The salvation army is not the one running a boycott, the people are. Salvation army is hurt more by target than the other stores mentioned in the article and Target has publicly announced their ban whereas the other stores haven't. Target is not some poor store being victimized here, also if you don't want to boycott, don't, no one is forcing you to join in and if you feel really sorry for Target, then please go spend all your money there and help them out. As for me I won't be shopping there or at any other store that bans Salvation Army. I am grateful for this article naming these other stores so I now know who to include in my boycott. Salvation army is the best charity in the US as far as distributing the money to the people who need it.
You want a web site? Do a google for yourself and find all you need, don't expect someone else to do your research for you.

Actually the Salvation Army has plenty of money. The problem is that Mrs. Crock of McDonalds fame donated 1.4 billion to the Salvation Army. However, to get that money the Salvation Army must match the McDonalds donation penny for penny through donations.

However that still does not take away from the political correctness of what Target has done to themselves.

I have managed to stay out of Target since it issued its boycott against the Salvation Army and I have not died yet.

I don't even miss Target.

Maybe i can live without target for life. I will put myself in target rehab and move my wallet to SA friendly stores. Target doesn't carry anything you can't get somewhere else.

I think I shopped there out of habit, but not anymore.
