I called their headquarters and left a message.

Said I was disgusted that they would be bowing to union agitators. Said I was sorry that free speech was dead in America.

One reason for the group's disapproval of Mackey holding both positions is due to his editorial opposing Obama's proposed health care reform.

Well, isn't that sweet. I bought one of my kids a Whole Foods gift certificate for Christmas. I guess I won't be doing that again!

The activist group believes Mackey misused the company in an effort to advance his personal political views.

And what are these 'noble', good for nothing, activists doing?!

It's his freaking company you dumb*sses! Of course, what would a bunch of life long, sorry *ss activists know about running a business or how it began?!

Whole Foods wants to appease some communist scumbags?
Nah, that’s not a place I will take my business to anymore.
Buh-bye, Whole Foods.

“steps down as chairman” is really a nothing news story. He is still the CEO.

I wonder what their reaction would have been if he wrote an editorial coming out in favor of Obama’s health care “reform”.

This is nothing new. When Unions come to a little power; they do this.

When I saw this information a few days ago their voicemail was taking messages.

Most likely if you call during their business hours you might get someone to speak with you.

I called once before when they were being assailed for carrying products from Israel.

Obama’s tax increases are going to hit the customers of Whole Foods really hard; and a lot of them will be forced to shop somewhere else.
