DEAR MCDONALD'S
THE FREEDOM POST ^ | April 11, 2012 | Matthew Burke

Posted on 04/11/2012 10:14:16 PM PDT by SaveOurRepublicFromTyranny

Below is a letter I sent to directly to the McDonald's Corporation, after learning about their decision to cut ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. It's high time conservatives show McDonald's, and any other company that surrenders to the threats of radical leftist groups, that we are the majority and companies who cowardly cave-in to groups who seek to destroy the very system they thrive under (free market capitalism), will pay a heavy price. We will withhold our business and reward their competitors. McDonald's has made their choice. Now we must make ours! #war...

I’ve already stopped eating at Burger King for the same reason. Now all I have left is Wendy’s and Wild Willy’s

Sadly I’ve no idea of the content of your letter, however I congratulate you on your stand for freedom.

We quit McDonalds. We enjoy Chick Filet now. Excellent, hot, delicious cooked food, polite people at the drive up window and service with a smile and always the right order. Cars lined up one after the other coming in from all directions and the inside is just as packed. If we want a burger, I fix our own, make my own delicious fries and we eat them at home. :)

Wendy’s is a far better product as of late. We stopped Micky D’s and BK just because the Wendy’s new fresh made burgers are just better. We also always like Dave Thomas. He was a good man.

If Wendy’s starts playing political games, I will just play it safe and stick to local Mom and Pop burger joints.

This the same group of thugs that called jobs at McDonalds “McJobs”

ya McDonalds.. those are your customer base alright..

Well.. They will be your only customer base soon. Good luck with that alright?

I love the burgers at a local joint. Nice and tasty. Wendy’s is good. I like a good gut bomb to. Please don’t tell me White Castle has caved to these types of groups..

When using the drive thru at McDonald's, one shouldn't have to order in a foreign language.

Mmmm...Burgerville USA.

Love their rosemary shoestring fries, pepperbacon & Tillamook Cheddar burgers, and chocolate hazelnut milkshakes.

Also love the burgers at a local joint in my little city. Haven’t eaten at Mickie-dees in 12 years. The food there sucks.

Bravo!

I wrote a similar letter to Walgreens. I’ve shopped for years at the one just down the street but as of today I transferred all of our prescriptions to a different pharmacy. Screw ‘em.

Thank you for standing up for freedom. I clicked the link in your letter taking me to the ALEC site and immediately got a warning pop-up message of DO NOT ENTER from an application I subscribe to called Web of Trust. It appears left wing activists are spamming the Web of Trust site regarding ALEC marking it as an untrustworthy, unsafe site to visit. I continue to be surprised at just how low these freaks will stoop. I guess I should know better by now.

McDonalds...What a ripoff. You get nothing with your Egg McNothing. The cost of that garbage per pound is ridiculous and the taste is only ho-hum. For every dollar spent at McDonalds, I can eat seven times better by shopping for and preparing my own meals. It’s not even worth it with a two-fer coupon deal.

I cringe at the thought of homeowners in government-stalled foreclosure and EBT card users who sit inside their running SUV’s in long lines at the drive-thru for the priviledge of forking over somebody else’s money for what?...

However, it’s a great reminder to us that as Americans, we have the right to do all the wrong things.

I don’t eat at McDonalds, BK, Wendy’s, Hardees, etc...

Why?

It’s garbage, junk food. It is flat out, not good for you.
