Yep, and crazy Sen. Mark Dayton (D-MN) is heir to the Dayton-Hudson fortune. Between that and kicking out the Salvation Army, I haven't shopped there in two years and never will again. To hell with them and the idiots running Chicago. Bravo to Wal-Mart for sticking it in their eye, too.
Ah, another uninformed person...
I am pretty sure, although I can't verify, that Target decided to finally start fully enforcing its "no soliciting" rule as a result of some gay organization that wanted to solicit on Target property. In the lawsuit where the gays sued Target, they claimed that the Salvation Army was able to solicit, but they weren't. The judge ruled that the gays would be able to solicit on Target property, so you could expect your kids to hear "say YES to gay marriage" while dropping the dollar in the red Salvation Army bucket at Christmas time. Target decided the best course of action was to not have any soliciting.

Target has one of the largest and most respected corporate philanthropy programs in America, donating more than $2 million per week and hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours each year to non-profit organizations across the country. Forbes magazine recently ranked Target as the "Most Charitable Company in America."
Target also donates very heavily to Republican campaigns over Democrat campaigns.
