Buy Blue.Org: There is a more powerful act than voting blue.

You may have voted blue, but were you aware that every day you unknowingly help dump millions of dollars into the conservative war chest? Simply by buying products and services from companies which heavily donate to conservatives, we have been defeating our own interests as liberals and progressives on a daily basis.

This looks like a powerful way to make a statement.

2. The problem is that they don't do a one to one choice thing...

I'd love to not shop at Home Depot for any number of reasons, not the least of which is their "red" donations. But honestly what is the choice? Sears? Same deal. And I live in a fairly well populated, well stocked suburban NJ area where there are no shortage of stores of all shapes and sizes. But for most of what I need for home repair, the local hardware store just doesn't carry it. I can't imagine how it must be in places where they don't have these options. At least 50% of the time I can go with the better alternative when it comes to shopping.

5. We tried to buy as much as possible from...

Bed, Bath, and Beyond, as well as Barnes and Noble.

Some stuff, we couldn't help but buy from elsewhere, but we definitely tried to support blue.
