DON'T SIT BACK--DO SOMETHING!
We all know that the purpose of capitalism is to make money. Unfortunately, most companies don’t care where or how they get their money…just as long as they are making a profit. Regrettably, that is the way the world works.
These American businesses have locations in Aruba and we, the boycotters, need to alert them to the unconscionable illegal business practices and the despicable government and individuals that run the island of Aruba.
Do we sit back with our thumbs up our butts and do nothing? I say HELL NO! Write these American based companies and tell them how Americans are treated in Aruba. It may make a difference…but due to greed and profits, maybe they won’t. At least they will be aware that there are thousands of people who are furious with the way Aruba has handled the case of Natalee Holloway and realize that the CONSUMERS are the ones in control.
Yes…we, the “little people” are the ones filling the pockets of the big-wig CEOs. If it weren’t for us, they would have no business.
The following list is just some of the American companies that do business in Aruba. Write them and tell them what you think! The grassroots movement is counting on you to voice your opinion and make a difference!

Don't forget the travel boards. Alot of people go to them when wanting to know things about Aruba. Trip Advisor, MSN Travel boards, Craigslist Travel boards, Lonely Planets Travel boards and Yahoo Travel message boards.
And let's not forget the cruise lines. They are finding that the Caribbean market is going downhill ... it's the target of price slashing, demand is low and is going lower, and apparently see the Caribbean only as a destination for the bottom end of the market.
Do we remember that a year or so ago, Carnival Cruises (I think that was the one) decided that it would no longer stop at Aruba? It made some excuse about fuel oil costs, but everyone knew that was bogus. There simply wasn't demand.
Imagine the impact if we all wrote to the cruise lines ... one at a time, maybe ... timing our letters so they would get a certain number every day ... and said that we might be interested in a Caribbean cruise, but would not consider using any cruise line that stopped at Aruba.
The cruise lines are dangerous enough in themselves ... remember the case of Amy Bradley, who vanished from a cruise ship in March 1998 as it was docking at Curacao. Just the day before it was in Aruba, and crew members wanted to take her to Carlos 'n' Charlies.
There is strong evidence that Amy remains alive, but in a situation of duress.
In any event, the stench that surrounds Aruba's name is cause enough to stay away. If enough people told the cruise lines, maybe even they would catch on.
patrick didn't sit back, he got up and did something good for natalee.
