Boycott Tyson products

This is my first vanity post, so be nice!

I just heard on FoxNews that the meat packing company "Tyson" will be closing Monday to allow their employees so march in the protest on May 1st, whihc is this coming Monday. Are they an American company? They seem to forget they it's "Americans that purchase their product and keep them in business.... I also left them an email on thier website stating my feelings on them supporting this protest march...

Okay, I feel better now..... Thank you! Pleasse also go to the Tyson website and leave them an email as to how you feel....

"You are pretty much going to have to boycott all meat products. Illegal immigrants make up a substantial portion of the meat processing work force throughout this country. You might want to consider boycotting fruits and vegetables as well since many of those are picked by illegals. Grains are probably still safe, though not exactly Atkins friendly."

Only if you're too lazy to either: (a) grow your own, or (b) spend the few minutes it takes to find a "local" source of meat processing (aka a "butcher"- yes, they still exist ;) and/or fresh fruits/veggies.

Contrary to popular belief, much less the efforts of "agribiz" and the USDA, the small(er), independent American farmer is still in business (although barely ) and will be more than happy to supply you with all the "home-grown" fruits, veggies, dairy, and meat you desire. Heck, they'll even "thank-you" for your patronage. :)

Isn't that a violation of my 1st ammendment rights to jail me for asking a question? What is this country coming to when the rights of an illegal take precedent over the rights of a citizen?

I quit buying Tyson chicken years ago after learning of their involvement with the Clintons.

The Pilgrim's Pride chicken plant in Chattanooga will be open on Monday. They are planning a very light day though. The local Koch's chicken plant will be closed. It is sad that illegals have infiltrated our country so easily and now have so much control.

Dumb, dumb, dumb move by Tyson.

They just admitted that they have ILLEGALS ON THE PAYROLL!

This is the sum total of your accomplishment.

I don't eat chicken. Does Tyson make anything else?

Yeah, they make buffalo wings too. :-)

Well yeah! Been doing this since they got clinton to relax the adulteration limits for fresh chicken for water and fecal matter in the early 1990s. And since it was found out they were actively bringing illegals into the country in the mid 1990s.

Actually, we should probably request that their corporate charter be revoked.

Reward legal immigrants!

I understand your sentiments..... but how'ya gonna know who is legal and who is illegal. ..... Someone may get insulted if you ask or assume.... Peace.


That's right. It would be racist to ask if they are illegal. The President, John Kerry, McCain, Lindsey Graham, Hilary Clinton would say you are a racist so how would you be able to ask?
