OT Purchasing Power

[Guest guest]

With the holidays close at hand, many people will be buying gifts for

friends and relatives. While we already make a statement with the

kinds of foods we buy, we also can make a statement with where we

spend our money for other things. Some churches hold Alternative

Christmas Fairs to offer products for sale that directly benefit the

poor and needy. We can also chose wisely what companies we want to

support with our purchases. Overseas countries are exercising this

right by boycotting American-made goods (see

http://www.organicconsumers.org/corp/overseas110304.cfm ). See

http://www.boycotts.org/ for more information about boycotts.
