i think the reason people choose to boycott anything is that the only way they can individually make a difference is by withholding their money. we cannot get our representatives to listen to us and we cannot get the laws enforced, so people who actually feel strongly that change is needed do what they can. you may be right in saying that it is not enough, but it is, at least, a start.
i bet the government would start listening if taxpayers withheld their taxes.........
You hit the nail on the head Floridasandy! When those balk at the power of a Boycott it only tells me that they are very ignorant, know nothing about history and most likely are part of the Roman Polanski supporting Hollywood Elitists!
For instance there was Rosa Parks and the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott of 1955, our nations colonial boycott of British trade goods, California grape boycotts, Rainforest Action Network launched a nationwide boycott of Burger King!zPlease do not be discouraged by the little pig who also balked about building a house of bricks rather than straw. A successful Boycott of these Sleazy Hollywood Elitists is very probable and possible.
This will be a Boycott we can all Believe In!

Reason: gramma
Don't forget to boycott all the rogue nations these Hollywood Freaks love and support.
Personally any boycott of the NFL would be at least be Symbolic and although I love Football, as I used to play in college, I am not going to watch a single NFL production this and next year in response to the disgusting signing of Michael Vick! However, maybe Obama can have a beer with Vick and one of the Dogs he mutilated and make it all better!:ro lleyes:

Obama will always do what is "necessary" to keep himself in the limelight. He has hobnobbed with even more heinous creatures than Vick, and is now holding the highest world office. Never ceases to amaze. As an aside, I rarely if ever watch spectator sports, especially not on TV. You are to be commended for boycotting the dishonorable NFL.
Next Election will Show Change We Can All Believe In!

BY Boycotting Hollywood Elitists we will reduce their political influence, as their audiences will dwindle and their $$$$ will lessen as well! If that happens then Good-by to their Political favorites!

One can only hope that is the equation. Too many love their pleasures more than their principles. Or we wouldn't be in the colossal mess in which we find ourselves presently in this nation.

Sponsors do listen. For instance if you take the show "The View" one only has to canvas the sponsors and begin notification letters to each sponsor of the boycott. A more effective way is to sign up as a Nielson Rating Home. there you will have direct input as to why you stopped watching a Television show and this really does make a significant difference!
I boycott boycotts! I will not join in any boycott proposed for any reason because they do not work (probably due to so many other people that boycott boycotts).
All of this from the same loony right who said Move to France, Freedom Fries, and
continued to GO TO THE MOVIES, buy celebrity magazines, ate up all manner of gossip, and slime.
