LURKING Progressives & liberals: Had enough of petitions, rallies, protests that have not worked?
Have you had enough of petitions, rallies, and protests that have not worked? The Republiklan party and their klanservative members appears insulated from the public and unresponsive to the public. However their contributors do not appear insulated from the public and can collapse under pressure to a withering telephone campaign threatening mass boycotts of their products until they get their friends at the GOP to do what we want.


Would you and your organization consider joining these telephone campaigns and spreading the word to your membership, and fellow progressive groups? I have created these campaigns to peacefully take back America. After you have made these phone calls please send me email to info@dmocrats.org with the subject CALLED.

Thank you.


Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.

Call GOP contributor Rite Aid at 1-800-325-3737 and tell the person to get the CEO to get the GOP to enact HR 676 Single payer universal health care and repeal Medicare Part D and place the drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80% of drugs with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until that happens, you won't buy ANYTHING from Rite Aid.

Call GOP contributor Wendy's restaurants at 614 764-3553 and Tell the person in public relations that you want their CEO to get the GOP to help enact a $10/HR MIN. WAGE into law and until this happens you will not go to a Wendy's Restaurant.



I set up a progressives forum for progressives and liberals
only. Get as many progressives and liberals to join as you
can.

I do not seek donations. You can use the board for free and no
I'm not telling you to stop using this board. Use both.

I realize that with the centrist and conservatives and even some progressives I will see some naysaying. Well I really don't care if they naysay. I ask them if they have ended the war, or gotten a real prescription drug benefit enacted or a livable $10/hr minimum wage enacted yet and the answer will appear no.

1. How many of these corporations donate to both parties?
That's what most of them do--they win no matter what.

2. None of these companies as far as I can tell give to Democrats.
None. Even if they did and they don't they should realize that they live in a country where millions of people have hardships and these companies do nothing to help these people.

3. "these companies do nothing to help these people"
That's a rather strong and unsubstantiated statement. I used to work for one of the companies you smear and it frequently made large donations to charitable organizations.

4. Private charity appears a pittance compared to government action
on the 3 actions that I propose.

Many Republicans talk about wanting only private companies and charities to take care of people but that has not worked in history. We need a strong government taking care of people who need help.
