J.C. Penney stock crashes with news of gay marriage support

Simply put, people are not shopping at J.C. Penney. AFA and OneMillionMoms are showing success in the effort to educate people to Penney's aggressive national campaign to promote "gay" marriage.

The company is going downhill fast. Since February, the company stock has lost more than half its value, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its credit rating on J.C. Penney Co. further into "junk" status.

First-year CEO Ron Johnson's decisions have led to disastrous results for the company. Rather than build on the faith-based traditions of founder James Cash Penney, Johnson has abandoned family values and taken the company into a financial tailspin by embracing social activism.

Families are the backbone of Penney's existence. As long as it pushes homosexual marriage, families will go elsewhere.

TAKE ACTION

Make a personal phone call to J.C. Penney's customer service department. Urge them to return to family values and stop pushing the gay marriage agenda.

Their numbers are 972-431-8200 (customer service) and 972-431-1000 (corporate headquarters).

Because JCP blocks emails from our server, you can also write a personal email to J.C. Penney at this email address: jcpcorpcomm@jcpenney.com.

That’s what I don’t understand. The demographics aren’t there, in fact they would indicate that a company would take the opposite stance if they felt the need to take a stance at all. All part of the upside down world we’re living in.

[QT3.14]

J. C. PENNYLESS?

[Wyatt's Torch]

LMAO!!! You really think their sales and subsequent stock price collapse is due to their gay marriage stance and not the fact that their new CEO has completely tried to change the JCP retail pricing model? Yeah it couldn’t have anything to do with three analysts downgrading the stock in March and the repeated battering of the new CEO for his re-org and pricing schemes. Financial fundamentals? That’s just crazy talk... No it has to be about gay marriage. Everyone knows investors don’t want to just make money and care more about social issues. Correlation does not equal causation.

[ducttape45]

Gee, who didn’t see this coming?!?!? I DID!!!!

[Quickgun]

JC Penney however has turned into an absolute garbage store, the selection is terrible, the prices are mediocre, the service is crap and all the social activist stuff just piles on top there, the new CEO has been nothing short of a disaster and has brought that company to its knees. Obama is running the company?

Read the damn chart in the article! Are You stupid, or just dumb? In February 2012 when they announced Ellen Degenerate would be their SpokesIT, their stock was $43 and change, then they came out with a catalog with “Gay Moms” and the stock dropped to $35+/-!, then a month or two later, they came out with their “GAY DAD’S” Catalog and their stock plummetted to $25+/-, and then in this July, a mere 6 months later, their stock is declared “JUNK” by S&P and their stock is now $20+/- a few pennies and when I sell mine tomorrow I will expect to see $16+/-! Am I P*SSED over the amount I have lost in six months because of this new Sex Pervert CEO that has robbed me of well over half my Investment? You can be sure I am Furious! I am fed up with this Gay/Lesbian F*G Society that is being pushed to destroy American Family Values! Families are not and will not buy at J.C. Penny’s anymore, we are Furious! Shove your gay American Agenda! Sandusky was the Poster Child of gay America! I used to joke that I was happy with Gays because they didn’t like women! Now I understand they are SICK PERVERTS!

Fell in love again with Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter! :)

You too huh!

[onedoug]

At least they have sneakers there that aren’t made in China.

[RinaseaofDs]

These genius’ also decided they didn’t need clerks anymore. Not sure if they’ve noticed who’s shopping there, besides us. Not sure they can operate a checkout by themselves.

[Spktyr]

That’s nice. But those aren’t exclusive to JCP, and you can buy them in other stores. For less.

[True Republican Patriot]

AMEN! with the exception that your 2% is probably over generous! It’s probably on the low side of 1%, but to hear the Drive-by Media, lots of Americans believe Gay Perverts are at lest 25% of the population! That is sick! and shows how effective their Propagada is on the dumbed down American Population!

Don't know about starbucks.

We are urging customers across the globe to 'Dump Starbucks' because it has taken a corporate-wide position that the definition of marriage between one man and one woman should be eliminated and that same-sex marriage should become equally 'normal'. As such, Starbucks has deeply offended at least half its US customers, and the vast majority of its international customers.

On January 24th, 2012, Starbucks issued a memorandum declaring that same-sex marriage 'is core to who we are and what we value as a company.

Starbucks also used its resources to participate in a legal case seeking to overturn a federal law declaring marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

In many areas of the world where Starbucks does business, the concept of 'gay marriage' is unheard of and deeply offensive to cultural, moral and religious values.

In taking these actions, Starbucks has declared a culture war on all people of faith (and millions of others) who believe that the institution of marriage as one man and one woman is worth preserving.

A portion of every cup of coffee purchased at a Starbucks anywhere in the world goes to fund this corporate assault on marriage.

We urge consumers across the globe to join the 'Dump Starbucks' campaign.

In addition to Starbucks coffee shops, the Starbucks Corporation also owns Seattle's Best Coffee, Evolution Fresh, Tazo Tea, Torrefazione Italia Coffee, and La Boulange.

I’m thinking of getting another just so I can cancel it :)

[TribalPrincess2U]

No more Penneys for me.

I canceled my new cc long ago because
they sent me cc/info ALL IN SPANISH!

How dumb is that?

>individuals who feel entitled to change the definition for all society=scourge of the earth<

[True Republican Patriot]

I dumped Starbucks years ago because of their Political Crap!
Been a Loyal Paneras Coffee Customer ever since, and they are so much more customer friendly and have actual Healthy Foods and Breads, and freshly baked, verses the overpriced Crap Starbucks expects one to buy! Starbucks is just one more Liberal/Progressive Arm of the Demorat Party, just like Ben and Jerrys!

The pity of it is the real losers will be average Americans who own JCP stock thru their mutual funds and don’t even know it. On the other hand, the metrosexuals in the boardroom who instituted gaytopia will award themselves 50 million dollar parachutes on their way out.

[DIXIEBELLE2012]

Good! Another one to add to my will not purchase from list.

JCP is about the only “quality” clothing store option within 1 hr of where we live. Alternatives include Walmart, Goodwill and Salvation Army.

Mrs NHD has gone there a few times over the past several weeks. What were standard items are now gone from the shelves. We expect it to be closed within, at most, months.
