But we cannot depend on the retailers to carry our message. We have to be doing that the whole time. What we are looking for with the action is the numbers and that's immediate. It comes out after Black Friday. It comes out after the season is over. We say look yall sales went down 6%. Sales went up 2.7% last year. We just need a dip and we've made our point. And if we've already are talking to the politicians they will get it as well.

We'll need a little more than that but I don't think it's insurmountable. I'm thinking food drives and such to ensure that people can still celebrate etc.
