Yet another boycott site--MINE

Howdy folks.

I'm setting up my own boycott list on a web site (hey, everyone else is doing it, why not me?). The impetus behind my list is to say who I'm boycotting and the specific reason(s) why. While lists like the NRA's are fine, they don't usually give a reason for the boycott (and I don't have enough back issues of American Rifleman to know why).

So, I'm looking for feedback from folks who know why some companies are on boycott lists, and I'm seeking comments/criticism on my site. If you have time, point your browser to http://www.mindspring.com/~papercut and see what you think. It's a fairly simple site right now, no big fancy graphics (except the background on one page). I don't want to heavily customize it too much until I get the details squared away--then maybe I'll add some pretty graphics & stuff.

Good idea.
I can suggest adding the State of Ohio to the list also since we don't have CCW yet. A walk through the parking lots at Six Flags, Cedar Point, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Wright Patterson AP base and other tourist places shows a number of out of State plates. A simple "I don't feel safe in your State, so I decided to go ____" letter might get the point across. They don't seem to ignore $$$.
 
papercut, I've heard that Hallmark Cards supports the antis (Wal-Mart sells them), as do Blockbuster video, and Rainbo bread (this includes my ex-favorite, Roman Meal :().

If/when I hear of any others, I'll pass them on.

For Parents Magazine (you had no info), they had an anti gun article in this month's issue, for one.

Add AOL for their terminating the three fellows who met in the parking lot and transferred firearms from vehicles to go shooting. (See TFL link)

Good list!

RAE: I can add Ohio, and I should probably add Missouri as well.

DAL: Roman Meal? Do you have any info on what they did (the main purpose behind my list is to document specific things so we can remember *why* we're mad at them 6 months or a year down the road). Hallmark I knew about but forgot to add--thanks for the reminder.

72Bronco: Thanks for the Parents Mag. info. By this month's issue do you mean November? If you have the mag, can you give me the page number(s)? That's the sort of stuff I want to be able to list (whenever possible).

AOL I will add later. I want to let the details develop first so I don't have to keep going back and updating the entry. Maybe after their attorney files a complaint with the courts and I can see the specifics in his legal document....

Thanks for the feedback guys. :) This is the sort of info I'm looking for.

I don't have the specifics on what Rainbo (Roman Meal's parent company) did, but I seem to remember hearing or reading about 6-8 months ago that they gave support to some anti group. Sorry I can't be of more help on this.

DAL,

Get a bread machine.

You'll never go back to store bought sawdust bread again.

Every time I have to buy a bag of buns because I'm having company and have forgotten to make, I KICK myself because they are so terrible.
