Spider's "Not With My Money" Page

Does your hard earned money go towards supporting causes that you are opposed to? Are you sure? There are many businesses out there that support causes and political agendas that you might be vehemently opposed to - and by buying products and services from these companies, you are in fact contributing to those causes. Think about it - every time an NRA member buys a container of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream, he is in effect donating money to the gun-control community. Every time a conservative buys a Walt Disney movie, he is in effect donating money to all sorts of leftist liberal causes.

Don't you just HATE when that happens?

Well, I try my best not to let it happen to me. I "vote" with my wallet, which means that I refuse to buy products or services from companies I know support causes that I disapprove of. Any business that supports gun control or any other liberal hogwash agenda, will do so without any help from me.

I even go so far as to boycott movies and other entertainment media outlets that might end up sending my money to performers that support things I can't stand. I might see a movie made by Robert Redford sometime, but I won't ever PAY to see one. If I did, Redford would use some of my money to support gun control and other leftist causes - and that thought sickens me.

Following is a list of the businesses and performers that I go out of my way to avoid. I know this list should be much larger, but information of this nature is only available on a very sporadic basis. I will add to this list as information comes my way. If anyone knows of any business or performer that contributes to furthering gun control or other political goals that would make a good Constitutional Arachnid throw up, please let me know. Send a message to spiderus@super.zippo.com with all the pertinent information, and I'll check it out and add it to my list. All those listed below are there for anti-gun advocacy unless otherwise noted.
