going to buy a NORML phone card

or anything from working assets. Shop like a lefty this holiday. Next year, we take back America. :dem:

4. I joined Costco

after I found out last week they were the only corporation that is giving the evil Walmart competition. Also, the CEO of Costco is a big Democratic donor. I'm not a big fan of the giant discount stores, but if I can use one less evil corporation to destroy a truly evil corporation, I figure I'm helping. Also, I highly recommend Working Assests long distance and cell phone service---they are fantastic and I have really saved money!

5. Wow

I'm hearing more and more good stuff about Costco. I already bought a shirt for the dh from www.sweatx.net, a clothing collective started by Ben Cohen and others. I'll look to Costco for more presents.

Not this weekend, though. Nothing would induce me to go out in those crowds.

6. I went Tuesday---yeesh!!

I thought (somehow) it would be less crowded--WRONG! But hey, I bought 28 Duracel AA batteries for 9 bucks--now my remotes will work for ages!!

9. I joined Costco two years ago.

I like their layout much better and its people are much more attentive and friendly. Knowing the CEO is a big Dem contributor makes me feel even better about dumping my Sam's membership!

7. This is assuming

that I have the money to shop...
This is gonna be a lean year.

8. No malls where I live, no Wal-Mart in my county

and I hope it stays that way.

What would be good is if folks make a list of good co-ops/mom/pop stores in their area where they recommend folks shop.

Ozark Cooperative Warehouse in Fayetteville AR is great-and supports local organic farmers

Nature's Wonders in Harrison AR has health foods/supplements, and is run by a family whose motto is "We aren't in business to make money, we're in business to help people"
