The Man From A.C.O.R.N.

Dan Fuchs said business was just starting to pick up at his kiosk in the Mall at Johnson City.
Fuchs’ business, the Graphic Edge, printed slogans and pictures on items such as coffee cups, bumper stickers and T-shirts. He said more than half of his business came from the sale of anti-Obama merchandise. Bumper stickers with slogans such as “SOS: Stop Obama’s Socialism,” “Nobama,” and “Chicago got the party, but the country got the hangover” were displayed around the small stand.
Now it appears Fuchs is out of business at the mall, but mall officials say this decision was not based upon political views.
Friday afternoon, Fuchs was handed a lease termination notice by mall officials and signed by Mall General Manager Tembra Aldridge. The letter states that the option to terminate the lease agreement is effective 11:59 p.m. today and that he must vacate the mall premises and remove his property before then.

Welcome to Free Republic. Please keep us posted on any developments. The story has interest for this board. I posted the article at 0700 on Saturday and there are currently over 3700 views on the thread.
“The mall owner is within his rights.”
not if the vendor dind’t violate anything in the lease.
Wonder why I didn’t think of that? Great idea.
Monday morning bump
Thanks. That reminds me that I have to go to work this morning. :)
Oh my! Read through some of the comments as well. Unhinged would be an accurate description of some, imo.
We need to set up a watch dog thread for these stories. Find out if this is happening all across the country.
Thanks for not bowing down to the powers that be. I will gladly sign your petition when you get it online.
Since I live quite a distance away and am unable to support you in person, I will bookmark your site and forward to a friend here in Ohio that has a gift area in his restaurant. Are your clothing articles made in the USA? That is one of his requirements.
See post #54 for your answer.
All I get are white blocks with “Obama 1” or “Bumper 1” and other sequential numbers. No pics of the item. Is it my ‘puter or are they not yet set up?
That is what I was thinking as I read through this thread.
Perhaps groups of folks at every entrance, or the surrounding public grounds, with posters stating why they are there. Similar to what the union thugs do to a non-union business.
Going inside the mall may not be the way to go, as they could throw you off of their private property.
This story has legs! Drudge picked it up today: ran a link to Monday (Sept 28) article in Johnson City Press.
Excellent news - I’m so glad conservatives are no longer just “taking it” - keep fighting!!!!

Woo Freepin’ Hoo!!
It appears they aren’t up yet.
He was scrambling on Saturday to get the website up as well as getting moved out.
I would expect thigs are pretty hectic.
airborne said there was one pic and I see nothing. Wanted to make sure it was not my 'puter, as I am having problems.
Show them a wad of currency, with 2 eyeballs, and say “ This is the money you could have made off me, if you weren’t an A-Hole”
OUTSTANDING! Hopefully, Rush, Glenn, Sean et al will do the same.
