Boycott Big Box Bookstores: Barnes & Nobles and Borders
Don't buy books from Barnes & Nobles and Borders anymore. Instead, buy them from locally owned or used bookstores. People that own used bookstores aren't rich and they could sure use the money. Make a list of the used bookstores in your area, run off copies, go to B&N or Borders and put them in random books. Also a good way to distribute Anti-Bush literature. It's just like wrestling, you have to use your opponents weight to your advantage. Let's take back our country!

1. Here's a good one to start with:
http://www.horizonbooks.com/Horizon%20Books%20Traverse%20City.htm

They're in Traverse City and Borders came to town to try to shut them down. They're still standing.
