All of our boycotts so far have been too general. I suggest we pick a single product of an advertiser. We spread the word and don't buy that product. There are vulnerable sponsers we can attack with specific products. I think we need to focus on a specific product.

Let's start with Starbucks. I'm tired of paying four dollars for a simple cup of coffee anyway.

I've been boycotting Starbuck's since those bums charged the police and rescue crews for water DURING 9-11 in New York.

I have avoided the MSM for several months now, so I have no idea who or what would be a common sponsor. Any suggestions?

I explained my plan unlike Kerry.

I hate to tell everyone this, but based on case studies, product boycotts backfire more than they help their cause. How many of us watched more cBS to see what Blather would say next? Did cBS's numbers drop because of the boycott, or because people were disgusted?
What works more is based on the recent Sinclair model, investor boycotts. You cannot just say you will not buy a product, you have to hit their share price. It shows negative numbers faster. Generally, stock sell-offs have a rolling effect that causes other shareholders to sell off based on preset stop loss limits.
To be really successful in any sort of boycott, it must hit where it hurts the fastest, stock value.
