This is my first vanity post, so be nice!

I just heard on FoxNews that the meat packing company "Tyson" will be closing Monday to allow their employees so march in the protest on May 1st, whihc is this coming Monday. Are they an American company? They seem to forget they it's "Americans that purchase their product and keep them in business.... I also left them an email on thier website stating my feelings on them supporting this protest march...

Okay, I feel better now..... Thank you! Pleasse also go to the Tyson website and leave them an email as to how you feel....

Freeping Strategy-
May 1st is now

Thank A LEGAL Immigrant Who Chooses To Work Day

Go to a Mexican Restaurant that chooses to stay open and give the legal immigrants who are working that day a big tip.

Visit Mexican Grocery stores owned by legal immigrants and spend a LOT of money.

Reward legal immigrants!

Actually, if you read the information on this, they are being 'forced' to because so many people will be off work they cannot keep the plants open:

I don't think we should blindly punish Tyson until we have more information on their motivation. It sounds as though they are a victim of the protests.

A reasonably good first posting. Welcome DHCL.

[OldFriend]

Always have, always will.

Their products were so substandarad that Russia refused to allow them into their country, even with slick willie begging.

"Does Tyson make anything else?"

Clinton president.

[12th_Monkey]

Havent bought Tyson since Clinton ran for his first term. No Heinz since '04. May not make a diff, but it makes me feel better...

[libertarianPA]

Unforgivable :)

[Rakkasan1]

complicit either way. f 'em.

[SengirV]

EXACTLY what I've done as well.

[libertarianPA]

I haven't bought Ben & Jerry's for a year - when I found out they were helping fund Cindy Sheehan's bus tour.

I've been boycotting Tyson since I learned he was a big *sshole buddy of Beelzebubba.

[mnehring]

So a victim of a crime is now guilty of being complicit of the crime?

[RushCrush]

Ok, guess it will be like a Lenten Friday :)

Good Job!
We were having this discussion earlier today. Many communities north of me are filling up with the illegals because of the poultry industry. I can do without chicken. Keep it up food industry. I will plant my own garden too.
