I will update this post with new advertiser information as I receive it. Probably will be delayed somewhat due to the holiday.

AT&T is toooooo big to make any impact at all .... But you may try it
nevertheless... However, easier targets are the smaller advertisers...

[sluggo]

The best strategy is to pick one to concentrate on. When they bend, you move on to the next.

GOOD WORK! I'm in ... except for my iPhone which is AT&T unfortunately, though it's value as an activist tool with many Ron Paul videos and the Ron Paul 2008 iPhone Headquarters website easily outweighs the effect of my canceling service. I really hate that company... and I've let them know this several times ... and will continue to Boycott everything Old Media tries to sell us. This Boycott thing gets really complicated when you start to consider the owners, cross-ownership, board members who sit on other corporate boards of other Evil Corporations... and on and on ....

definitely IN on this!

hit them where it hurts!

[Anti Federalist]

People still advertise in that rag?

:D

[Corydoras]

I think American Apparel will be a particularly good one to go after. The owner is highly ideological yet countercultural, and his factory is a non-union American shop that pays about twice minimum wage. A letter might work along the lines of, "I would like to think you are the kind of company that would support Ron Paul..."

Count me in.

We should let THE WEEKLY STANDARD know that we are planning to do this and for why... yes/no/maybe so?

[tmg19103]

This could work. The Weekly Standard loses $1 million a year (goes to show how popular necons are).

However, that $1 million a year loss is bankrolled by Rupert "Faux Noise" Murdoch. Not sure he cares about making money with the Weekly Standard, but rather spreading the neocon message.

However, if Bill Kristol is on a tight financial leash, we could do him and the Weekly Standard in if we get a couple advertisers - or at least it could put fear in Kristol and muzzle him.

Then, Kristol could go ballistic and it would war in what he prints, but attacks always seem to help RP.

Who knows....

[EvilEngineer]

I don't support any of the listed advertisers any way. But I'll be more than happy to continue to not use their products or services. If it helps put that little shit Kristol in his place, than I'm more than happy to let the advertisers know that their financial support of him will not be tolerated.

Not necassarily. Yesm they are going to be around no-matter-what because they are one of the monoliths of communications, but they do have cell phone, Internet, and now are entering into competition with cable (I know all this b/c I work for a large RF company).

You can definitely hurt them in their pocket book by staying away from their new launches into formerly RF dominated cable markets.

Edit: I will also say, that I strongly encourage competition even to keep the company I work for honest.
