Call for a General Boycott of major Repuke contributors.
We need to look at what corporations are giving the most money to Republicans, and boycott them. Pick the top five or ten.

1. Great Idea!
My wife and I were discussing this earlier tonight, we're committed to it. Hit them where it really matters. I found this website:

http://www.opensecrets.org/parties/contrib.asp?Cmte=RPC&cycle=2004

Many of these are huge conglomerates, I'd really like to get a breakdown on what smaller companies are subsidiaries of these. I know my Citibank Mastercard is gone and my Microsoft Xbox is going to eBay. Thank god I'm a Mac user!

3. Our consumerism now becomes our strongest weapon
And the repukes pocketbooks are their weakest point. Remember what we did to Sinclair when we had an organized boycott of a Bush-fellating company. They go down......

Let's get MoveOn into this. It can and will work.
