My next Ice Cream purchase shall be Haagen-Daz.

I understand boycotting but it's been so overdone. Earlier I was filling my car's gas tank (having stopped at the bank to take out a 2nd mortgage) and noticed the next car had a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker to offset my Bush/Cheney bumper stickers. The gas station is in business to sell gas, period. They don't care where we stand politically, nor should they .. they provide a service or product we can choose to buy or not. I don't think, barring egregious behavior, we should get our politics involved. The companies that caved to the boycott threats have bad management.

I just sent them a thank you note!

Bump

Carbs for my family, not for me.

I recommend--Pillsbury **frozen** biscuits. They are delicious. There's a lot of different kinds, they're better than my homemade. It's nice to be able to have fresh biscuits with dinner! "Flaky layers" is what my family likes best. Blue bag, in the frozen section.

OK.

BTW if you go to the boycottsinclairbroadcasting website, you can get a bunch of email addresses and phone numbers of people that they want you to boycott, but you (I am) can do the EXACT opposite and express your support...

[OldFriend]

I emailed my thanks too.

[milford421]

I sent my thank you e-mail...

You won't be sorry! But don't blame me if you get addicted... ;-)

LOL now you know why I don't want to post a link.

I think they also own the Olive Garden restaurant chain. They (General Mills) have a good reputation for very high sanitation standards.

LOL! That's good to know. I like sanitary things.

[hsrazorback1]

Yes, they do own Olive Garden and Red Lobster. I think there's a few others, also.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Looks like I support them pretty well already, I sent a thankyou even though we are not one of the lucky one to receive the program.

[Mo1]

A few of the cowardly ones have given in but General Mills deserves kudos for not giving in to the Leftists!

Guess who gets my business

And with 3 kids and neighborhood kiddies to feed .. I spend a lot on food bills

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Well, I haven't been to Olive Gardens in quite awhile...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I know the feeling, when the kids were growing, we had two refrigerators and a Deep Freeze with aged Beef.

SBV's, Sinclair, all these courageous people and actions are bringing conservatives "out of the closet" everywhere!

I smell the rotting flesh of 50 years of arrogant, fascist liberalism...keep the pressure on!
