Our mask freedom group infiltrated enemy lines and snagged a list from a “pro-mask” group. The businesses highlighted in red are the ones they are boycotting that we should support in Tampa Bay and surrounding counties. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16L8kbQAPDvDKvmOPYjDW0Fojj3XxLmrz6gijIi0sGw0/htmlview
How could one acquire a similar list for different states?
We’ve been working on our list since the summer. I’d say start working on one and form a patriot group. Our list of businesses to support is hundreds long
