In Mexico, 'nothing gringo on May 1'
Activists plan one-day boycott of U.S. businesses

Friday, April 14, 2006 Posted: 1412 GMT (2212 HKT)


MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- "The Great American Boycott" is spreading south of the border, as activists call for Mexicans to boycott U.S. businesses on May 1.

The protest is timed to coincide with a May 1 boycott of work and shopping in the United States that also has been dubbed "A Day Without Immigrants." The boycott, which grew out of huge pro-migrant marches across the United States, is designed to pressure Congress to legalize millions of undocumented people.
Mexican unions, political and community groups, newspaper columnists and even some Mexican government offices have joined the call in recent days.

"Remember, nothing gringo on May 1," advises one of the many e-mails being circulated among Internet users in Mexico

What an ill-conceived idea. They should've called for all North Americans to boycott Exxon for a coupla weeks. That would actually do something. This will just foster poor relations--and get a few fired.

To all you "mexicans" born and bred in the U.S. and proud of it, I stand shoulder to shoulder and proud with and of you and of the mixed culture we live in.

To all you carrying Mexican flags through the cities and town of my country, I say, "Forget hell!". I trace my ancesters back to some that drew a black bean and some murdered at Goliad. YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY COUNTRY in some holdover hope of Santa Anna.

President Fox do something for your country before you get 12 million unhappy people back in it and you can deal with that. All of you beautiful Mexican people that waited your turn and did things wright welcome and please stay here and be part of our country we welcome you and all the richness you bring and share with us brothers and sisters. To the illegals please go back home take the pigs and thives that hired you and is directly responsible for your citizens dying in the desert and making themselves an American whore take them with you and do what you want to with them. Go home come back legal or fix your country. And you might as well take Bush and Chenny with you they aren't Americans any way.

They don't do it any more. Went to go see it a couple of years ago. Apparnetly it was shut down because it was considered cruelty to animals.

We need the minute-men standing guard year round.

Too bad this couldn't turn into another federally paid program.

Oh wait, I forgot, we have border patrol all ready doing a fine job! [Big Grin]

I wonder how much cash will be spent after Iran is invaded?

I'll round up my white trash militia minute-men group to fight some unarmed harmless illegal mexicans who pick vegtables from the fields here in illinois. that'll show them!! This will be like old american times whrere we used to beat and tell nigs where to go and what they can do and not to do!! By the way, most of those drugs are from colombia not mexico. they are smuggled through mexico. anyways, I wonder how many minute-men are african-american. probably the blind ones that don't know what color they are. point is, this is a nationwide rasism movement against mexicans.

your right. it couldnt possibly be because this is a growing problem that needs to be solved. Or the increasing crime rates in so.cal or arizona or texas. its racism.
i've never heard such nonsense, even some legal mexicans say that illegal immigration is a problem, so what are they, self-hating racist mexicans...?
So if the story was different and it was canadians flowing in by the millions creating slums in montana, eating up welfare money, getting free education, getting free healthcare, it would be ok cause they are white?... .riiiight

I got this in an email. Interesting.

GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola
executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It's worth your consideration.
Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.79 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..... not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
HERE'S THE IDEA:

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices.
If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people.
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited
and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE
HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million,all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... I'm a mathematician, so trust me on this one.)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next
8 days!!!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you?
Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from
EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

--------------------
I buy fast and sell faster!
