Where your legal status and your legal tender meet.
On Monday May 1st, while Latino activists are encouraging other Latinos to walk out on their jobs and boycott spending in any Southland businesses, we want you to do the exact opposite. SPEND, SPEND, AND SPEND!
To reward you and your financial patriotism, KFI AM 640 and the John and Ken show will be reimbursing you for your legal citizen-spending spree.
On Monday May 1st, fax or email a copy of a receipt for something you purchased on May 1st 2006 and it will go into a drawing. Twice an hour during their show (3-7PM) John and Ken will go into the special “winds of change booth” that will blow the receipts around allowing John and Ken to choose just one.
The winners will be reimbursed up to $640 per receipt.
Fax RECEIPTS To (818) 260-9968 OR Email To Promotions@KFIAM640.com
So put your money where your mouth is in The Great American Spend-a-Lot!
Receipts sent to The John and Ken Show’s email address will be disqualified
yooo.... hoooooooo...
Norm, you are WONDERFUL!!!
Yo! HiJinx! Lookie here! ;)
I was just gonna do that! :)
Beatcha!
Jinxie....while you're pinging the crowd, you may want to link kfi640 to this thread. If people are on here before John & Ken are off the air, they're playing the mexican version of OUR Star Spangled Banner.
It's enough to make your blood boil.
Excellent! The more the word gets out, the more the American citizens will rumble. I'd love to see the stores PACKED on May Day. It would be known as the great American "Screw you guys".
I'd like to encourage people to do the flip side of spending at OPEN businesses on Monday.
On Monday, if you find a business closed, please STOP SPENDING THERE FOR A WEEK. Let them know that you do not appreciate their support of illegal activity and will show it by denying them your business.
Is the point of this day to generate a high sales tax day or to generate more money transactions?
(For instance, trading stocks and paying bills electronically will move lots of money, and grocery food shopping or buying prescription drugs are new purchases, but they won't increase sales tax revenues.)
Some smaller restaurants regularly close on Mondays, since they can't rest on weekends.
Golpeo Hasta Arriba!!!!
I wonder if you can fax the same receipt in multiple times? Also, is this give-away open only to "legal citizens"?
A week? My memory is not that short, for me it will be a forever boycott.
Some businesses don't have a choice but to close if most (or no) workers show up. I think an automatic, knee-jerk reaction that said business owners condone the boycott would not be wise.
LOL. It would be a real bitch if a foreign invader got the freebie!
"Oh no! What now? What now?"
Then the business owners should not have been hiring illegals in the first place! (It is against the law, after all.)
you follow your policy, I'll follow mine.
I'll be spending about $500 bucks on Monday. Too bad I purchased my car last month.
It's a free country - no one can stop you from making mistakes.
