THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR ! EDWARDS AQUIFER SITE AT MOPAC AND

SLAUGHTER!!


Superb. Now how do we get rid of the existing one(s)?

Some ideas:

Get people to use the parking lot semi-permanently, so that paying

customers
can't park.

Organize shop-ins of enough folks to max out occupancy. No one buys
anything, and call the fire marshal if they try to pack in paying folks.

Get local business owners to target new job offers to underpaid Wal-Mart
employees.

Organize return-a-thons for huge volumes of inventory. Returns and

restocks
are EXPENSIVE! So, if 200-300 people buy $X worth of stuff and return it,
say 3-4 times per week, profits will dip.

I know these are a bit more aggressive than your typical picket line, but
they also hit where it hurts... the cash drawer.

Any other ideas?


Yeah- have the state take over everything. Only memebers of the Communists
Party may run a business. Anti- capitalists such as the DNC may own a
business but must accept regulation by the Socilaist party! That would
please Austin politicians who are the bedrock of Liberalism!
