No Crest, No Tide, No problem.
Done.
Whew! I was afrid I was going to half to lose a client, but the pharma divison was not implicated. LOL :)
Glad I don'T use crest (puke) or Tide though!
Corporate America loves gays. Far fewer of them have kids or even monogamous, long term relationships, than straights. This means fewer work-home conflicts. Also, at the most sinister level, the general tendency of gays to shun Judeo-Christian morality makes them generally more amoral. Especially from the standpoint of the late 20th century utopian globalist mentality which has taken over the corporate world over the past 25 or so years, having well educated, hard working, non family oriented, amoral people increasingly staffing middle and now even upper ranks of management, is considered advantageous. And if anyone thinks I don't know what I am talking about here, all I can say is, I quite literally have seen this with my own eyes, in Fortune 500 firms where I have superb access.
Major Ministries Boycott Crest, Tide 9/21/2004
By Robert Knight
Focus on the Family, American Family Association protest Procter & Gamble’s aid to homosexual activists in Cincinnati ballot measure.
Tide detergent and Crest toothpaste, two top-selling consumer products, are the targets of a nationwide boycott led by two major Christian organizations to protest parent company Procter & Gamble’s (P&G) donation to a homosexual political campaign in Cincinnati.
Homosexual activists are attempting to overturn Cincinnati’s Issue 3 law, which bars the city from creating special rights based on “sexual orientation.” Federal courts have upheld the law, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to it. Cincinnati citizens passed the law in 1993 with more than 60 percent of the vote in response to the city council’s adoption of “sexual orientation” language in civil rights ordinances.
With the aid of a $10,000 donation from Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble, and help from national organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, homosexual activists are attempting to overturn the law with a petition drive and ballot vote. The boycott got underway last week, when Focus on the Family Chairman James Dobson and American Family Association (AFA) President Don Wildmon announced it on radio and on their organizations’ Web sites.
Both groups accused P&G of aiding the movement to legalize same-sex “marriage” by undermining a law that protects against challenges to current marriage law.
"For Procter & Gamble to align itself with radical groups committed to redefining marriage in our country is an affront to its customers," Dobson said in a CitizenLink article. "An overwhelming majority of Americans — the men and women who buy this company's products — oppose same-sex ‘marriage.’ To give no thought to their views while selling out to a very small special-interest group is not only bad business, it's bad for the country.
"Procter & Gamble has had its problems in the past," Dobson added, "in terms of the sexualized television programming it has sponsored, but what it's doing now threatens the cornerstone of our society: the family."
Jan LaRue, Concerned Women for America’s chief counsel, commented on the boycott: “The Tide’s out, and furthermore, Crest causes moral decay.” Concerned Women for America does not endorse boycotts, with the exception of the pro-family boycott of the Walt Disney Company.
The P&G boycott is the second major confrontation between pro-family groups and P&G in recent years. In 2000, several groups met with senior P&G officials to urge the company to stop sponsoring TV programs laden with sex and violence. The officials were polite but noncommittal. However, no boycott was launched.
“We’ve had our fill of it,” said Cincinnati-based Citizens for Community Values President Phil Burress, who is also active in the boycott. “Once this gets rolling, there will be no stopping it,” he said.
AFA President Don Wildmon told AgapePress: "Procter & Gamble, to my knowledge, is the first corporation in this country that has given money for a political campaign pushing the homosexual political agenda."
Wildmon also noted that the company recently wrote to P&G employees and urged them to support the revocation of the city law that prohibits granting special rights to homosexuals. AFA has a petition form on its Web site for people who want to send a message to P&G.

But, but I thought P&G sold off Crisco a few years back - so why are they playing footsie with the rump wranglers?
No trouble at all. We already buy all P&G-type products from Amway/Quixstar.
Refusing to buy Crest and Tide is great, but if you really want to make an impact, switch from Folgers to another brand of coffee. Folgers is another PG product.
Moon and stars redux.
There's certainly nothing about the faggots on their external website.
Make no mistake, dobson lives for the attention he gets from silly "boycotts" like this.....
In my opinion
