Friday

but then I got to wondering....I think ACE is franchises. Could it be individual franchises donated? Am I harming local business if I boycott my local franchise? I'll try to research more when I have a few minutes...I've been working on a project that is due tomorrow...and don't have that much energy left right now.

I guess Lowes is next but I've never been as fond of them.

Thank you PeaceWave! Kickin to share! Faux pas Friday #31

You're welcome. As for those criticizing the list, file your complaints with DemocratsAbroad... PeaceWave Friday #33

But you are the one that posted the list on DU. Saying you do not know how 'comprehensive' it is is not the same Celerity Friday #36

Like I said - Take it up with the source. But, Democrats Abroad is a good organization doing good work. PeaceWave Friday #37

The 'source' did not post its list on DU you did. If I post something on DU that has significant errors or is misleading Celerity Friday #39

You do realize that you're questioning the veracity of info put out by a Democratic Party organization... PeaceWave Friday #40

It is one person from that org, and I already showed significant errors in the list, with links to show the errors. Celerity Friday #42
