Thank you for the link! I used it to find the closest store, AND to email a Thank You to Mr. Mackey.
Here is my email -

Thank you Mr. Mackey,

Your opinion on the Healthcare debate was a most welcome breath of fresh air and freedom. While I am normally not a regular Whole Foods shopper, simply because there is not one in my area, I have had the pleasure of patronizing your stores in Atlanta. When I happened upon an article about your views on the Healthcare issue, I was moved to contact you, and even better, discovered that there is in fact, a store less than 2 hours south of me in Florida! I will most certainly start making it a regular stop on my trips south, and will encourage my Mother and sister, and friends, to do the same, AND to spread the good word.

Many years ago, I began a return to foods that were as simple, and unprocessed as possible, since I increasingly came to see that the more processed a “food” was, the less able our bodies seemed to be able to know exactly what to do with it. It is my opinion, that many of our health problems today, can be directly attributed to the ever increasing dependence on the “new and improved!”, and “now easier than before!”, “boxed foods” that fill the typical grocery store. Our whole family has benefited from my “alternative” point of view, and that is why I am writing to you today.

More and more, I see government intruding into our lives, and usurping our freedom to make our own choices. This must stop. The very essence of this nation is founded upon the freedom of it’s citizens to choose for themselves, with the clear understanding that we alone bear the responsibility for the consequences of those choices. Contrary to current opinion, government’s job is NOT to protect us from ourselves! Government cannot possibly know what is best for me, so they need to step way back, and leave us to the business of managing our own lives.

We cannot, and should not step back from this fight, and I thank you again, for stepping forward to say Enough, with us, and for us.

Your newest customer,
