One thing I'm doing to combat the RW takeover
I called my dentist's office, cancelled my appointment next week and informed them that I'm searching for a new dentist. Why? Because he had right wing signs on the lawn in front of his office. I will not allow a man who is openly rw to provide care for me and my family.
Across the river, in Illinois, a guy named Bobby Schilling won due in lage part to lies spread by the rw. He owns a pizza joint. I ain't eating there. Ever. I wil call the establishment and tell them why. These fuckers worship nothing but money. So they will not get any of mine.

5. Great idea...hit them where it hurts. And I suggest we do what many have done in the past...
...and that is any business we walk into that as Faux Snooze on the TV, we request a channel change and they refuse, walk out and let them know why.

6. I'm sort of thinking of going John Galt
I am gonna shrug out of my volunteer obligations like Kiwanis and the Water board. The voters have spoken. Selfishness rules. So who am I to fight it?

8. No matter how he apologized I will not forget Target and will
never shop there again. We can all start looking at the name of the company on the products we buy. And it may not be much but we can get satisfaction know that we are not supporting the corporate billionaires, who got there because unknowingly we used to buy their products.
