So boycotting is an act of terrorism. but we should engage in a boycott ourselves? That's a fine piece of thinking.
"And now we've heard the illegals are going to ply their pressure toward patriotic voices such as Lou Dobbs, no doubt more to come, in an effort to silence America during her mugging. "
Anyone have info about contacting CNN to stand up for Dobb's? Let's all support Dobb's if it wasn't for the truth being told by him alone, we would have lost America to the criminals. IF CNN silences Dobb's we need to boycott CNN and all their advertisers.
I plan to drive around my city and take names of businesses closed on May 1st. On May 2nd, I will call to inquire as to the reason the business was closed. If I am told that it has anything whatsoever to do with the boycott, whether in support or otherwise, I will advise them that I will NOT do business with them.
I live in FLOC/AFL-CIO territory, Toledo Ohio. They represent 10,000 migrant workers and the county accepts the Mexican I.D. card. It is impossible to know who is and isn't legal and FLOC leadership has stated that NW Ohio has 'thousands and thousands' of 'undocumented workers'.
"I'd like to hire your contracting business, but first I want to know--do you hire only legal help? I do not wish to aid and abet in lawbreaking--"
Lou sends the results of his nightly Polls to Washington, and for that alone, they want him gone.

Wow what an impressive Blog!
Thanks for all the links on your Blog, if I may I will use a few.
While trying to find out if there are protests (not just boycotts) planned for May 1st in my neighborhood, I just came across this website: http://www.nohr4437.org/
According to their information, we aren't just talking a few restaurant closings along the border. They have posted closings:
Port of Los Angeles
Date: May 1
La Collectiva del Troqueros del Puerto
E-Mail: ejnevarez@sbcglobal.net
12,000 Troqueros working the Port and local rails will shut down and congregate at Banning Park. Solidarity from most other Ports in the nation expected.
and this must be the language they use to indoctrinate our young people. (note the call for NO american flags!):
On May 1st we are calling on students and workers of all races to join in a day of resistance. We call on those with documents and those without to stand together in solidarity. Together we will walk out of our schools. The schools where we are trained how to be obedient, how to follow orders, and how to become docile sheep. We will walk out of our jobs. The jobs that rob and exploit us, the jobs with racist bosses, jobs where our hard work goes to make them rich. We will walk out against the racist legislation in Washington, against the racist minutemen, against the entire racist capitalist system that exploits all workers and students.
We will walk out against the war that preys on people of color and the poor, where our sons and daughters, sisters and brothers are dying in a fight that is not even theirs. We will walk out for the hundreds of innocent people murdered by the LAPD in the streets of LA, for every cop who has pulled over a kid just cause s/he is black or brown, for every swing of that racist baton, we will walk out. We will walk out in defiance of the false boarders that divide us from our friends and family, and the laws that criminalize our very existence. We will walk out and just like on March 25th , the streets will be ours. The city will stop. We will walk out and our voices will be heard!
*Wear black in solidarity with all the immigrants being detained in US prisons and the thousands who have died crossing the border
*Please no American flags
*More details to be announced
No Boarders! No Bosses!
Si Se Puede!
- If someone asks about the flag you wave, tell the person you carry it to express cultural and ethnic pride, not to show allegiance to any government.
- Be wary of any informational forum held by police, schools, or government agencies. They want to mislead you with political jargon and empty promises. Don't fall for it!
Sorry to get off topic, just wanted you all to know what we are up against, if you don't already! Perhaps there should be a thread just for updates to this kind of information.
Thanks for the ideas.
