w/r/t Levi's, real shooters wear Wranglers.

They sponsor some shooting events, as I recall.

George, I think that you are right. I think that Lee's has sponsored some events.

We need one of our NRA experts to clue us in re Levis, which we know about, Wranglers and Lees or whatever!

Living 50 miles from San Francisco, I have watched the Levi company go from an American company to a maggot infested anti American company. Its founders must be spinning in their graves!

Thursday or Friday I will send an email to every company who has pulled their ads on Maher. I support Big 5 and WalMart for selling guns and ammo in their stores and let their management know that I support them! We have to go to the big stick as an adverse punishment for PC corporations and a big carrot for when they do the right thing! The dark side has done that for years, and we have more money and more shoppers!

I DID take a look at the old link and now I understand the confusion. Now that Target is the parent company of the retail conglomerate, corporate donation policies have taken a decidedly conservative turn. It has to do with the basic, fundamental differences between the company images of Target and Hudsons. Hudsons, for decades, (as well as Daytons and Marshall Fields) has appealed to the independent, career-driven woman--the feminist. Hudsons was a big suppoter of Planned Parenthood, among other things. Target has always aimed to be a company with strong community ties, very big on putting money back into the local communities as well as encouraging employees to volunteer within the community. In our store we tutor kids at local schools in math and English, we help out with community clean-ups and all kinds of other stuff. It certainly is true that Target carries a helluva lot of merchandise made in PRC. We carry stuff made in Taiwan, too. Just because something is stocked in a store doesn't mean it has to be purchased. You don't want that DVD player made in the PRC? Get the one made in Malaysia. The consumer has the power NOT to spend money, too.
