Is there a list of companies to avoid dealing with due to mis-use of bailout money, sending jobs overseas, unethical business practices and so on...?

Thanks everyone. I have a private plan for myself: make my own damn lattes, shop at goodwill and yard sales (my kids will hate me), my money is already in a credit union, but DAMN, just bought a Ford...

I posted this earlier, but really didn't garner any response. If we claim the highest deduction amount on our taxes and refuse to pay at filing until demands are met, is this even feasible? If it's part of the movement?

just look at any manufacturing firm that is being traded publically

Almost all major banks have done all of these things. When the government has passed legislation aimed at curtailing deceptive practices, the banks have simply changed policies to make the same amount of money in other ways. For example, BoA and others charging the debit card fee to make up for revenues lost to changes in the rules of what they can charge merchants. In my opinion, the best way to avoid the most offensive banks is to participate in Bank Transfer Day on November 5th. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=281139538577206

In California, a top fast food company that I'm not allowed to name, and Wallmart coupled funds together in '08 (millions of dollars) to run campaign commercials against a health care bill that was eventually defeated by a slim margin probably thanks to their scare tactic, "all the businesses will leave California if this passes" commercial. Analyst estimate that had they put the money into the business instead of into the commercial they could have either paid for the health care bill they campaigned against or increased wages for a number of employees, for a number of years! So you should probably add them to your list.

Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

Join

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.

Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link above, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.

Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.

Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.

The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.

Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.

So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform in the 1st link. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your Occupation & Generation.

Thanks, I hope you'll join the group in the 2nd link cited so that we can further empower ourselves, for there are always long-term alternatives to short-term problems, if we know where to find each other, right?

Yes, I sent you a private message as well with my email address as this forum is too divisive to stay on for too long a time. And, all of the conflicting information is so confusing. I look forward to hearing from you.

All of them?? LOL

yes this is probably also the right answer, if you google the company and they have outlets all across the nation, in other words not a Mom & Pop, they have probably negatively contributed to this economic problem we face.
