It is time to pull your money out of the following financial institutions that are the major shareholders of Staples (ticker symbol SPLS) who have chosen to side with George Soros and MoveOn.Org. Contact the institutions and let them know you will not stand for this.

Oh yeah. I'll be sure to do a complete withdrawal of all my mutual funds from any Fidelity entities and move them somewhere else based on this. Right. I'll get right on it. Please hold your breath...
On another thread didn't someone post that Staples had not removed their advertising but only moved it to less controversial programs? I participate in FR to discover the truth........help me out here folks.
I'm wondering how Staples has sided with Soros and/or moveon. Yesterday, I heard Staples did not renew its advertising contract with Sinclair Communications. Is there something more?
I am a shareholder in the funds mentioned but I chose to send a very searing email to Staples CEO. I noted that I would make sure my associates, family and friends know what they did. I assured them that as Target made a bad mistake at Christmas, they too were headed down the wrong path. Bottom line is all they know and that's where you hit them.
lets wait until I get my rebates!!!!
unfortunately, i just had a printer/fax/scanner delivered from them yesterday. Sorry to break the boycott.

Are you demented? Mutual funds? Please stay focused and have everyone you know send them emails, write, fax and phone Staples until we prevail.
