Corporations included Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, United Airlines, Home Depot, Levi Strauss, NFL, Starbucks, Target, LinkedIn, American Express, Merck, Pepsi, PayPal, T Rowe Price.

The following measures were discussed:

Withholding travel, conventions, and investment in GA and states that pass voter security laws;

Withholding corporate donations from candidates, politicians, and parties that support voter security laws;

Increasing donations to candidates and organizations that oppose voter security laws;

Applying pressure to vendors to do the same;

One of the organizers, Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, said corporate leaders were not intimidated or concerned by any possible public backlash, and that new statements and measures can be expected within the next two weeks.

They do this because our country is so weak and won’t truly issue a boycott against them.

You think if they had any modicum of fear of backlash they would do this?

It’s incredible companies are carrying the weight of liberal politicians who are to scared to implement their policies

America is lost

If Red states had any balls, they would ban these companies from their states until they stopped sticking their nose in political issues. At the bare minimum take away their tax breaks.

Apparently if you require voter ID that’ll do the trick

I don't believe I've ever seen businesses attack their customers.


How bizzare.

They are playing with fire. Cancel culture is nothing more than corporate terrorism. They are negotiating with, and capitulating to, terrorists and terrorist demands. We all know how that ends.

Listened to this this morning coming on to the office.

Basically what the guys was saying is that "They" control this country and will be demanding a return on their political investments, voters be damned.

To the politicians, "Do what we paid you to do or we'll buy your replacement."

To the voters and citizen, "Do what we say or we'll ruin your communities economically and there is nothing you can do about it."


This is big. Really big. Bigger than the left no longer disguising their socialist plans.

Nothing on their website about that, yet. If you come up with something, I'd like to know their source.

Do you think Pepsi and Coke will stop selling their products in Georgia in protest?

I say let us call them on it. Make them pay for trying to control the people.

The airlines have no reason to fear backlash, Drooling Joe and the rest of FedGov will keep them bailed out no matter the cost.

Local cbs news Atlanta said it was reported by WaPo and WSJ.

The CEOs also said they were 100% fully backed by their boards.
