I think it will cause harm to their cause. There are four main views on this issue: the people that are 'for' their cause, the undecided, the apathetic, and those 'against' their cause. The target audience for those 'for' the cause should be those that are undecided since those that are apathetic won't care either way and those 'against' won't change their mind. The reason is that the cause is harmed is that the protest is going to act as a hindrance to their target audience;  which means that the 'for' people will not convince anyone new to join their cause and may even create detractors in the process out of their target audience.\n\nThe protesters should take this advice from this detractor of thiers and  find other forms of protest if they wish to get thier message to thier target audience. Filling the streets and hindering work is not effective marketing for the cause.

I won't, because I'm off work today!  And the business where I work won't be, because we have only those legally here, and citizens of this country as workers.  We also have customers who are citizens, because the price of our product is on a higher scale than other restaurants, and usually only the upper middle class eat where I work. As for impacting businesses today...I left work at 11:30 pm last night...went to WalMart to get a few things so I wouldn't have to go shopping on my offdays...and lo and behold...the place was PACKED with people (of other races) on a buying frenzy!  HMMMM....seems to me they just ruined today's boycott by buying the night before!  Now...you tell ME...how stupid is that? Given that most did that, or at least stocked up this past weekend so they won't have to shop today or tomorrow...they still gave the profit to the American businesses beforehand, making this weekend more profitable for the businesses than any normal Monday when most people don't do as much!  True?....

Nothing is going to happen.  That won't stop the supermarket tabloids from trying to make us believe something will happen.....It's good for business.  I'll be going to work that day, just like I did on 9/11, and for the same reason....I don't have Tuesdays off.

No, but the PussyCat's are good and Will.I.Am is good so hopefully it'll be good.

Nay, it will never work.  Wal-mart would make to much money if they didn't sell it.  And a protest wouldn't work either as Wal-Mart is to convient for people.  \n\nAnd they family values is BS.  Saw II isn't a family movie and they have no problem with it being sold there.  I hate it when they push their homophobic agenda and try to cloak it with it just being 'family values'.

I have not been out today but I do like to spread ramdom acts of kindness throughout my day to others.  Try it...It can be fun.  Pay for the car behind you at the drive through, bring a dessert to your neighbor, let someone with less groceries cut inline in front of you at the store, Hand a toll both operator a $20 bill to pay for others tolls, compliment anyone on their outfit, hair whatever.   There are a million things you can do and doing these things makes America better.

WOW....quite sad.  I don't think there will be justice....at least not the how you describe it.  I am sure if the people could afford to walk out....they would have already done so.  \n\nHere in America we have a saying.........I'm sure you will gets it's meaning and this is why I think idiots have these jobs...here goes the saying..."it's not who you KNOW.  It's who you BLOW"  \n\nBest wishes to those who you observe with disinterest.

I cerainly hope so. Tomorrow is the big day. And I hope the Republicans are defeated soundly. If there are some "turncoats", then they are the real patriots. Take America Back!!!!

I don't know about the straight jacket supply, but you might want to buy that bottle of scotch now, because I suspect there will be a run on it next week.  Oh, and, don't get in a car with any liberal headed for Chapaquitic.  It might be best to avoid the roads altogether until they have had a chance to sleep it off.

There is really only one way to perceive it: as successful. I've never heard of a non violent protest failing. It doesn't stop other people from reacting violently; but given enough patience and time, it always works. It did for Gandhi, it did for the American civil rights movement, and I think if the Palestinians really want to accomplish anything, they should be the next to try it.

It is possible to lose your job on May 1 if you mean, "is it legal to fire us?" \n\nI don't think many employers *will* fire people for that, but I can guarantee you that that fear will cause the number of people participating in the boycott to be lower than it otherwise would, no matter how many people do decide to participate.\n\nThe economy will technically be affected, probably more in some sectors than others, but nothing will crash because of 1 day.

I agree with vain. diles que estas enfermo or something else. Don't go unless you think your boss will fire you.  I think that all immigrants should support it. According to the anti-immigrant people, "immigrants are a drain on society." If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom. If not, we prove them wrong once and for all. We know what will happen!\n\nDon't listen to those people who said that they will go and buy more things on that day, if they said that it is because they know that it will affect the country! \n\n\nAnd if you go to work just don't buy anything or put gas  on your car that day.

Today, I would say yes.  Other days, no. depends on who is on the board.

Some things will. It also paves the way for more moderate/liberal Democrats who are actually more in tune with the post baby boomer generation.\n\nThings take time.\nLast night was a start!

will know tomorrow morning.  My guess is that there will NO effect. He has no control and what effect would have been only minimal.  Besides it is already in mkt place.

The top three meat packing companies are closing plants today--the largest is shutting down half its plants for the day. Similar effects are likely occuring in produce, manufacturing, and so on.\nMany restaurants will be short-handed. McDonald's--for one--has announced shorter drive-through hours.\nBasically, we'll see it with food services on all levels, in addition to most stores, factories, construction sites. . .\n\nA single day boycott, however, will likely be mostly seen in restaurants and stores. Crops not being harvested for a single day won't do much to the price. Meat packing being cut for one day won't be greatly noticed unless you work at one of the closed factories. Were this boycott were permanant, we would see dramatic price rises in most consumer goods, and a redused retail sector. Many companies would die, costing US citizens their jobs.
