Welcome to Feeling Blue Seeing Red.org! The concept is simple. We've chosen 5 corporations to boycott. Each of these corporations makes large contributions to the Bush administration. These corporations also behave in specific ways that are detrimental to the world in some way, such as damaging the environment, working with sweat shops, adamently preventing unionization, or supporting state terrorism, etc.

Each corporation has a specific target behavior they must engage in for the boycott to be withdrawn. Every time an additional 10,000 individuals sign up on this website, the corporations are notified as are each of the individuals that have signed up. Whenever a corporation complies by modifying their behavior, they are dropped from the list and another corporation is added.

Visitors begin by submitting (on the register page) their name, email address, and the email address of the person that referred them. You can type in the email address of the person that referred you to confirm that they are in the system. (Once you supply us your email adress, it will not be shared with any other organization. Other members cannot see your email address unless they already know it.) Start referring people you know to this site, making sure they know your email address. Then, at any time, you can return to this site, log in, and view how many people have registered as a direct result of your referrels. This includes indirect referrals which might include 6 degrees of separation or more, meaning if you referred 10 people, and they referrered 10 people, and they referred 10 people, you'd have over 1000 people noted as having signed up for this boycott as a result of your efforts.

The sooner you start the process, the more fun this adventure becomes.

This site was created to give the opportunity for individuals to feel that their efforts can have an effect on the political/cultural/capitalist environment that we live in. View how your actions result in registration of people you don't even know. Prepare for corporations to amend their behavior based on what you and your FBSR associates choose not to buy.
