Boycott amazon.com.

Top 10 Reasons to Avoid Amazon.com

"Many people know Amazon.com through the convenient and affordable services it provides.

But if you investigate its record, you’ll find that Amazon.com is a bad corporate citizen. It’s time for those of us who are sick of how corporations like Amazon.com are running roughshod over our democracy—crushing unions, driving mom-and-pop shops out of business, evading taxes, and selling its customers’ private information to other companies— to take our money elsewhere."

A boycott list is necessary because a boycott is worthless without a large number of people participating. There are many companies that deserve to be boycotted. Wall street isn't ruining this country by themselves. The multi-national corporations that buy every branch of our government deserves some blame to. Take the money away from them and one day they might not be able to afford our politicicans.

As to gas, some of us have no choice. I may be wrong, but I've heard that Hess and Sunoco are more environmentally responsible than the others and they don't give money to political campaigns or lobbyists. If someone could confirm all or some of that I'd appreciate it.

Why is a boycott list needed? Boycott whoever you want to.
