2. You Also Have To Include The Companies Whose Products Were Integrated Into The .....
competition. Omaha Steaks was one. Another was I think a sunscreen product. I'm sure there were more.

10. Those are the ones to really go after...
The relationship with the tie in products is much more intense than with those who buy commercial time. Snapple is out there right now with Trump's picture on the package. Those 'integrated products' become part of Trump world, and all of those companies should be informed about how Trump is now perceived by those with purchasing power.

8. Fuck, I was ready to use Enterprise Rent a Car this summer
Edited on Thu Apr-28-11 07:13 AM by davidpdx
I may have to try to reserve a car somewhere else.

I found an email address for the CEO andrew.c.taylor@erac.com

Not sure if it is still right, the blog post I found it on is two years old. It appears the company also has some issues with charging customers for passing on information about traffic infractions that never happened.

The more I hear about them, the more I wonder if going with them is a bad idea.

17. May want to consider going to tripadvisor.com...
...depending on where you are going to rent the car. Trip advisor (owl icon) has many sub-forums by destination and you can sometimes get 'the skinny' on which rental car companies might be the best.

I did that when I flew into Miami and went with Avis based on several reviews. (Though the MIA airport seems to have been 'under construction' for like....forever!)

12. Honestly, I can't believe anybody watches that piece of crap show.
I'd sooner watch Dancing With the Stars. And I'm not a big fan of DWTS.

13. I was shocked that it's still on
I wondered why I kept catching glimpses of whackadoodle Busey and fuckingretire Meatloaf on TV as I mindlessly flip through a vast wasteland of crapolla.

16. Go Groupon & the "consumers" who contacted them!
THIS is how it's done!!!!! Hit 'em in the pocket$!!!!!

I just bought something from Groupon for the first time recently. Not only are they like - one of the fastest growing companies with staggering, exponential growth (based on information from a segment a month or so ago on "CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood"...) but it's also a great avenue for small, local businesses to generate business to boot!)

Hey - here's an idea: Maybe the current "Activist Forum" could be expanded/updated to: "Activist/Boycott Forum". What do ya think?

One certainly supports the other in my mind! The 'one-two' punch!

15. My e-mail to Clorox
Did you realize your product is tied to Trump, who clearly and publically makes racists statements? Your products are tied to Trump by virtue of your advertising on his show. The fact that Trump is attempting to back pedal on his statements is too little little too late. It's already 'out there'. "The blacks", as Trump refers to people who are not white, are not amused. And neither am I. I'm seriously angry and will not support any orgnaization that provides one dime, directly or indirectly to such a bigot.
