Buy Blue

Since we know this is now total war against some of the nastiest, most self-righteous, most hypocritical right-wing nuts the world has ever seen, it's only fair that we be able to protest with our dollars. Now they are acting as if people are trying to stop them from saying "Merry Christmas" to each other. Huh? A new websites tells you which companies contribute heavily to the Republican party and what products they sell, and which companies have true values. As the website says, "If each American who voted "Blue" in 2004 spends $100 in 2005 on products of a corporation that by reason of its employees' or connected political action committees' political contributions supported "Blue" over "Red," $5 billion in revenues would be shifted to "Blue" supporting corporations! This will be noticed! Choose where you buy ... and make a difference!!!"
