Well not the thing is, how do we mobilize our people to put them on the track of not buying from these vampires?

Any suggestion? What I see is a people who have condoned this with their behavior by default; Plus there is not grass roots movement to stir them to get to the point of not patronizing these insects who drain us, sell us bottom of the pit merchandise, don't give nothing back to the community in any term, etc...

They already know what is going on and they still spend money because the options are very few if any. How do we give the people hope and iniative to do otherwise?
