May 1 closures: who to boycott? Rallies (Live thread)
05/01/06

Posted on 04/30/2006 9:38:02 PM PDT by Heartofsong83

This should be a list of who is planning to close their business on Monday, May 1 in response of the Great American Boycott. We should compile it and boycott them ourselves if possible!

Remember to go shopping or work overtime on May 1!

Flags of Aztlan

The warrior flag of Aztlan

Flag of La Raza


Here's some flags to plant atop your Maypole. This demonstration is not an innocent Maypole celebration--Viva reconquista!

Was it a predominantly Catholic area, as May 1 was celebrated as Mary Day (if I remember correctly), and the kids would have a parade around the Catholic church and local neighborhood.

I called Tyson. Wondered if they plan to give any Irish or Italian person a day off with pay to celebrate St. Patrick's Day or Columbus Day? Told them I will no longer buy their products and pass the word about how their Company supported an anti-American uprising.

Excellent. Well done. I'm going to call them today. (Is there a 1-800 number, by any chance?)

Great. Email your address book and ask them to stop buying Tyson Foods and to pass it on.

These guys have enough influence that if we can hurt them the word will get out and we might get some clout.

I never even came CLOSE to saying that, sully.

All I said was that the day ITSELF was not the problem........it's what has been done to it that is.

I just called Don Pablos (just down the road 1/2 mile) and they're open today- although I'm not sure if it's owned and/or run by Mexicans.

The gal who answered the phone said I was the 3rd person who had called asking that question this morning!

And do not forget that Don Tyson was a major FOB, and supported the serial rapist bastard. I haven't knowingly had a bite of a Tyson product since the Toon administration.

Wouldn't it be great if the DOW surpassed its all time high? Today: Dow 11,403.24 36.10 (0.32%)

All time high = 11,700. It would require a huge rally, too bad we didn't think of this sooner to organize a rally.

Here's two boycott supporters:
Wasatch Beers (in Utah)
Gallo Wines

Both are closing down for the boycott according to this news link:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/04/30/immigration.boycott.ap/index.html

Greg Schirf
Owner
Wasatch Beers
http://www.wasatchbeers.com/contact.html

Gallo's Contact Page
http://jobs.gallo.com/Contact_CR.asp

I would guess that Wasatch Beers would be a fairly easy to counter target because it is a small brewery. I never heard of them but I emailed both companies yesterday and let them know they were permanently off my buy list.

Forgive me, as you were marking May Day as innocent. My parents taught me that May Day was co-opted by the communist. The demonstrations held today are funded by the communists. I was merely pointing out that this is nothing more than a typical front. Wouldn't be surprised there is face painting for the children as they hold placards saying, "DON'T TAKE MY DADDY AWAY."

ColdHeat was the other intended receiver of the post.

Shun the boycott BUMP

Greet the clerks with "Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays". That ought to have them scratching their heads.

Holidaze this week include Communist May Day (May 1), Isreal's Independence Day (May 3), National Day Of Prayer (May 4), and Cinco de Maio (Mayo 5). While you may not "personally" embrace any/all of these holidays, it is PC to strip them of their name and just refer to this as a holiday season.

When I was growing up we used to deliver Maybaskets on this day. We couldn't wait for it!

Usually the night before would be spent making our Maybaskets which would consist of anything from construction paper cones to styrofoam cups decorated with spring-themed stickers. Then we'd use a pipecleaner as the basket handle, and fill it with candy and popcorn.

We'd leave the baskets on our friends' doorsteps, ring the bell and run!

Ahhh those were the days!

They are trying to screw with the Bush economy.

Old concept too. I remember in my economics class, some decades old protest plan to trigger a run on banks by getting many people to withdraw their money all on the same day.

The Communists never give up.

This demonstration is not an innocent Maypole celebration

No, it is a demonstration against some very stupid reactionary hyperbole emanating from various groups who are not normally aligned and the "right" has jumped into it with both feet, as they did with Schiavo, Miers, social security and the ports deal.

It makes us all look stupid, and has destroyed the base of the party which will certainly cause reversals at the polls.

Secondly, it simply interlocks with what is normally a day of parties and back yard BBQ's and much of the rest of the country, even without the issue.....

I find the verbal hyperbole and invectives issued against May Day and Mexicans to be stupid, dangerous and apparently a continuation of what is more knee jerking from the right wing. (a once fairly considerate and non-reactionary group of people)

So now you have justified all the silly and debasing things that the left alway tars us with, and this is not a good day, or a good 2 years for the Republican Party as a direct result.

The "Backlash" will certainly be forthcoming and I can't think of a more deserving group of outofcontrol politically ignorant conservatives..

This is not what we are about.

I think you're right. I was looking at info thats older and the owner of Taco bell is American. The parent company may be Pepsi, but I dont know if they have a separate President.

But I think boycotting companies that hire illegals is a catch-22. IMO giving them a BOOM of business on the day their workers fail to show will send a real message.

But companies like Taco Bell don't hire illegal aliens, do they?

From San Diego/Chula Vista:

If what my neighbors are doing is any indication of what "normal" Mexican-Americans are doing, the Marcha Grande isn't happening. The dads went to work. The moms took the kids to school. On top of that, there are 2 Mexican handymen working in the apartments across the driveway from me. I've seen one taco shop closed so far.

News reports are showing a quiet scene down in San Ysidro. One real Mexican guy was interviewed on the TJ side & he basically said he doesn't care about the protesters. I'm hoping to have an easy drive on the freeway today.

The GOP base wants borders enforced. The majority of Americans want the unchecked reconquista to end. It's a vocal minority that wish to make an issue and demonstrate. It's a vocal minority that wants to ignore constitutionally mandated rules on enforcement of US sovereignty. It's a vocal minority that is using spin to call all of us racists (a joke to say the least).

Am I talking to a WH operative here? George is that you?

I put over $50 worth of Mobil gas into my SUV this morning.

While pumping the gas, I saw a typical illegal alien yard crew pull into the station. The usual "crowd" was standing around and I saw a beautiful thing.

The Hispanic foreman of this job crew was fighting with another guy in Spanish who was refusing to work today.

The foreman told him in Spanish:

"Never get in one of my trucks again! If you want to go hang out with the "lazies" (I can't say what he really said!) that's your choice! But don't come to me for work anymore you "lazy"! "

I almost laughed out loud.
