Some of the people at work were talking about all the companies in
Colorado Springs that should be targetted for a boycott.  Since the
Springs is the home town of CFV, it should be the worst hit by any
boycott.  Unfortunatly, most of Colorado Springs consists of active
and retired military people.  There is a considerable defense
contractor base, but just a few major private type employers.

Here goes:

FIRST AND FOREMOST:

Will Perkins (President of CFV) owns Perkins Chrysler-Plymouth.  I
think a letter to Will at his business AND one to Chrysler corporate
is very much in order:

	Perkins Chrysler Plymouth Alfa Romeo
	Attn: Will Perkins
	1205 Motor City Dr.
	Colorado Springs, CO  80906
	(719) 475-2330

	(I don't have the address for Chrysler corporate but
	 it shouldn't be too hard to find, address it to Lee.)

Other members of the board of directors for CFV will be determined and
any businesses they own/operate should also be targeted.  I'll get
this information and pass it on to the net.  Please write Will, he is
very lonely now ;-).

Let me say it again, write to Chrysler corporate.  Let's make sure
they know what Will has been up to lately.

NEWSPAPERS:

The Gazette Telegraph did an editorial supporting CO-2.  Their address
is:

	Gazette Telegraph
	Attn: Managing Editor
	30 South Prospect
	Colorado Springs, CO  80903
	(719) 636-0210

Just for fun, they have a Tell It To The GT column that runs on the
op-ed page that is just a distilation of comments people make on an
answering machine.  Call them and tell them what you think:

	Tell It To The GT
	(719) 473-1919

MAJOR CORPORATIONS IN COLORADO SPRINGS:

The two major corporations that just moved into town (other than the
fundy type religious people) are MCI and Apple.  Letters to their
corporate offices would be nice.  Local addresses are:

	Apple Computer Inc.
	702 Frontage Road South
	Fountain, CO  80817
	(719) 382-2000

Apple did put a full page ad in some state-wide newspapers opposing
CO-2.  Don't go too hard on them, they are about the only company that
did say something to the public.

	MCI
	4678 Alpine Meadows Ln
	Colorado Springs, CO  80919
	(719) 592-1300

Perhaps a boycott of MCI long distance?  I use Sprint.  DEC has been
in Colorado Springs for a long time and is one of the largest
employers next to the military:

	Digital Equipment Corporation
	4755 Forge Rd
	Colorado Springs, CO  80907
	(719) 590-6000

RELIGIOUS FUNDIES:

Just for fun, send a letter to Focus on the Family.  They have had
their hands in everything CFV does (and more):

	Focus on the Family
	420 N Cascade Ave
	Colorado Springs, CO  80903
	(719) 531-3400

OTHER LOCAL GROUPS:

I put the local NBC affiliate into this group.  The general manager
changed national programming on the night before the election to air
two Rush Limbaugh shows instead of the normal NBC movie.  He also did
an editorial during the local newscast about 2 weeks ago, urging
voters to approve CO-2.  He's a nasty boy and in cahoots with Will.

	KOAA-TV Channels 5/30
	Attn: John O. Gilbert
	530 Communication Circle
	Colorado Springs, CO  80906
	(719) 632-5030

The local Chamber of Commerce:

	Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau
	104 S Cascade Ave
	Colorado Springs, CO  80903
	(719) 635-7506 (General Administration and Conventions)

City Government (they did nothing to support the cause):

	Mayor Bob Issac
	City of Colorado Springs
	City Hall
	30 S Nevada Ave
	Colorado Springs, CO

Hope this helps, maybe someone up in Denver and other cities will fill
in the rest.  If anyone can think of other addresses they need, just
yell, I'll get them for you.

Later...Randy
