2. I'm not much of an organizer, but if it makes you feel better |
|
I've already been boycotting their greedy asses. I've also given much info to my family and friends, a lot of who are now also boycotting.

I think this is just one of the red state horror shows that can be directly affected by us.
If we have such differences in moral values, why not boycott them.

4. I'm part of an ongoing and permanent boycott of Walmart. |
|
2 years without Walmart or Sam's. One week is not enough.

6. Most of us already boycott them. |
|
We need to have much more involvement to make them take any notice, and you are asking that the same people that voted Bunny back in to give up their temple of greed.

9. I banned Wal-Mart four years ago.. |
|
I also banned all credit cards, all major businesses that I knew donated heavily to repubs, I even quit smoking not for my health..but because that's how badly I wanted to send a message to corporate america. I've actually become quite the minimalist and I like it.
Anyway, I'm afraid I've done all I can when it comes to Wal-Mart, but I'll be rooting for you!

12. Not just in the blue states and not for one week |
|
but for now on. Walmart is a poster child for what is wrong with corporate America.

13. Or if you really have to go... |
|
make sure you screw up the shelves, tags, and displays. Anyone who has worked retail knows what chaos even one missing SKU or mis-shelved item can cause. Trust me - from a small town nearly sucked dry by a big Walmart - they deserve it.

18. as someone on another thread sugggested |
|
Fill up a cart, then just walk off.
Be sure to put the potato chips and cookies on the bottom.
That's just the regular Wal-Marts. Think of all the melting ice cream, etc., in one of their super stores. :)

For those not aware of it, there are boycott walmart meetups. The Detroit chapter organizes occasional protests and hands out fliers to people. http://boycottwalmart.meetup.com/They have a two sided flier online that you can print and cut into three copies: http://www.ideamouth.com/politics/walmartflyer.pdf

16. I have not been in Walmarts for over three years. |
|
How can I organize a ban? For years, I have advocated normalization with Cuba, and my Republican friends scoff at me for supporting a repressive communist dictatorship. Yet every week end they are at Walmarts, buying, buying, buying. Sending their money to communist China. What is up with that?
