BOYCOTT BERKELEY (start of ping list;)

[Drango]

I started to make a list of Berkeley firms to boycott. I don’t lightly believe that firms should pay the economic price for their city council views, but these firms are the enablers of one of the most repugnant regimes in our history and they unfortunately will be innocent casualties in the campaign. The city could not run without their tax dollars. Thus the boycott is on!

Obviously the German run Bayer, Berkeley’s largest corporate job source is a top choice. http://www.bayerus.com/communities/berkeley/index.html

OK how does a boycott work in practice? Let’s use sightspeed as an example. First we dig for information. Here is what 10 minuets of hunting got me. What can others dig up? http://www.sightspeed.com/business/customers

dig, dig, dig… http://digitalmediaupdate.blogspot.com/2007/10/sightspeed-open-for-business-sightspeed.html

Peter D. Csathy email: pcsathy@sightspeed.com; CEO of SightSpeed Inc. (www.sightspeed.com); …. live ….., in sunny San Diego, California; …)

Second we email all the principals. A polite letter. State our case. Ask them to leave Berkeley. Repeat. CC to the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce and the press. We FIRMLY ask them to leave Berkeley. If there is no response we escalate. Email their customers. Escalate. Perhaps we put boots on the ground and picket.

Polite, dignified and steady pressure. Times 10. Times 100. If you are interested please bump this thread or Freepmail me. Eagles up.

A side note: I don’t believe snark or extremely hot rhetoric will achieve what we want. It’s fun to blow off steam here, real fun, but the economic boycott should be above that to achieve success. There are perhaps 100 other Berkeley firms that we need to email or call. From emailing Hilton and asking them to sell the Doubletree at the Berkeley marina, to asking associations not to have a meeting at HS Lordships http://www.hslordships.com/

Let's partner with MoveAmericaForward, GOE, HotAir, LGF and others. Who’s in?

The three largest sources of tax revenue for the city of Berkeley are its auto dealerships: Toyota of Berkeley, Berkeley Honda, and McKevitt Volvo / Nissan.

I’m going to repost this from post #1. We reach out to Sergeant Seaton and take care of him if there is any blowback. Ideas anyone?

Thanks!!

I used to work at one of the stores, so was privy to the inside info.

[Tigercap]

Bump please.

Maybe the little guy should do something more about it than cringe and go home to his TV set. I thank God there are Patriots like Drango, willing to watch our troops' back.

The Marines are watching his back while "the little guy" lets this crap happen?!

Those days are gone, as are the days of protests going unanswered. Those days were the 60's and the people who chose to do nothing or didn't know enough to do something had a name or didn't realize how actions like this would affect our troops and our country had a name. It was called the Silent Majority. The Silent Majority is dead. Well, most of it anyway. I see there are hangers-on.

Declare the place outside side the protection of the US and let Dear Leader or tojo have the dammed place

Thank you and God bless you.

[StarCMC]

Bump!!

[Brad from Tennessee]

Thanks. You offer a practical vehicle for counter protest.

[3D-JOY]

Add me to your ping list, please!

Thanks.

[MountainFlower]

PING!

If you would like on or off the GOE Ping list, please FReepmail me. (I am hoping this will only post once, this time around. I read that thread and another had trouble with the same thing.)

[Monkey Face]

I’m in...I have a grandson in the Marines (return Iraq Vet) and one in the Army.

GO AMERICA!!!

Berkeley sucks rocks. It’s ALWAYS been a hotbed of communist/Marxists/whackos.

[MrEdd]

I think it’s going to hurt the little guy

The little guy voted these clowns in too. Let him vote them back out or hurt. Little guys don't get a pass on their voting behavior for being little. By my reckoning, a Lance Corporal in Iraq makes a lot less per hour than waiters in Berkeley. That is where my sympathy lies.
