Yeah don't buy any beer that begins with Bud... his wife owns the company and makes pretty good money. Guess who drinks bud? lol Oh and that link to that article is ok but it just gives a general idea of the companies that give money to Republicans. Now a days big corporations give money to both Republicans and Democrats although they usually give the biggest amount to the one that is most likely to win.

Silent protests such as these are not of much use. No company shall be able to differentiate a drop in sales; because of recession or a boycott.

We need someone at the national level take charge and say " HEY XYZ my community is boycotting your A$$". Only then shall the company realize its because of Arizona and not the recession.

I noticed the article was from November 26, 2007 and gzmn_ntn
is right we have to target specific people. We need to get people to see just how much we can/will contribute.

First, of all your thinking a little too much.
Second, the only person worth taking it to a national level is the President.
Third, you belittle the fact that we are a LARGE community (plus were not all cut off from the world> we know people who know people)

So many people have already given to this cause, the Dream Act is NOW or another couple of years. Let's not go down saying this is futile; let's make an effort and do this TOGETHER :) Let's BOYCOTT!!!

No, you are wrong. All someone has to do is go on CNN and say " Hey Arizona Iced tea, if you arent putting pressure on you representatives to boycott the law guess what ?! My homies are going to start purchasing Snapple".

When sales in Arizona drop, even if its because of low supply of syrup from Peru, the pessimistic employees of Arizona Iced tea will start blaming it on the law and nothing else.

Heck, Guiterraz can issue a memo to all companies on CNN.

Wow... giving up beer on the first round. Everyone else better be giving up Budweiser. So it's ebay and budweiser, what about the other people? Can we get a list of names so the rest of us can do some research?

Warhound has a point we need to send an actual message saying that we're boycotting these companies.

Dude, were not saying this is a silent protest... And your thinking too far ahead, why don't we get more organized before we start going on CNN.
