    For about a month now I've boycotted both Target and Best Buy.....Best Buy was easier!! it's a long drive from my place......but Target is only 5 mins. away!! I kinda miss it, but if I start to weaken, I just think of those damn GOP'rs getting all that money.......same for Wendy's!! they're on my list too.....although I don't eat fast food very often, theirs is one place I will not go back to!!

    What are you boycotting?

    ALL fastfood needs to be boycotted. All corporations that use sweat shop 10 year old child labor who make 6cents an hour.

    This includes: Walmart Fred Meyer, Costco, Target, Best Buy, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, REI, Safeway, ALbertsons, American Eagle, Hustler, Zumiez... This list is so big is really depressing.

    If your tag says made in some asian country don't buy it. This is very hard i know, but if sales went down 40% because people bought only what they need things would change.

    Could you imagine the jobs that would be available if nothing was made over seas?

    This is a GREAT documentary on corporations. Wether they sell food or cloths, they all have the same goal. Money. It is very sad, sometimes horrifying and will make you mad. The damage all these corporations have on us and the would its self is disturbing.

    You can watch this film on YouTube, it has a few missed parts but the majority is there. It is also available on netflix. I strongly recommend.

    winco, at first glance it's amazing and everything is so cheap but then you see that the food you are about to buy is going to expire the next day

    and hospitals

    So don't eat it, but don't tell those of us who do that we shouldn't.

    Big Deal! I boycot stores like that for months, sometimes years on end.
    You want a special badge or something.

    (I guess it helps that I'm broke and got no money to spend anyway :()

    Funny thing, I was at Target Sunday, looking for just a few items. They didn't have ANY of those items in stock at all. I traveled 2 hours to shop there (and Trader Joes) and there was nothing for me to buy at Target. What a waste of time walking around the store looking for crap they didn't have. Very disappointing. Otherwise I usually boycott Target since they're so far away anyways.
