Some of their targets are interesting. Allen-Edmunds shoes for example. Here is a shoe manufacturer that actually makes its shoes in the US. They even recently expanded their production in Milwaukee. They hire a lot of Hispanic-Americans to work there. And the teachers union wants to put them out of business.

Kwik Trip stores has a large bakery and facility in La Crosse. They said they have to limit their annual store growth because 40% of their profits gets paid back to their employees in an annual profit sharing payment. And the teachers unions want to destroy this company.

Ever listen to "You don't get me, I'm part of the union"? It's by Fairport Convention. Silly song, because it supposed the union had something to do with a factory. That was then, this is now.

What will be interesting will be in 6 months, how many teachers have quit paying union dues? As I understand it, that law allows teachers/other govt. types to opt out of having to be in the union. That is what the unions and Dem’s were terrified of. If folk aren’t forced to pay union dues, the amount of money the union officials and Dem lawbreakers will have to spend will decrease dramatically.

""What’s dumbfounding is how liberals think their boycotts are going to make any difference. Many of the companies on the list do very little business with the public.""

It's called "list-building". Much like the recall efforts against the Democrats that fled the state, nobody serious and realistic is planning on them succeeding, but they keep people fired up and donating money.

Jenna:

""The vindictive nature of the left results in more focus on immediate gratification (revenge) than long term damage control. When folks figure out that the new legislation isn't the disaster of monstrous proportions it was represented to be, the left will lose even more credibility and it doesn't have a lot left to lose at this point.""

You do realize that if you replaced 'left' with 'right', this would read like a perfect description of the Democrats' talking points on the health care reform bill?

@televangelist -

EXACTLY - they're talking points and thus don't have to have but a superficial connection to reality. They break down with even a cursory investigation. Difference is, when that investigation is attempted, Obamacare looks worse.

Televangelist: I don't see much similarity between what's been going on in Madison for the last three weeks and opposition to Obamacare. Did Republicans refuse to show up for work and refuse to vote on Obamacare? Did protestors crawl in the windows of the Capitol and threaten the lives of Democrats? Did CEOs drive around the White House in their limos? Did one of the few conservative Hollywood celebrities call President Obama an idiot? Were Tea Partiers carrying signs with clenched fists and using the President's daughters as political tools?

The right's response to the passage of Obamacare was to elect representatives to repeal it or defund it or do whatever could be done to prevent the negative consequences from kicking in. There were no recall petitions filed against the President and Democratic members of Congress and no one suggested boycotting Democratic contributors. Those crazy folks on the right did democracy the old fashioned way, by registering their complaints against Democrats in the voting booth.

"Yeah - let's respond to Walker's attempt to destroy Wisconsin's economy by.... trying to destroy Wisconsin's economy!!"

BTW, you must be hitting the beer pretty hard if you're emailing ex-gf's. Weak sauce compared to some of the microbrews out there.

I love Johnsonville brats, but my wife restricts my enjoyment. She claims she wants to keep me around. But now I will stand in solidarity with Wisconsin and throw extra Johnsonville's on the grill. With onions. Can I get some Wisconsin onions also? How about Wisconsin mustard? And Wisconsin buns?

Can someone in Wisconsin put together a basket for me and ship it here to Texas? I'm getting hungry. And I want to do my part to counteract those union boycotters.
