As many of you know, www.thinkprogress.org has found a list of the corporations that are supporting the ALEC legislation. I have been working on a series of articles focusing on each corporation in order to boycott them, and send a message that corporations are NOT people, and that WE the People do not approve of their supporting the legislation passed out to our elected officials through the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Today I bring to your attention Walgreens. Walgreens has over 4.2k stores nation wide. Fortunately for us we have other choices when it comes to purchasing our medications, support your local Drugstores and keep your dollars local for your communities. If you are a part of a Union or other Progressive organization, see about setting up picket lines at the stores in your area so that you can let the public know about how Walgreens is aiding in destroying our legislative process through backroom deals where corporations such as Walgreens can pay to sit at the table to undermine our unions, health care system, woman's rights, voting rights, etc. You can find more about ALEC here: http://www.dailykos.com/...
I also call on everyone to contact Walgreens and let them know that they are being boycotted for their support of this nefarious backroom legislation.

Folks, WE have the power to hit these people where it hurts, in their pocketbooks. In the value of their company. If we can choke off their profit margin with this boycott, then their stocks will drop and their shareholders will demand answers and action in response to our boycott. WE have the economic power with our spending dollars!
It's time that we as a society speak out against this kind of back room dealing. It's time that we as a society speak up for each other and our well being. It's time that we as a society make sure that the corporations know that they don't own our Great Nation!
