From Brinkers site. If we could all choose our family members, life would be this delicious!
Just like your family, our family of restaurant brands has changed and matured over the years. A few of our brands have found new homes, new families, new adventures. And we’re proud of each one of them. We’re also extremely proud of our current family of brands. Take a look for yourself and see just how delicious life can be!You can't make this stuff up!
Maybe show them some FreePower.
The purpose of this letter is point out what I, and millions of Americans believe, is a criminal enterprise that is destroying the family structure that your organization seems to hold dear. I am pointing to a recent article posted here http://www.lifenews.com/2017/01/25/chilis-restaurants-in-two-states-giving-15-of-your-meal-purchase-to-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz/ with a coupon for 15% of the patrons purchase benefiting Planned Parenthood.It had an issue with the "Check Number" so 1234 worked.
I do not wish to list the crimes committed by PP here, you as an American should be aware of the many news items over the last few years including undercover video. But I would point out that the current decisive political climate created by the previous administration is placing Chili's in the cross hairs of God loving, family loving, Americans who see Planned Parenthood's practices as one of the most decisive issues we have.
It would behoove you to rethink the "charities" Chili's decides to support.

Dear Mr. Greg,
At Chili’s, we have a longstanding history and take pride in giving back to unite our local communities together. We recognize every community is unique, and encourage our restaurant managers and franchise partners to support causes that help bring communities together and leave a positive impact on our valued Guests, neighbors, friends and families we serve.
On Wednesday, we learned that an independent franchise partner of Chili’s in Indiana and Kentucky made the decision to host a Chili’s Give Back Event on behalf of Planned Parenthood Indiana and Kentucky.
While our franchise partner had the best intentions, we have received growing feedback and concern from community members regarding the Give Back Event. This feedback does not reflect Chili’s focus on bringing communities together and the event was never intended to be viewed as a partisan event or political statement, therefore we, along with our franchise partner, have decided to cancel the event.
We will more clearly communicate the focus of Chili’s charitable giving efforts, so that our restaurant managers and franchise partners can feel empowered to support local organizations that bring communities together.
Sincerely,
Chili’s Guest Engagement Team
