Forum Suggestion: Progressive Marketplace
While I'm a minimalist at heart, face it, the calls to "quit buying things" are a little silly.

I suggest that we post suggestions of retailers and services large and small that are progressive-friendly. In this way we "vote" with our dollars every day. Also we can post those who support the RNC, GWB, etc and avoid them.

4. There Are Options For Almost Everything That Help Our Side
Why throw our bucks to the Dark Siders?? They love money most of all, I don't want them to get any more of mine than absolutely necessary.
