The beat goes on....

You may want to send Carrier Corp. your views on this.

Not many people, nationally, have signed this petition. Will you click the above link and help, and sign? (‡>]

Pretty funny, my air conditioner went out yesterday. This is good info for me to know right this second.

I will never buy one of their units ever again! GUTLESS!

Carrier is actually owned by United Technologies Corp., and that is why Carrier headquarters is located in CT. Carrier Corp. is originally a Syracuse, NY company. The UTC takeover of Carrier is an example of why investors should use the market, and not rely on conglomerates, to diversify their holdings.

Defunding BSA appears to be a corporate trend of late. How and why are these companies making such decisions? Do they really think they engender more goodwill in the community by supporting gays instead of supporting boy scouts?

This is shameful of corporations to pull their funding. The retraction of corporate funds will greatly diminish scouting programs in both size and quality. What will replace the BSA? Will we see the homosexuals everywhere helping little old ladies cross the street?

Maybe they should create and fund gay scouts, and just see how many people would show up. I would like to think that no parent would ever place their kid in such a situation, but unfortunately, plenty of parents are willing to experiment with their kids. Otherwise, we wouldn't see the homosexual agenda garner such success in places like Massachesettes.

I just got word via Grassfire. Sent my email, signed petition. Came to FR to see if it'd already been posted and found your post.

Good job! And here's a bump for activism!

Carrier, this is uncool.

[nightdriver]

There's always others - Trane, G.E., Amana, Lennox, etc. I'm going to repalce my old Carrier with a Coleman.

[antidemocommie]

Well! I was considering buying a new carrier for my home, but that won't happen now!

Dear Mr President of the Carrier Corp.

YOU JUST LOST A CUSTOMER.

The Boys Scouts are not the enemy. Militant homosexuals are, you goof ball.

[Bonaparte]

LOL! The parent company, UTC, states at their corporate contributions page that they stay away from "social causes on which there are strong differences of opinion." I think they need to update their policy statement.

[NRA2BFree]

How ironic. I am in the process of buying a 2 ton Air Conditioner from them. I'm supposed to close on it later today. They just lost an order. I'm going to e-mail them and tell them why I'm cancelling my order.

We trashed our old A/C last fall. Time for a new one, and it damned sure won't be a Carrier!

My AC needs replacing in a few years and it won't be a carrier

In looking at the bigger picture, tough times are a true test of character. What are we learning about the character of the boy scouts? It is my observation that some are caving to the homosexual demands and some aren't.

That what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Salvation Army appears to have stood tall and I plan on sending them more money. I am waiting to see what BSA does.

The irony of this is that corporate funding doesn't come into play with most church sponsored troops, so the end result of them pulling their funds out is to just make scouts a MORE religous organization than it already is, and thus even less likely to change the policy.
