Bush boycotts and campaigns

www.feelingblueseeingred.org
5 companies have been chosen to boycott. Each of these corporations makes large contributions to the Bush administration and also behave in specific ways that are detrimental to the world in some way. Each corporation has a specific target behavior they must engage in for the boycott to be withdrawn. Every time an additional 10,000 individuals sign up on this website, the corporations are notified as are each of the individuals that have signed up. Whenever a corporation complies by modifying their behavior, they are dropped from the list and another corporation is added.
