As many of you know, there is a lot of buzz about a possible statewide boycott on members of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
This could be a very difficult undertaking. Many of us have friends and relatives who are small business owners. They might have joined the Chamber for no other reason than to improve their chance of success for their share of the American dream.
Many of these members may be oblivious to the underhanded tactics of the Chamber and its push to own the government of West Virginia and trample on the democratic rights of its citizens.
But here is the bottom line. Every dollar we spend with these businesses goes toward paying the dues of Chamber members, and that money in turn, goes to the Chamber's attempts to undermine democracy in our state.
Its simple, in order to stop the boycott, all a business has to do is resign from the Chamber.
It is our right to choose the final desitnation of the money that we put into the economy. It is our obligation to see that it's used for constructive and progressive purposes.
