Simply put, people are not shopping at J.C. Penney. AFA and OneMillionMoms are showing success in the effort to educate people to Penney's aggressive national campaign to promote "gay" marriage.
The company is going downhill fast. Since February, the company stock has lost more than half its value, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its credit rating on J.C. Penney Co. further into "junk" status.

First-year CEO Ron Johnson's decisions have led to disastrous results for the company. Rather than build on the faith-based traditions of founder James Cash Penney, Johnson has abandoned family values and taken the company into a financial tailspin by embracing social activism.
Families are the backbone of Penney's existence. As long as it pushes homosexual marriage, families will go elsewhere.
TAKE ACTION
Make a personal phone call to J.C. Penney's customer service department. Urge them to return to family values and stop pushing the gay marriage agenda.
Their numbers are 972-431-8200 (customer service) and 972-431-1000 (corporate headquarters).

Companies need to realize that gays make up 2 percent of the population, not 20 percent. They should also realize that once they get past Hollywood, liberal educators and pandering politicians, the majority of everyone else thinks homosexuality is gross and perverted. Most people have a gay friend at work, or a perverted family member somewhere, but that doesn’t mean they want to shop at a ferry fest. It’s bad enough that there is a Sandusky hanging out on every corner, but downright disturbing to be where there is one jumping out from every clothing rack.
I will never understand these companies that want to pander to homosexuals when their customer base is middle America. Let’s face it gays do not purchase many family items. Pennys is the place to purchase school clothes and summer swimsuits. What were they thinking?
Good!
Let them die.
Food of the gods.
;)
Yup, that too. I am told that between the pro-gay and anti-coupon stuff, even fewer people are shopping there now than their already sparse clientele numbered before.
Liberal CEO’s care about wrecking their coporations as much as liberal editors and media producers care about crashing their industries.
It’s just other people’s investment money and they get paid no matter what failure they produce. Humanism is the slime that it is.
Apple never used the “NO SALES EVAR JUST ONE LOW PRICE” or the pro-gay advertising that JCP did.
Whodathunk that hiring Ellen Degenerate as Spokelesbo, and launching an All-Gay, All-The-Time ad campaign for a company that sells primarily to families and children, would have an adverse effect?
To the customer service rep reading this,
I actually feel sorry for you; you have my sympathy. I am sure you may have read several harsh emails already; many of which probably read as if the situation is your fault. The “leaders” within your company are sacrificing your company’s jobs and status on the altar of political correctness and evil. The stock price is now less than half of what it was when they announced ellen Degenerate as a spokesman. It has only been five months and the stock price has halved and the credit status reduced to junk (a reflection of JCP’s moral status).
If this trend continues, JCP will begin to layoff more employees and possibly even close stores. This at time when unemployment/underemployment is rampant; jobs are scarce and necessities like gas and food are on the rise. These employees will be left to face a frustrating job search and struggling to survive on unemployment. If CEO Ron Johnson is let go, you can guarantee he will be granted a golden parachute worth millions.
Sir or Ma’am, please do not feel that I am writing you to gloat or express glee over another’s misery. Rather, please heed this as friendly advice to seek a different job that you can turn to - as JCP loses customers, there will be less need for service representatives. I encourage you to pass this on to your co-workers.......especially your supervisors. Hopefully enough management personnel will send the sentiment higher and coupled with dismal financials, some sane member of the board will move to ouster Ron Johnson and the homosexual agenda.
Yours,

I was in a Penney’s store this week, while exploring the local mall. The whole mall looks depopulated, but that may be merely this ex-Manhattanite’s impression of the local norm.
In Penney’s, nobody was buying anything, including me. Maybe five customers in the entire store at midday.
Again, this may not be strange for the region — central Pennsylvania. I mostly shop online.
Saw a sign near the cashier that read, “Line Forms Here.” Like from a lost civilization, that. Even if you threw in the employees it wouldn’t have made a proper line.
There were several medium-ticket items I normally would have bought at Penny’s earlier this year, but I went elsewhere, knowing how the company had taken a turn toward depravity and become homo activists.
I particularly hate it when some old company with a long American history and heritage, and with whom I’ve done business with for decades, goes into the sewer this way. But once they do, I cut them no slack. They can go crash-and-burn to oblivion as far as I care.
I think you're right. I'm sure the gay thing affected people's decision a bit, but I agree with you that this was the main issue. After all, many companies announce their support of gay marriage but didn't lose half of their worth in half year.
I think the call for a boycott on General Mills is recent. Don't know about starbucks.
the Gen Mills boycott has stopped me from buying any Green Giant products. But I had already transitioned to family owned Malt-o-meal for great tasting cereal products at half the price.
I know, right? Duh-huh-huh-huh-huh!
I'm glad they were out front about it, so that the market could punish them swiftly. Whereas Proctor & Gamble, the housewares firm that has made money from families for over a century, keeps on showing the happy mommy/daddy/children families in all their coupons and print ads, but underwrites the obscene Gay Games, involves itself in gay politics in its HQ state of Ohio, imposes "sensitivity" and "diversity" propaganda on its employees, and features gay kissing in the several soap operas it sponsors. Rank hypocrisy of the silent-but-deadly variety.
Bravo..if it was something they felt they had to hide in a closet, it must have been wrong or at least disgusting, it has the same ring to it as a pedophile saying “don’t tell anybody”. Call it “Gay” if you like, but it’s still “Queer” as a 3 dollar bill.
