Take this corset and shove it: Victoria's Secret is RED!!!
Hey fellow liberals and blue staters! Feeling like you've been put over a barrel the last couple weeks? Well, take it to your wallet! There ARE BLUE companies you can buy from that donate a majority of their political contributions to the Left. Starbucks, Apple and Barnes and Noble on high! So go get that triple shot latte, i-pod, Firefox and "Godfather" box set and give Domino's pizza, California Pizza Kitchen and Dell the bird.
SHOCKER OF THE DAY: Victoria's Secret is a RED company! Witnesseth my prim boycott:
To whom it may concern:
I have, for many years, been a dedicated Victoria’s Secret shopper. I have always been impressed with your salespeople, who are among some of the friendliest and hard-working staff I’ve ever encountered. For the past seven months, I have held a Victoria’s Secret Angels credit card, and have enjoyed the various discounts it offers on your items, including a $10 Birthday certificate towards any purchase. I put mine towards a fantastic “Body by Victoria” brassiere, which I happily wear daily. All around, I think Victoria’s Secret is a great company, with great staff and well-made, affordable products.
However, my enthusiasm for Victoria’s Secret completely diminished when I learned that your company and its parent, Limited Brands, Inc., donates 84% of its political contributions to the Republican Party and its right wing agenda. As an American citizen outraged by the Bush administration’s positions on everything from social services, protections for the working class, civil rights, freedom of the press, a woman’s right over her own body and the war in Iraq, I am more than dismayed by your fiscal support of the Republican Party. I work hard for my money, and refuse to have it be funneled to such an arrogant, backwards and hate-filled agenda.
I would also like to point out the irony that Victoria’s Secret, while promoting lingerie that celebrates a woman’s pride in her sexuality, takes the money made from such promotion to fund an agenda which wishes to control what we do with our bodies, what we say in the press, what we see on television, who we have sex with and what religion we believe in. I’m not sure if the irony is lost on you, but I would have to think that if President Bush and the Right Wing had its way, your corsets, garter belts, and lace thongs might not have a market.
Because of your support of the G.O.P., I am canceling my account and will boycott your company until your contributions are documented to be at least 50-50. I will also be urging others to do so, in as public a fashion as possible.
Sincerely,
(ME)

It looks like you'll have to switch to Frederick's of Hollywood.
Yes, yes-- and all hail the fact that it is owned by a woman, not a closeted and married dude... But what's up with her lame $2000 contribution, yo? I guess selling undies for $.99 has its disadvantages.
We the undersigned demand that the Congress of the United states and the president of the United States enact a law to increase the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to extend unemployment benefits for all people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6 months even though they still seek work.
We also demand that the Congress of the United States to not privatize social security benefits in any form including taking a percentage of the social security tax and placing it in private accounts. People can already create their own pensions with money after taxes in the private sector.
We also demand that the congress make all of a person's earned income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes and remove the 88,000 dollar salary cap. This will make social security solvent for many years to come.
We pledge to boycott Walmart and call them at 800-966-6546 and demand they help in getting the above legislation enacted or we will never buy from Walmart again.
We make no statement of quality of Walmart products but we maintain the right of free speech and association and of boycotting for the purpose of persuading congress to enact this part of a progressive agenda. After all the money belongs to us and we can legally set conditions for our purchases of products and doing business with any company in the United States.
We the undersigned also demand congress and the president enact a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80 percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps or else we will not purchase products from the CVS, Eckerd, and Walgreens pharmacy chains. We make no statement of the quality of products sold by these pharmacy chains.
We pledge to Call Eckerd Pharmacy Corporate Headquarters at 800 325 3737, Call CVS Pharmacy Corporate headquarters at 888 607 4287 and Call Walgreens Pharmacy Corporate headquarters at 800 289 2273 and tell them we will not purchase any products from their drug stores but will patronize them in the future if they can get the congress to pass a prescription drug benefit as described above. If a person cannot stop buying medications from the three drug store chains,
I consider it acceptible to buy your medication from one of the chains but still refrain from buying other products from their drug stores.
We also call for the complete repeal of the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1 passed by congress in Nov 2003.
Please tell your friends, family and coworkers to sign this petition.
We do this in the spirit of peaceful resistance to a congress that refuses to enact this legislation
If you don't support what the Republicans did since they took over the House of Representatives in 1995 and don't support the Republican party's plans for this year then Join the revolution for progressive legislation and sign the petition at

Tennessee residents please make an effort to boycott the following companies I list in my boycott petition: Walmart and Eckerd,CVS, and Walgreens in your state and call Senator Frist and tell him unless he gets our agenda passed those Tennessee outlets of these chains will not get your business. You live at one of the biggest seats of power in the United States. Organize and use your purchasing power to leverage it into passing progressive legislation.

To punish the Republicans for stealing the 2000 and 2004 elections BOYCOTT Wendy's (of Ohio) restaurant chain and Outback Steakhouse (Florida) chain until the people elect Democrats as governor and secretary of State and in the majority in the legislatures. Call and email Wendy's and Outback Steakhouses, 2 big Republican Party contributors.
I call for vote by mail throughout the United States of America. This will prevent Republicans from vote suppression by skin color which happened electronicly and in person in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Demand that your state implement vote by mail with ballots easy to fill out and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican Party officials.
Spread the messages at your grocery store too by printing out the graphics and leave it in your shopping cart when you finish.
Look at this web page for other efforts.

Thank you.
How to destroy the agenda of Arnold Schwarzenegger
and advance a progessive agenda in California.
http://www.boycott-republicans.com
The following people and companies gave at least 21,000 dollars to Arnold's
campaign and recall effort in 2003. I have named some of the more consumer oriented companies meaning they sell a product to the public that people can easily boycott and buy elsewhere. I suggest people begin by gathering your legislative goals and call these companies and tell them that they helped Arnold steal the California governorship so unless they get Arnold and the legislature to pass your desired legislation you and other people will call them and tell them you will boycott them.
and now the companies that helped install Arnold.

No matter what anyone says, I read these blogs for the articles. No, really. It's not the pictures. Articles. Words and stuff.

Just for the record, I want to state that I have studied economics, and know that a $10 minimum wage is unfeasible, if not a disaster. $7 is a wee bit more durable, my cute little anonyme.
