We're cutting you off
If you REALLY want some changes
And you want to strike at the heart of what drives America, banding together and incorporating the 'Woody Hayes' model of everyone in the Blue States...
Just what IS the Woody Hayes model? Legend has it the legendary Ohio State coach was on his way home from a recruiting trip in Michigan. Woody's car ran out of gas on US 23 a couple miles from the Ohio border. Rather than help the Michigan economy by getting gas here, Woody pushed his car two miles to Ohio to fill up there.
Now, here's how YOU can incorporate this game plan...
Tell the good people at Disney World why you won't be bringing your family there and spending a few thousand dollars in Florida. Write and tell the Miami tourist board why you won't be coming there for Christmas break. Leave Mardi Gras in New Orleans to the Republicans and let them have a joyless time on Bourbon Street (face facts, Liberals party better). Write the people who run tours of the Grand Canyon why you won't visit. Tell the Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta why you won't spend money there. Whenever you write to a destination spot, CC the local or state Chamber of Commerce. If enough blue state consumers (we're talking a concerted effort of thousands and hopefully tens of thousands) start hurting the wallets of these red states and their tax bases begin to hurt, they might just HAVE to wake up and realize the economy and their impending loss of jobs is far more important an issue when talked about than gay marriage.
It has to be concerted, it has to be steadfast and it each of us has to be in it for the long haul, no more ordering products online from red state vendors, no more NOTHING for them from us.
If they want to drag America down election after election basing their votes mainly on morals, we shall teach them about the real America and the new color on our election map---green!

As much as I hate Disney though they are one of the first corporations to provide domestic partner benefits for same sex couples. Of course that was when the Disney's still had power and before Eisner shanghaied the board.
Fair enough, I was using them as an example of a major tourist attraction in a red state.
Try Disneyland in CA, it's not quite a 'Hurricaney'
