Staring down the prospect of a public relations crisis boycott threats and "die-in" protests included over its donations to Republican gubernatorial hopeful Adam Putnam, Publix said Friday it has halted all corporate political contributions.
The supermarket giant made the announcement moments before a "die-in" protest planned by David Hogg, a vocal Parkland school shooting survivor and gun control activist. Despite the news, Hogg and dozens of protestors sprawled on the floor of a Coral Springs Publix for 12 minutes clutching sunflowers and signs that read "No NRA Money."
Hogg and other students began their influential movement for gun control in the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that left 17 dead and 17 wounded. They've taken aim particularly at the National Rifle Association, and were angered at the news of the grocer's unprecedented support for Putnam, who once boasted he was a "proud NRA sellout."
At $670,000 over the last three years, it's the largest contribution the company has made in more than two decades and possibly the biggest in company history.

Ok then; where is the link to this story that YOU have posted on FR?
Cover all your bases?
10 people??? Well, I can see now why Publix was so frightened...
They had to , to keep the large teenage clientele they have. /s
Heard over the intercom, "Cleanup in Aisle 6!".
Shake-down, Hogg-down
?who?
I'm pretty sure he didn't. He went ahead with the so-called die-in, didn't he?
LOL!!!
Fill the Cart with any liquids. How many Gallons of H2O will a Cart hold 36+ 8.34 pounds @ Gallon ?
36*8.34=300.24+Cart+Cart Drivers weight=500.00+/- pounds.
Parked on pigboys neck...
The political militarised students.
Unfortunately, conservatives can do nothing about it.
Trump even had to sign the omnibus spending bill to fund the lib/prog’s priorities in education system.
You do know how to post an article/subject, for discussion, don't you?
So, what you’re saying is that Publix is an equal opportunity donator?
even in death their cling to their selfie-phones and take virtue signaling vanity pictures.
Now the REAL boycott begins...
It’s all political intimidation and the FEC never does crap. Disband it altogether.
Knock and drag continues in Democrat neighborhoods. They’ll bully black voters who support the wrong candidate or party.
DNC brownshirts thug the vote.
I would have started mopping the floors with ammonia
I am stuck with Publix, because they produce the best carrot cake, cannoli’s and cheesecakes. I will not give up my favorite desserts for political reasons.
At least, Publix is staying neutral, and did not agree to give $1 Million contribution to democrats as Hogg boy demanded.
Because only liberals are allowed to donate to leftist causes promoting the same old failed leftist ideas.
Theses spoiled parkland kids have been taken advantage of by local democrats who are only using them to as pawns to push their same old failed polical policies.
The same democrats and policies that let a crazy kid go free after numerous incidents which would have had him confined and disarmed in most other counties or states.
Democrats just took advantage of the kids ignorances and emotions to turn them into more political cannon flouter.
its sick, but so are most places democrats run.
Liberals never seem to understand the irony they create.
It takes intelligence to understand how logic works, so i guess that explains it
