LEADER-MART
ATTENTON:
The Shopping Season is officially open.
The Council of Reasonable Leadership and Commerce of Leaderonia
In Collaboration with ADBUSTERS, has released the following Warning:
BUY NOTHING.
And if you cannot buy nothing, then
BUY LOCAL.
And if you cannot buy local, then
BUY REGIONAL.
And if you cannot buy regional, then
BUY NATIONAL.
And if you cannot buy national, then
BUY INTERNATIONAL.
And if some crazy reason you cannot
buy any of the above, then go ahead
BUY A CORPORATE BRAND
---
The Council under direct order from the One Leader, the Great Leader
has gathered a directory of businesses for the consumers of Leaderonia.
The following list includes approved commerce practice by the Council,
which rewards companies that employ FAIR TRADE guidelines,
sustainable living wage for its work force, sweatshop-free environments
and that repudiate WTO, IMF and NAFTA:
- Green Pages OnLine Directory
- Fair Trade Federation Directory
- Sacred Ground Organic and Fair Trade Coffee
- Global Exchange Fair Trade Gift Ideas
- American Apparel Sweatshop Free Fashion
- AFL-CIO gift shop
- Uncommon Goods "Better To Give to Non-Profit" Program
- And why not? Craigslist offers the Re-shopping alternative.

Great Leader! I would like to suggest that if one can't buy internationally, then one might try consuming on the intergalatic level.
Keep the revolutionary step!

thank you for calling the One Leader, the GREAT Leader; I can not tell you how "little leader" was so un-appropriate for the greatness of Our One.
I will consider to address your suggestion to the Council.
