There are people in America who have the ability, the contacts and the motivational skills to organize such a boycott movement; to mention just a couple: there is David Swanson, the antiwar activist and there is Kevin Zeese, who organized the October 2011 movement. They and others like them with organizing skills could make such a boycott movement work.
This is how change happens, how a massive movement can demand and achieve real change. There is no doubt that this government, Corporate America, the financial institutions and the facilitators of war are not going to change until they are forced by the power of the people. And that power is in the process of being exercised on Wall Street and around the country as we speak.
The "Occupy Wall Street" protesters, together with the many who are expected to take part in the upcoming October 6 protests in Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C., are living examples of Thomas Jefferson's statement that "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." They are modern-day patriots and Jefferson would be very proud of them.
So to get this boycott movement started, open your windows and yell at the top of your lungs, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
