Tell people to call General Electric Corporation, a war contractor and Republican contributor, at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department and tell the person, I will not buy any General electric products until the GE CEO gets George W Bush to end the occupation and war in Iraq and then resigns with Cheney.

If you will do this reply directly to this message YES in the subject.

2. GE could not care less about consumer threats

A few people not buying lightbulbs and toasters vs. defense contracts?

Give me a break!

4. not just toasters:

Areospace technology, in vitro and diagnostic technologies, wind turbines, plastics, electric cars, hydropower turbines, solar power panels, finacing services...
Take a look at just some of GE: http://www.ge.com/en/product/business/productaz.htm

8. i know that -

but a consumer boycott as you suggest does not touch the big ticket stuff - that was my point

[liberal N proud]

3. Do you know how important you and I are to GE?

They would just as soon squash us like a bug as listen to us. The junk they sell us is nothing compared to the no-bid contracts their buddies in DC are handing them to fuel an illegal war.

They simply don't care.

5. Making the phone call will probably involve some aspect of GE's business

So, no.

[GeorgeGist]

6. Unless you work for a large organization...

and make their purchasing decisions, I don't think GE will give you the time of day.

[liberaldemocrat7]

7. not if thousands of people call each day.

GE will begin reacting if thousands of people call them and telling them they will not buy their products.
