  26. I think it would be more reasonable to determine where each
  27. company stands on the issue instead of assuming that these
  28. companies are against the ammendment.
  29.  
  30. Perhaps part of the anti-Ammendment #2 effort should be to file
  31. a corporate petition.  Those that fail to produce a statement
  32. against the ammendment would be subject to the proposed boycott.
