BOYCOTT WALMART AND TARGET NOW!

[metisnation]

Sears-Kmart on the way..think about it Craftsman! MADE IN THE USA! Support your local manufacturers and show that it can be profitable to make American goods and unhook the feeding tube from these quasi military manufactures into guaranteed quality DOMESTIC tools. the more tools that made domestically the more high skill high paying jobs. the more you make the more the government collect as a proportionate percentage we both win. I can't wait until I can shop at somewhere that actually supports our domestic labor. I hate filling my cart up with brutalistic communistic slave labor goods and you should too!

:kick:

1. I already don't shop at Wal Mart

[Vincardog]

3. Why not protest WALMART? End the slave labor. Shopand buy AMERICAN

[metisnation]

13. Buying American is Patriotic

These are high paying blue collar jobs and the backbone of our economy the more American goods that we buy the lower the costs, I am confident in saying that a solid effort on this can help alleviate tax burdun or upcoming shortage by building good revenue streams.

2. I've boycotted Sears ever since they pulled their ads

from 'Politically Incorrect.' Also, they own Land's End, who got Giuliani to speak to their employees in advance of the election. I will stick with Target. Not sure what I'll do about K-Mart.

5. its about money friend

the war machine is going full steam 7,000 mile and hour scram jets. after 911 the machine lost momentum to produce new goods and services..the war has kicked it up. If you want to stop the train rolling down the track you have to change fuel!

[LeftyMom]

19. Kmart is buying Sears

So there doesn't seem to be a point in punishing them for decisions made by previous ownership.

21. If we don't change the corporate influence

on the political process in this country, there will be scant few people who have a decent, high paying job. Unemployment is a problem in this country, but the erosion of good paying jobs is frightening.

Target 72% of their political contribution money goes to repugs.

K-mart 90% of their political contributions went to repugs.

4. Are you willing to pay my gas to Massachusetts so I can shop at Cosco?

Sorry, but where I live I don't have much choice where to shop. It's Wal-Mart or nowhere.

[metisnation]

6. On line

read my other post

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. You tell me you cannot find an E-tailer that will deliver

I am serious.....

Try that...

[metisnation]

10. Shop online

you just created more domestic labor for delivering the goods from American producers. another tax payer to help share the costs.

[high density]

15. Online grocery shopping?

You guys must be in a tax bracket higher than me, that's all I can say.

[metisnation]

14. Online

We all have choices now.

[sherilocks]

8. More than 70% of Sears Political Contributions

go to rethugs. Sorry, no sears for me.

[metisnation]

12. look at the big picture

DOMESTIC LABOR means more taxpayers and more revenue. If we can grow on the labor side with high paying jobs like toolmakers we will create several other jobs in the process.

[sherilocks]

20. Sears has many products to offer

I'm sure they are not all made by domestic labor. I haven't checked my local Sears store lately, but I do check anything I buy to see if it is American made. Scant few items are produced in the USA, so that doesn't move me in Sears' direction. If, as you say, all Craftsman products are made here, then I would end up buying the American made product over the imported one. But for the time being, "I'm not buying it."

16. My father worked for Sears

until he retired so our family has always done most of our shopping there cause of employee discounts and added incentives plus shopping there helped the company which ended up helping the employees. Sears has some good and bad points, I have a love-hate relationship with them. :shrug: I do hope Sears-KMart succeed because if they don't Walmart will literally really have no one that can compete against them. x(

[Deja Q]

9. Why? My friends with sams club cards do to them what they do to us:

exploit.

It's all a silly dog-eat-dog game in this world.

Always was.

Is.

Always will be.

The Bible's new testament couldn't do it.

All in the Family couldn't do it.

Hippies couldn't do it.

We can't do it.

Anybody else who tries to do it will fail at some point.

Besides, most items are made from slave sweatshop labor. Wearing any clothes, for example?

[metisnation]

11. Make a effort

stop and think about it Halliburton HELLO! Shop at CostCo if you can.

17. Self-delete

Wrong thread

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. I don't shop at Wal Mart or Target

And the K Marts in San Antonio are all gone I think.

[flygal]

22. Why Target? I thought they gave more to Dems than Reps?

I worked for Sears once and hated it. They were all repugs in Management and no one was allowed full time b/c they didn't want to pay benefits. That was 10 years ago, not sure if it's changed.

[Mend]

27. Target Ousted the bellringers with their pots

I won't boycott them....sears can bite me...they are repuke donors.

[timtom]

23. Whilst everyone is concerned about drygoods stores

like KMART, for example, I looked up grocery stores on opensecrets and found that ALL the major food stores contributed VERY heavily to Repukes!

This is staggering! What are our options? I am willing to come up with alternatives, but even the most ardent mainstream Democrats, who might not even be aware of this site, would be hard pressed to leave their comfort zone in grocery shopping. But that's what it's gonna take. The 50% (+/-) of conscientious Americans must embrace the fact that, in order to break the stranglehold of corporatism, we must adopt new lifestyles.

Who is ready to use bicycles for 90% of their local daily travel?

29. Aldi's.

Great store. Has everything you need for much cheaper. :hi:

[bklyncowgirl]

30. I absolutely love Aldi's . I believe they're German run.

Check it out. Great prices and their home brands are usually terrific.

[tsuki]

24. The trick is not the store, it is where the product is made.

I bought Toyota trucks for my business. I really don't care where the profit goes, but both of my trucks are built in Indiana by Hoosiers who know what they are doing. Great Trucks.

I dumped the assembled in Mexico Chrysler I had.

[RebelOne]

25. I will not boycott Target.

There is one very close to my house. I do all my grocery shopping there because they have the best prices in my area.

[matcom]

26. TARGET??????

they are a (by and large) a DEM company!

Walmart - haven't been in one in years
Target? - EXCELLENT quality on most goods, good sales, clean stores, happy employees.

get your shit straight before posting.

i LIVE at my Target and will continue to do so. KMart is SHIT

[Krupskaya]

31. Target is making noises about busting unions.

The UFCW has been trying to get in to the SuperTargets, where they have grocery stores. While Target has not actively been trying to bust them, they do make noises about it from time to time. I keep them on notice. They build union and that helps my family. But if they do ANYTHING to keep the UFCW out, I will stop shopping there. I do not buy food there, either -- I shop at a union grocery store.

28. So are you boycotting because they sell foreign made products or

because of the way they treat their employees. I boycott Walmart b/c of the way they treat their employees and the communities. Every store sells foreign products. Why not concentrate on purchasing those that are Made in the USA, rather than a broad boycott or call for support based on a single product line? http://www.usstuff.com/prodlist.htm
