Congratulations for all of your good work! Keep up the good fight. HOWEVER, as a citizen sympathetic to all of your concerns, I have been amazed and disappointed that I have not yet heard the word "boycott". Boycott, the most powerful political tool ever known to man; the tool that founded this nation, the tool that gave India back its nation. When will we hear the word" boycott? All we have to do is use the word boycott and target just one, just one, lawless corporation and destroy it, and we will be well on our way to a just and fair nation. Press on!

To be honest, I don't believe a Boycott has to be formalized. I'm sure that most of us know who the 'bad' people are when it comes to consumer products and stores.

For example, I closed both my BoA business account and my Chase personal account and switched everything over to my local credit union. I refuse to shop at Walmart and prevent my girlfriend from doing the same. We buy everything local, including food, as best as possible and avoid eating at most big chain 'restaurants'.

Again, I'm sure many have taken similar steps as myself.
