May 1 closures: who to boycott? Rallies (Live thread)

05/01/06

[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!

"EAT AT TACO BELL"

I won't eat at Taco Bell ever again.

I don't use debit or credit cards and Taco Bell recently started not accepting my check. (I pressume to many illegals bouncing them)

I will be darned if I am going to go cash a check at another place just to be able to eat at Taco Bell.

Do we need a Mexican cooking/recipe thread? :)

My neighbor (they're LEGAL Mexican immigrants) make the very best tamales in the world. Salmon and spinich with a celantro cream sauce. I'd pay SERIOUS money for that recipe but she's not selling :o)

Excellent, and thanks very much for the number!

Here's mine:

I am angry over what I perceive to be a Crisis in our country. Illegal means just that. They do not have the right to assemble as an American citizen. First seal our border's. Make the employer's pay such as Tyson and Cargill,Hormel, Seboard etal who knowingly hire illegals. Give them the same wage minimum that Mexico does and they will stop using our country as a job market.They are coming here 'demanding' things from us. They are changing our Star Spangled Banner and making it inciteful. They are trying to intimidate , as a bully does, the Congress to enact laws the way they see it is owed to them. Wake Up America!!!

Not sure if this link has been posted- and I haven't had time to really check it out, but thought it might be of interest to FReepers:

The theory is that the illegals may have an impact on one day, but the rest of us have an impact on the other 364.

The site is at www.boycott364.com.

Great info. Thanks.

The scene is pretty hilarious here in the middle of Communist central in downtown San Fran. All of the "illegals" are out yelling on the street in front of Citibank. Why Citi? WTFK. Citi didn't employ any illegals last time I checked, except maybe the cleaning people. Anyway, they are standing around with signs, students with nothing better to do, and the commie symps that show up at every rally.

None of the business people are paying them any attention. And I received excellent service at Starbucks - better than usual at peak coffee time. So I guess they don't employ any illegals either.

It's a wonderful warm sunny day - I'm going to eat lunch outside and watch these idiots make fools of themselves.

Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays. Tell them you wish them Happy Israel Independence Day or National Prayer Day this week.

"Immigrants are boycotting them for wages, non union pay, etc. So go to Taco bell. It is American owned and operated."

Our oldest daughter, the one going to U Wis works at one. I'll be anxious to get her observations of today's boycott from out there.

Look at the bright side; stop eating at Taco Bell and you'll likely live longer. That stuff is nasty! :)

Damn Canadian illegals! Ever since Shania Twain has arrived its nothing but Canadian humor, horrendous socialist ideas. and cold climate prudery...

For the record, I love my hispanic brothers. I work along side them all day long. When they mouth off at how white people are lazy, I flex my sweaty tanned arm next to their flacid light skin and ask, "who's the lazy whitey, amigo?" They laugh and say not me. Anyway, I have a deep respect for the people and culture. The problem is that there are groups within the community that are agitating for treason. And well, that pisses me off as it does for most of my hispanic friends. I heard a guy last night at a restaurant say: "This whole demonstration is bull3#it. I don't want the INS on my back. I'm just trying to earn a living quietly."

Funny the people in my neighborhood also are getting their lawn care done, but then again they are not beginning until noon CST

[weegee]

My side of the argument? Which argument is that?

Against communist led rallies against "the war", "the administration", "the laws of this nation"?

Against illegal immigration? Against racist "La Raza" protest movements claiming this continent as birthright and demanding that those of European heritage leave?

Illegals, Happy Communist Day

Now go home!

Knowing full well the socialist connection to May 1 and the original May Day celebrations (for spring) I saw somewhere that May 1 is internationally considered Labor Day. The dupes and leftist stooges either don't realize America does not utilize an 'international' day to celebrate the working day or they are more than happy to expose their socialist selves. America recognizes a day that recognizes working American citizens.

Just saw a poster here in Chicago:

Minutemen your Minute is up!

We (as children) made signs about Mary and decorated our bikes and pulled little floats and had parades around the local neighborhood where the church was honoring Mary and it was called "Up with Mary Day". We did it every year that I can remember. (this was back in the 60s and 70s).

...short report from California's Capitol.

Traffic was normal driving in today (it usually flies if I come in on a holiday or during Christmas week). The halls are ghostly empty as the "majority" are staying home from work.

The crowd is beginning to gather on the West Steps

Republican legislators will be holding a joint press conference at 11:00 PST outside the locked chamber doors where we will talk about some of California's problems and how we are ready to get to work.

I'll report back here if it gets raucous outside.

I havent noticed many businesses closed, except the Day Labor center, which claims to not have many people there...jeez I wonder why?....and I did notice the parking lot of Concentra Medical was empty (when usually it's full).

One thing was mentioned on the talk radio program this morning, is that all these people out there boycotting and not shopping on Monday, will have to do shopping SOMETIME. So either that upped the sales this past weekend, or will up the sales this week, which will therefore kind of make today's "not shopping" activities pointless. Wouldn't ya think?
