I'm a conservative who believes in the first amendment. Political speech is the most protected form of free speech. I resent slim fast's retalliation against Goldberg's expressions and ridicule of Bush, a political figure. that's what done daily in editorial cartoons.

I have two cases of slim fast that I am packaging up and sending back to slim fast with a promise never again to support a corporation that has so little respect for the first admendment.

It's just not your lucky day. I'm a liberal, who bans conservatives while the boss isn't looking.

I suggest you try this instead: As soon as I heard they dropped Whoopi, I went out and bought a bunch of Slim-Fast products. Then I sent them a letter telling them so - with copies of the bar codes from the products I bought. I said something like companies should be rewarded for doing the right thing, i.e., cancelling her contract for her extremely boorish public statements and actions. I also said I'm going to tell everyone else who is dieting to buy some Slim-Fast items.

This is a reverse boycott for doing the right thing. I also sent a copy of the letter to Whoopi to let her know. The address I found on the Internet for her is: Whoopi Goldberg 5555 Melrose Ave #114 LA CA 90038. The address for the Slim-Fast Company is on their products. The entire experience, including eating their food while typing and mailing these letters was sweet.

I suggest you get all your friends, church members, etc., who are dieting to do likewise and really blow her mind! Of couse, I said something like if she apologized and changed her ways, all would be forgiven. (Hah! Fat Chance of that - but that's the right thing to do, too, and if she did, I would.)
