Join the "Boycott France" Campaign

I'm surprised with the list of companies to boycott. Some I would have
never thought was owned by the French (like US Divers).

NewsMax.com is leading the Boycott France campaign because American
lives and security is at stake.

France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved
from simple dissent to active hostilitytoward America.

French President Chirac warned East European nations that if they side
with America, France will oppose their membership in the European Union.

This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has
been secretly helping to arm Iraq -- and has been helping Iraq build
long-range missiles. These same missiles may soon be used against
American soldiers.

Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can
exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid helping companies and
countries that do no stand with America.
