Boycott the War

Word on the boycott is spreading fast - thank you to those that are
participating. Voice4change sent out a mass email today and responses have
been flowing in from all over the nation. It is apparent that we as
citizens, we as consumers are ready to take our protests to the next level
- it is time for us to affect the administration where it matters most - in
their wallets. Our day-to-day purchasing habits have an insurmountable
influence on the decisions our leaders make. It is time!

The email that Voice4change sent out is attached. Many other
organizational endorsements are also coming in - maybe we can still win
this thing. Please take it upon yourself to help spread the word, if you
are an organization with large reach please send out the attached flyer, or
create one of your own to forward.

It is our hope that by effecting these corporations at a financial level
they will take our voice of peace directly to the leaders they help put
into power.
