Miller Brewing Co. Responds to Immigrants Boycott to Beer
Marketing y Medios ^ | March 16, 2006

Posted on 04/02/2006 5:27:20 PM PDT by HEMICRASHBOX

Miller Brewing Co. put out an unusual one-page advertisement in Thursday's edition of Hoy in Chicago. The headline reads: "Miller Brewing Company se opone a la legislación HR4437 contra la inmigración" (Miller Brewing Company Opposes HR4437 Anti-Immigration Legislation).

The ad is in response to growing support to boycott Miller products after a group of pro-immigrant organizations in Chicago found out the company has contributed to the political campaign of Republican Sen. James Sensenbrenner, of Wisconsin. The senator is behind the HR4437 bill, which calls for strengthening the anti-immigration laws in the United States, including the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The boycott against Miller was conceived for March 10, during a massive demonstration in Chicago to protest the proposed bill, which is currently under debate in the Senate. According to the organizers, Miller Brewing Co. contributes "economically with anti-immigration politicians" such as Sensenbrenner.

According to a story in Hoy,, some small business owners said they have considered not selling any Miller products in their shops.

In a statement released Wednesday, Miller Brewing Co. stated that Miller has a long history of proudly supporting many national and local Hispanic organizations. "We hope you continue to responsibly enjoy Miller products with the knowledge that our company will continue to support the Hispanic community and the rights of immigrants," the statement read.

I lived in a barrio for a year or so. Corona was swilled in quantity, with nary a Pacifico in sight.
That may have been a local availability issue, though.

Miller's e-mail address. I'm letting them know that I've switched to Coors when it comes to mass domestics. Should have done that anyway given Pete Coor's attempt to run for the GOP in Colorado.

I quit drinking Miller when it no longer was a US-owned company. A couple of years ago, Miller was bought by SAB (South African Breweries).

I'll stick with good 'ole US made and owned BUD.

"I don't drink but a 6-pack of MIller beer will be in my shopping cart this week. I'll keep it with the Carlsberg I bought a month or so ago."

You don't understand. Miller is supporting the illegals.

Go with Pabst Blue Ribbon. Now how'd that song go ... "...what made Milwaukee famous, has made a loser out of meeeeee..."

I remember another song, with a line like: "Red pick-ups, white legs, and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer!"

I'm a town in Carolina, I am billboards in the fields
I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks, missing all my wheels

I am Pabst Blue Ribbon, American, and "Southern Serves the South"
I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign, on the rural route
I am a town

(Great song-- Mary Chapin Carpenter - "I Am a Town")
