I am 80 and gone in the knees -- this has been holding me back from active picketing. I have been for MANY years active and I have not a moments doubt that a couple of pickets outside of a dozen or so Target stores would generate a BIG response as the suits look for a way out and are jumping through their assholes. These vile folks live and die for money and a threat to pinch that off is like pinching off their Scuba hoses!

Well I think the boycott is great but I think those whoare boycotting target and best buy should go into the stores and drop a letter at the customer service desk saying "I'm joe I have always enjoyed shopping here I came to buy a t.v. that costs 600.00 but decided to take my bussiness to a store chain that does not support anti gay political candidates I really hope you'll change your poicy on supporting these candidates." See my thinking is a company measures its success by sales but if they know what amounts they are losing because of the boycott they might see it differently but we have to be honest also we can't all say we were gonna buy the most expensive item in the store even if it was a $ 10.00 item we should drop the letter to them than go to the next store and buy what we were gonna buy at the stores we are boycotting
