There are an estimated 242,542,967 adults in the US as of 2013. 70 percent identify as Christian.

If one half or even one quarter supported this what would be the impact?

It would require a small sacrifice on our part, but would send an important message.

Boycotts don’t work.

Remember the left’s “not one damn dime” day? It caused laughter and derision.

No thanks.

We need a list of them? Or a list to go too, whichever is smaller.

Why limit the boycott to July 4th?

I am in for all of July month. I was not even born in a Christian family. But I can tell the difference between naturally good and abhorrently sick behavior.

But since your math doesn’t equal reality, it’s a mute point. If 70% were TRUE Christians, this would work, but since eBay, Amazon, Apple, Target, Walmart, on and on and on keep taking sides, obviously the 70% are more bark than bite.

That’s pretty much ALL businesses, so I’ll stay at home all day and eat what’s in the pantry to give you my support.

I’m not a symbolic person. I started eating at Chik-fil-A during the failed gay boycott, and I still eat there when I’m eating fast food. I started boycotting gay-activist businesses years ago, and I will continue to do so forever. A one-day boycott doesn’t do it for me.

Great question. I try to avoid them always.

The only boycott that will work is a targeted one of a small to medium sized company.

Pick one company to teach a lesson. One small enough and operating close enough to the margins that a nationwide targeted boycott could really do some damage.

Have all conservatives in media, internet, radio, and politics concentrate ONLY on that one company.

Blanket boycotts against Coke, Pepsi, Ford, Home Depot, Walmart, etc etc all at the same time will never work.

Resistance that is meaningful will take time with all the hypocrites like myself out there working on the housecleaning of our lives.

Evil times are coming because the “Good People” like the millions you describe as followers of Jesus, never were following him to begin with.....

On the 4th of July it wouldn't have any impact. Many businesses are overwhelmed with too much volume, so it probably wouldn't even affect their bottom line.

I'm focused on the censorship issue. Amazon or anyone else who takes away my right to buy a Confederate flag if I so choose is depriving us one of our most basic freedoms. How can I buy reading materials, movies, or music from them with confidence anymore? Any choices they give me have been approved according to their political leanings.

I’m thinking we should begin a national movement to demand that all federal employees work during the Christmas holiday break. There are too many (beginning with the current POTUS and Congress) who don’t believe in that sacred event, but enjoy the time off work. They should be made to work. Stop making Christmas a USA-sanctioned holiday — only observed by Christians. Christians can take vacation days. Only Christian vendors should be allowed to sell decorations and gifts for Christmas. The same theory for Easter.

A one day boycott a week away? This is silly. If you really believe in your conviction, you would have instantly and permanently boycotted these companies long ago.

For years, Ford Motor Company, Target, JC Penny, Macy's, Coke, Ben and Fairies have promoted gay / lesbian sexuality, and I have nothing to do with them. Do they care that they lost me as one insignificant customer? Maybe more than one customer? Maybe thousands? Who knows? I don't care.

The calendar in His sky and in His Word shows Pope Gregory July 4th will actually be the 17th day of our Father’s 4th month- the 2nd day of His week..Genesis tells us what He did on His 2nd day.
According to scripture, it is a work day.. Not holy at all..

That may be a problem that is fundamental to what is happening in the world.

believers accepting the false premises of the wrong powers and principalities allowing them to set what is a ‘Holy day’ and what isnt when the scriptures and the Son set them by His very life.

Yup. People are either in it for attention, or can’t see beyond their nose.
