[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 196839, member: 412"] You can vote your political leanings mostly 1x/yr, some years you get a few more chances with special elections, primaries and such but mostly it's 1x annually that you get a chance to really influence the political direction of your city, county, state, nation. However, you can vote with your wallet every day. If a company decides to be visibly/publicly politically engaged, then I think it's appropriate to use that company's political leanings as a measurement of whether you wish to buy or not buy their products. It's really exactly the same as the Dixie Chicks running down President Bush on stage. No one said they couldn't say that. They didn't get a citation for breaking the law, nor were they imprisoned or fined. The people who bought their music and probably more important, the people who bought advertising on the radio stations that played their music decided to vote with their wallet. The general public decided to listen to other artists and the advertisers decided to not support a radio station that aired them. Radio stations followed the $$ of their advertisers and the opinions of their listenership. Listenership being the chief means by which their able to drive revenues and rate schedules. [/QUOTE]
