Why an economic protest?
First, because Bush refuses to listen to massive rallies. Maybe he’ll listen to money instead. Second, because boycotts are a tried-and-true method of effective action. As the Iraq Survey Group concluded, even Saddam was affected by economic sanctions — this is the same against Bush. Third, because an economic boycott can be extended beyond the inauguration. Many groups are now establishing “Buy Blue” lists — targeting boycotts against companies which support Bush. This website will convert to a “Buy Blue” website after the inauguration — listing which companies you should patronize to keep the movement alive until Bush and his cronies are out of power.
