Humm...How About a REVERSE Boycott?

Dan's family has been discussing the immigration issue pretty strongly here lately -- having come into this country legally not so very long ago, they have strong feelings about people who come here illegally!  I've watched their emails go back and forth, especially with the boycott planned for today.  I finally got in on the discussion this morning, forwarding an email a friend had sent me.  Thought maybe you would be interested also:

Immigrants' rights advocates, elated by the resounding success of
Monday's "National Day of Action," which drew the backing of hundreds of thousands of protesters across the United States, now are planning a national boycott .....(I'm leaving out all the explanation part of that --  we all know the plans for today!)

To all the real Americans, you can do one small thing on May 1st, 2006. It won't be racist, nor will it be violent. It will not be boastful,
arrogant, selfish, nor distasteful. It will not be any of those things
that our "guests" have already displayed. What it will do is nullify a
movement.

All you have to do is buy something on May 1st. Make up for what they will try to take away. It doesn't have to be a new car or house (unless you were already planning on getting one). It simply needs to be a day of trading.

Hold off grocery buying until May 1st.

Take your wife out to eat that night.

Get the kids pizza, hamburgers, whatever!

Make several trips to the convenience store.

Buy your meals at work.

Fill up your tank.

Shop for clothes, furniture, outdoor equipment.

If it needs to be bought, BUY IT MAY 1st!

Those are just a few suggestions. We're not asking you to spend your
inheritance that day, but just to spend more than you normally would.
Even if it's only a few dollars, this will help soften the blow that
the Mexicans will try to inflict on our economy that day. It sounds
trivial at first, but if this idea gets around, what the Mexicans set
out to do will fail.

NOW COMES THE HARD PART:

This email will not self-destruct if you don't send it to someone.

It will not cause bad luck, nor will it make you impotent.

It will not do some trick or show a cute little animation if you send
it to "X" amount of people.

You will not get paid for doing it.



It will not spread the message though, if it just gets deleted.
