Wow, California state senators are very powerful. I wonder if Moonbeam knows that the senator is ordering a boycott of Lowes? Actually, Lowes would be wise not to do business with the state because it will soon be in the same shape as Illinois which doesn’t pay its vendors. Smart move would be to tell them to go over to Home Depot.

islam is an afront to civilization and is at war with America
Lowes was right to walk away from the propaganda piece and I will support them for it

“(You get what you tolerate)” You realize that’s a BRILLIANT line, don’t you?

That line is universal. In 1957 I was a student representative to the Wisconsin governors conference on children and youth. In my speech I stated that the communities in Wisconsin would get the exact level of juvenile misbehavior that they would tolerate. That remains true today!!!

Totally, and it applies so many ways.

Sorry, the hack’s name isn’t Torrance, but Lieu. Rather, he’s from Torrance.

I'm thinking that, if Lowe's has a store in Torrance, they might want to consider shutting it down and relocating if this guy's threat of legislative action comes about.

If Lowe's slaps his constituents with job losses and sales tax losses, they might think twice about returning him to Sacramento.

Ding ding ding ding !!!

We have a winner !!
(and just look at all that free advertising Lowe’s is getting !)

I’ll bet you a beer Home Depot steps in with advertising in say, 48 hours or so.

He was not even born here. He was born in Taiwan. If he had any decency he would restrain himself. So he immigrates here to behave like this? This is typical of far too many immigrants

You can go online to Lowes.com, go to Contact Us, go to Lowe’s Corporate, and eventually find a page where you can send them an email. I just sent them a quick one telling them to stand their ground, it is their right.

Lowes e-mail contact link.
