Disappointed to see that Buy Blue.org is done

[PBass]

I was hoping to make some significant purchases this week (furniture, office supplies) and I don't want my money going to companies that support the Bush crowd. I'm sorry to see that BuyBlue.org has been terminated. It's one of those websites where, when you needed it, it was great to have it on hand.

I guess I could research this info myself (Staples? Office Depot? Target? Macys?) but it was SO handy to have that information summarized, in the past.

I hope somebody will step up and fill the gap where BuyBlue was... there's a big election coming up, and now would be a good time to know who the players are.

1. I get as much office stuff as possible at Costco.

I know they are blue. They do have some office furniture as well as general supplies, computers, lamps, chairs etc. for the office.

3. yes

and they are actually a GROWING company even with and in Wal-Mart dominated markets.


its pretty interesting to watch.

wonder how they have been so succesfull at growth when other retailers have gone bankrupt when facing walmart head to head?

2. I think we should suggest to one of the dailykos diarists....

or regular contributors on some other site that they keep up the list, with frequent updates and commentary....Or, perhaps some DUer who has time and wants to make sure their journal gets traffic?

4. Why did they close doors?

Anyone know why?
