Targeting Target

Wal-Mart is not the only big, bad bully trying to kill Thanksgiving.  Target is one of several retailers who just cannot bear the thought of a dollar bill slipping past their grubby little fingers.

Meanwhile, employees will be forced to leave their families on one of the truly family holidays remaining.

So what can you do?  You can boycott.  Stay away on Thursday, and prove your compassion by staying away on Friday too.  When you do your holiday shopping, shop small.  There's been a lot of hot air about our reverence for small businesses, but until we actually walk into our local stores and pay a little more to support local merchants (and their employees), it is just talk.

Here's something you can do right now.  Sign the petition started by Target employees at:
