What do folks think here about the viability of boycotting tourism dollars of states like NY, CO, MA, Etc...
I have pondered this for a few years. I figured it wasnt viable and a waste of my time.
Now Im not so sure....
I revisited this idea in my mind when I watched Cuomo's State of the State speech,
He stood on stage with a banner that said "Progressive Agenda" behind him.
Aside from the gun control agenda he touted, his main focused seemed to be tourism dollars to NY Casinos, and other vacationing hotspots within the state of NY.
What if we had an organization, partnering with the NRA, JPFO etc...
The purpose of this organization would be to leverage and lobby states not to be listed as a boycott state of our organization. We can lobby like the NRA, we can brand our organization and solicit members who would join and pledge to not spend money in the respective state that is boycotted.
We can put figures together about how many people visit their state for tourism, how many members we have ( x ) the avg tourists dollars spent in that state, to show how much we are hitting them on a yearly basis.
There are many things we can do to keep the pressure on to these states and their legislatures to remind them of the tax dollars lost. We can intervene when neccesary to steal jobs and businesses from their state to bring them to another state.
For instance: We could recruit companies that employ large numbers and fund a move to a free state. There are alot of ideas.
All of this could start off pretty easy with a website where people make a pledge to boycott a state or business and then an agenda is created and a board is established and donations are solicited for lobbying efforts and campaigns are funded to rob these states of their revenue and hit them in the pocket book....
Im rambling. Any other ideas? This is a smart group here on ARFCOM. And maybe my idea wont work and folks here could maybe tell me why,
Just looking for ideas to fight back against these bastards.
Im down because I cant vacation in Colorado anymore. I will not spend another fucking dime in their state, Chicago, NY et al.
So any ideas about mayhem we could create? Or why this idea wouldnt work?
Now Ill shut up and listen ....
