Boycott Bus from the 1980s
Boycotts have worked against hate before. (Bus says "Boycott Apartheid" reminding people to not buy South African products while their country was under a system of apartheid.

Some Proposition 8 donors are facing more problems with boycott calls now than before the November 4th vote, though one claims to be suffering less
Some businesses claim its not fair to target them because one employee (who usually is a high level worker) donated (usually a high amount) to the Yes on 8 campaign.
See LA Times "Proposition 8 protesters target businesses" for details.
Some donors say next time they will donate in a way that obscures their act. This usually means donating one of possibly thousands of right leaning groups who siphon off a large chunk of the money to make the top employees of the non profit quite comfortable before any money gets to an actual effort to promote an idea or bill.
Aides to nearly every right wing Congress person and state legislature, and even failed Bush administration nominees has one of them. Take your pick. Running a non profit to promote the right wing agenda is the best 'gig' in town, well besides some of the churches out there.
Parishioners out there need to remember that the Bible says that some ministers are false ones and will be rejected in the end themselves. Of course, from what I've seen every minister defines good as him or herself, but congregants need to judge for themselves whether their church is promoting hate or not.
