This list sickens me -

It also enforces what we have been saying.

We are buying the rope from they that they will use to hang us.

The companies on that list are so numberous and so entangled with our lives - we can't boycott them all at one time.

Hence, the idea of one large industry at a time.

We must keep the pressure on poultry for the month of May - and we need to get the word out.

We can go after one large industry at a time - just one at a time.

Then do as much with the others as you can - but biggie - altogether - and all at once.

The companies on that list are so numberous and so entangled with our lives - we can't boycott them all at one time.

The people who have signed the Open Letter Petition are committed to boycotting ALL of them. But the monthly focus is available for those who cannot commit to the General Boycott for whatever reason.

Here's another company that can be added to the list for later. MSNBC aired an article about this a little while ago, so I did some research. The news story actually comes from late March. It's on their website under the name of Immigrants impact America’s heartland. The parent company is called Smithfield Foods, but the subsidiary that apparently hires the illegals is Farmland Foods in Denison, Iowa. The news story said that the town of Denison is 25% "Hispanic" but about 60% of the workers hired by Farmland Foods are "Hispanic." Farmland has a website where they talk about their Farmland brand and Farmland Foodservice and also their Carando brand name. The news article makes it clear that at least some of the residents of Denison believe that Farmland Foods hires illegals, and that's good enough for me.

If Farmland Foods is too narrow a focus, its parent company, Smithfield, has a web page entitled Where Our Products Are Sold that lists all the different brand names of their subsidiaries. Some of them are familiar:

PORK
Smithfield
John Morrell & Co.
Farmland Foods, Inc.
Patrick Cudahy
North Side Foods
Quik-to-Fix
Cumberland Gap Provision
Smithfield RMH Foods Group
Stefano Foods

BEEF
Smithfield Beef Group

INTERNATIONAL
Animex, Poland
Jean Caby Group, France
Campofrío, Spain
Norson, Mexico*
Smithfield Foods Ltd., U.K.
AFG China

Anyway, there's another candidate for the crosshairs.

DcSa.

I hope you make an announcement which one we are boycotting, so we can all be on the same page.

April and May 2006 - Poultry Industry
May and June 2006 - McDonalds and Burger King.
June and July 2006 - Run on Banks
July and August 2006 - Boycott all Restaurants that use illegal workers.


This was posted on page two of this thread, Darlene. But I'll put it here in case others missed it.

You'll be laughing all the way South where you BELONG

Does anyone have a list of Banks/Credit unions in SD that cater to illegal aliens? Oh, and since my husband and I stopped eating out so much, bypassing the mentioned fastfood joints won't be a problem at all.

Bearpaw, look on the boycott list for banks. I know for sure that three of them are:

Bank of America
Chase
CitiBank

Citibank has beau coodles of disguises to hide behind like: Citicorp, CitiGroup, etc. So if it starts with Citi, it's a safe bet that they deserve to be boycotted. Sometimes we can't sever ties like mortgages, CD's etc at the drop of hat but we can certainly refrain from opening any new accounts and move the ones we can move.
