Foreign Automobiles

15of my family members are dependent upon Americas auto industry... 12 are Blue collsr types.... (factory rats)

boycotting is one of the last tools of the people.

I've participated in the boycotting of local stores and we have had a good success rate.

Oh my, just remembered something else I have boycotted so long I forgot that I do it. NAME LABELS. I have a serious pet peeve with over charging for anything, just because it has a certain label on it. Most of the time they are actually lower in quality.

I boycott Walmart, because the staff is unhelpful, the place is ghettofied, and I do not like the type of people I usually find in there. They are just too ghetto for me to adjust to, and usually looking for trouble.

Walmart. I would never ever shop at Walmart. Sadly though, the parking lot is always full.
