Target Corporation will continue to ban the Salvation Army from their 1,351 stores this Christmas season. The Army will not be allowed to place their red kettles in front of Target stores.
Despite increased need caused by the hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Target continues to bar the Salvation Army.
Many observers feel that the ban by Target is a result of pressure put on the company by homosexual groups. Homosexual activists have targeted the Salvation Army for years because of the Army's refusal to recognize their lifestyle. Target is a supporter of various homosexual causes.
While Target contributes to homosexual groups, the company publicly states that they will not contribute to any religious groups. For Target, homosexual organizations are worthy of financial support, Christian and Jewish organizations are not.
Further showing Target's true colors, WTOP Radio Network in Washington, DC, reports that Target is one of the national chains that will be carrying a new line of women's products that includes a vibrator.
Elexa by Trojan spokeswoman Cassandra Johnson says the products will be discreetly packaged and sold in the feminine care aisle.
"Formerly the domain of sex shops, such products have been brought out of the shadows by popular television shows like 'Sex and the City,'" WTOP reported.
While Target continues to ban the Salvation Army, competitors such as Wal-Mart are increasing their donations to the Salvation Army. Wal-Mart and others continue to welcome the Army's kettles.
Please send an email asking Target to end their ban of the Salvation Army and their offering of a sex toy line of products. In addition, you can email Wal-Mart, thanking them for supporting the Salvation Army.

I notice Target did allow the American Red Cross.....hypocrits.
oh I know...
He attempted to expose me (for some stupid reason) on another thread as a liar becuase of my name (he claimed I was never in Iraq). Of course, since the Canteen sent me things for XMas, that was REALLY easy to debunk and eventually the mods told him that I was who I say I am because I am :)
I haven't shopped Target since they banned Salvation Army, will continue to do so.
That'd work as well.
"NO THRU TRAFFIC"?
Yeah -- heard ya the first time...
Pray tell -- Just what part of THIS had you overlooked?:

Hey, of course it's your prerogative to side with the politics and agenda of Target and it's supporters.
"Use other door. If there isn't one, try a different building."
Don't agree with Target's decision to ban them.
If anyone wants to boycott them, fine.
Doesn't change one iota the fact that Wildmon is an a-number-one first class looney tune and moron.
But hey, if you wanna follow him, it's your prerogative.
Bah! Humbug!
stay with this country.
boycotts have rarely worked. And since this exact same call for a boycott happened last year, Target posted HIGHER profits (none from me as I was out of the country last XMAS time), and they are doing whatever again, gee let's call for the same thing.
I don't live FR when I am out and about. If I need something I go get it. If it happens to be Target, so be it.
Some people don't get it...
Looks like I will be continuing to boycott Target, too. I wouldn't want to have to explain what a vibrater is to a child old enough to read "for her pleasure" or some such. And thankfully, I don't need or want one. My husband couldn't do a better job. Amazing what good sex a couple can have in a loving, committed relationship.
Mike in Iraq He's addressing you.
<---- He fell on his keyboard.
Idiot Alert! He's letting you know from the beginning of his post that it's coming from an idiot.
Then he couldn't think of anything to say, so he just clicked "Post."

Thanks for actually addressing the crux of the thread...
...And admitting where you stand and with whom on certain political/social matters.
LOL
Maybe maybe!!
LOL
He hasn't responded so I guess he is still drooling on his keyboard....
Yeah, me too. Ahem.
Or DO they?
They're either are too proud to discern the message from the messenger, or libertarians who prefer to be aligned with the dark side in the name of "freedom."
How does one achieve an organism, anyway?
The same way one achieves a three pointer in basketball. Practice, practice, practice.
Same to you.
