Sent the following email but I don't know how polite they will thing it is.
'Nobody is going to take you or your organization seriously if you can't be civil to all of your customers including the ones whose politics you don't agree with including Mrs. Sanders.'
Ask them all to answer some pointed questions.
1) does your business prefer Trump employees NOT enter or engage in commerce
2) does your business feel the same about Trump supporters, who share the same values and positions as the Trump administration?
3) do you agree with the Red Hen that your business is fully justified in throwing out patrons because of political affiliation
4) are you going to go on record as condemning the Red Hen for its intolerance and hate
5) would you like to put a sign in your window telling all Trump people (employees and supporters) that you do not wish to engage in commerce with them
It would be interesting to see if a line is drawn, and where.
I support President Trump. Is my business welcome in your establishment? Or is it only those working in his administration that are treated like pariahs, in your *cough* “fair” town?
My message close to a dozen of them ^^^^^^^^^^^
Lot of this going around. Server at restaurant bragged about it online and it went viral. If she didn’t tweet about it, she would have been asked about it. She probably had emails from reporters in her inbox when she tweeted. https://t.co/50qWBUoPt3— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) June 23, 2018

Where libs eat free!
I left a message with the restaurant. No cursing, no yelling, just letting them know how ashamed they should be for being so nasty to a good woman, wife, and mother. I said they were mean. Then hung up.
“Just found out that the Executive Director of Main Street Lexington, Stephanie Wilkinson, kicked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family out of the Red Hen Restaurant for purely political reasons. Is this bigotry true of your entire Main Street membership and staff as well? As someone who has served on our local Main Street Board for many years, I am appalled to see the Main Street name tarnished by the disrespectful actions of your Executive Director -— so very contrary to what Main Street is supposed to be all about. Do you agree with her bigotry, and support your affiliation with Red Hen owner Stephanie Wilkinson? What are you going to do to rectify this situation?”
I’ve been reading the Yelp reviews. Lots of people are pissed off.
Where we go one, we go ALL.
According to the Red Hen’s menu, BUFFALO CREEK BEEF and DONALD’S MEATS, both of Lexington, Va. supply this restaurant.
Both of these companies need to hear from us, as well!
This business and it’s owner ought to be due for a detailed IRS audit about now too.
Time for us to boycott Lexington, until she is removed. Most of Main Street looks like Yuppieville.
Stopped in Lexington to visit an old friend at VMI while on my way to Fort Lee while on TDY. Decided to to eat at this restaurant and was appalled at the uncleanliness of the place: bathrooms were third-world atrocious and there was food and trash on the floor underneath the tables. I'm glad that it took so long for the service to arrive because it gave me a chance to act on my second thoughts and leave the premises before I caught something that Army medicine might not be able to cure.
Ping for later

And was it our emails? You bet. Look at the report by Fox this morning: http://video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id=5802047887001
Congrats!
