American Apparel urges its customers to Support Obama, McCain
American Apparel | 02.04.08 | Perdogg

Posted on 02/04/2008 7:29:15 PM PST by Perdogg

Four decades ago, the chairman of General Motors proclaimed:
"What's good for GM is good for America." Today we're saying,
"What's good for American Apparel is good for America."

We urge voters to consider Obama on the Democratic side.

We urge voters to consider McCain on the Republican side.

Why? Because of their honesty on the issue of immigration, the most significant civil rights concern the country has faced in
50 years.

Why Not Clinton?
We appreciate Senator Clinton's campaign on many fronts, but when it comes to the issue of immigration she has not shown the same strength and conviction as Obama. This was clear during last week's California debate. While he supports driver's licenses for undocumented workers, she is opposed "at this time." Tell that to a mother of three in East L.A. driving her children to school every day. Obama has also pledged to accomplish immigration reform in his first year; Clinton has not made such a commitment. Immigration is the most critical issue that faces the United States, California, and Los Angeles today—we appreciate the Obama campaign's clear voice on it. We also applaud his refusal to scapegoat immigrants for political gain, as some other candidates have.
IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!

Um, isn't this a corporate contribution in violation of the Tillman Act of 1907, the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, the Bi-Partisan Campaign Reform Act (aka McLame-Feingold), etc?

AKA THEY CAN'T DO THIS!!!

Isn't this just one endorsement?

They want Obama to be POTUS and voting for McCain can help make that happen.

The bastards could care less about the illegals. What they want is the cheap labor that illegals bring. Corporate America is one of the biggest obstacle to strong border enforcement and secruity. The a-holes in corporate America, love it when they can save a F’en nickle.

No surprise.
Because I’m qualified to buy wholesale from them, I get sent catalogs now & then. Dumpy, slutty and stoned looking female models are not going to help me sell their products.
Which I wouldn’t anyway. Their sizing and quality is very inconsistent. I have other suppliers that do much better work.

So, they basically want a pro-amnesty President so they can get cheap labor and not get fined.

Screw them.

The company is used to publicity, some of it unwelcome. Mr. (Dov) Charney has been sued on accusations of sexual harassment by several employees, who said he had created an uncomfortable work environment. The company denies the accusations and is fighting a case in Los Angeles, where the company designs and manufactures all of its clothing.
From this link to the company's website.

I believe most American clothing is made in Asia now. They probably are supporting McCain and Obama because of their globalist positions.
