- I'm crossposting this to as many lists as I have addresses for. I
- believe the one for Gaynet has changed, so this may not go thru.
-
- There has been talk on many networks about the boycott to Cut Off
- Colorado for passing this heinous anti-gay, anti-human rights amendment.
- After looking in my handy consumer guide from the ...yes...Consumer
- Information Center, Pueblo, Colorado, I found these companies either
- located, headquartered or having customer service centers in Colorado.

-
- The CO state travel bureau's number is: 1-800-433-2656
-
- Living in the South, many of these companies are unknown to me. For
- instance, what are Vicorp Restaurants the owners of?? Unfortunately,
- I also don't have a Diners Club card to cut up.
-
- But, these are apparently some of the big companies that support
- in part the Colorado economy. Expressing outrage over this amendment
- and withholding business to any CO company may make a dent as it did
- with Arizona and South Africa.
-
- Also, I am approaching my professional organization to have CO removed
- from states where we will have meetings.
-
- Any other ideas/companies to influence Colorado thru? It is unfortunate
- that such an economic boycott also affects our g/l/b brothers and sisters
- and strayt supporters in CO.
-
- Take care all
