my thoughts exactly! I'll schecule that for shopping day...
that'll mean about 3 stores !

if you'd be out anyway, try to hit an extra store !

get gas that day....
eat lunch out....
pick up some groceries (even if you COULD wait til 5/2 )

and hey ! maybe the laundromat won't be jam packed !
(wonder if the usual Mexican guys will still be 'hanging' out at the
local laundry/convenience ' store? I guess they don't work - or are
picked up/dropped off there by builders in the area...; I'm in AZ)

My preference is to do absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
If everybody just behaves a usual, and there is ... say ... a 2% drop in sales or productivity or whatever they want to measure, that will tell me what I suspected in the first place.

Sorry, but that's the only way to gauge the impact of this incredibly useful group.

I'm predicting nothing will happen, except for the MSM stories on the non-events, and possibly an increase in crime rates for 24 hours.

Thanks for the post. I'll make sure and do plenty of shopping on that day including the forwarding of your message.

I will make trips to all the stores in my area that day. Thought this e-mail message was good.

I have already decided to shop as normal on May 1. Of course, the "normal" may just be a small amount more normal than other days

However, any businesses I find closed on May 1 out of protest will lose my business permantently.

It's a sad day here in my house. We really like their food but closed on May 1st means no more of my hard earned dollars for them. Back to Chinese take out...

We've decided we can live without Mexican food.
Like the supt. I had on one multi-story building job in San Antonio once. He said, "When I get finished with this job I'm going to tie a tortillo to my car antenna and drive to where nobody knows what it is then I know I'll be home.
We put enough heat on the legal Mexicans, maybe they'll run the illegals they been sheltering back home.

Yes, I'm with you Lew, the only sure way to find out who your communist friends are is to knock on their door on May Day....If it's closed for business on May Day, I'm closed to shopping there the other 364 days of the year, as well.

I have several issues with the protests/boycotts, the least of which is the outrageous number of students who have been indoctrinated and recruited by immigrant, anti-war, communist, and labour groups to participate in these events. Even here locally in toledo, hundreds of students participated in a FLOC/AFL-CIO sponsored rally. It was held on Toledo School's property and endorsed by the City of Toledo.

Aside from them 'boycotting' work, school, and shopping, their agenda is much more sinister and the MAYDAY INTIMIDATION event may potentionally shut down the nation. One only need look (photos & websites linked) at their shirts, flags, graffiti, endorsers, and websites to know their intentions.

DEMAND IMMEDIATE LEGALIZATION AND NO BORDERS

http://www.actionla.org/
We will settle for nothing less than full amnesty and dignity for the millions of undocumented workers presently in the U.S. We believe that increased enforcement is a step in the wrong direction and will only serve to facilitate more tragedies along the Mexican-U.S. border in terms of deaths and family separation.


How many times in how many weeks are we to allow these people to take over our major cities and at what cost? Mayday will be both protest and boycott. There are unions involved in attempting to shut down the ports, transportation, railroad, truckers, etc. I heard today that the International Brotherhood of Teamsters WILL honor the walkouts. I asked a member why and was told that the sooner they are legal, the sooner they become union members, the sooner the union due$ start coming in and the democratic votes get counted.

I am hopeful that despite their message and intentions, the day will remain peaceful because there is no doubt in my mind that the sheer numbers involved in these protests render our law enforcement helpless and unable to control them and beneath those waving american flags, they know it.

For the first time I am at odds with President Bush. I only wish that he were endorsing a wall at the border and no form of amnesty and I am disturbed by the political rammifications this may have long term on elections, possible impeachment, and then an inevitable 'surrender' in Iraq.
