Subject: Boycott…
Victoria, Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston.
Local Hispanic leaders there, in opposition to pending
Immigration
Legislation, boycotted all Caucasian owned businesses in the Victoria
area
this weekend as a demonstration of their economic impact on the
community.
The boycott was declared a success by the Hispanic community,
noting
that revenue in Caucasian owned businesses was down by 19%.
Business owners declared the boycott a success as well, pointing
out
that shoplifting was reduced by 77%.
And…shoppers reported they could actually hear English being
spoken throughout the stores for the first time in recent memory…and
customers paid with real money, not government cards….
