Here's the blacklisters:
Companies: Bank of America, Chlorox, Coke, Dell, Denny's, Epson, Expedia, Goodyear, Hershey's, Hewlett Packard, Home Depot, J&J, Kraft, McDonald's, Microsoft, Pier One, Red Lobster, Travelocity, True Value, Visa, Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, Wrigley
Non-profits: American Heart, US Navy, USPS
