I'm calling off the boycott against CVS and Walgreens.
I originally chose Eckerd, CVS and Walgreens pharmacies as no one pharmacy covered 50 states with stores.

Eckerd, a division of JC Penney at one point, gave money to the GOP, as did CVS and Walgreens.

Recently Rite Aid bought Eckerd and BrooksRX. Eckerd had bought Genovese drugs 4 or 5 years ago.

Now Rite Aid covers 50 states. Even though CVS and Walgreens give money to the GOP, I want to focus on Rite Aid, so people have more choices.

So the pharmacy boycott will only involve calling Rite Aid, to get HR 676 enacted and a repeal and replacement of Medicare part D with the drug benefit going to Medicare Part B.

5. In case anyone asks - tell them *I* said you'd be calling the shots around here from now on...
...see if that takes you any farther than just billboarding all the forums and issuing marching orders...

8. I don't know man
it hasn't been run by me yet. I thought I was supposed to be the one calling the shots this week. There has to be a more efficient way to tell everyone what to do.

7. I boycotted those stores before it was fashionable.
Costco and Sweet Bay are much cheaper.
