We are winning! Several days ago Stephanie Wilkinson kicked Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of her Red Hen restaurant because Sanders worked for President Trump. Not polite, not nice. As we found out more, like that Stephanie Wilkinson is executive director of Main Street Lexington, which promotes downtown Lexington businesses, I dug up the names and email of her partner businesses and suggested we write them. That discussion thread has several hundred comments and likely resulted in lots of email to these people.
It did! Look at this morning's Fox News Report at http://video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id=5802047887001
So, here's our challenge. Write a new or a follow-up email to keep the pressure on these people!
Pops88 suggested this email, which is great follow-up: "As of today I’ve seen no public apology on the Main Street Lexington website or Facebook page. Therefore, I can only assume your tacit support of Stephanie Wilkinson and her employees. I have visited Lexington, but will not in the future. I will not knowingly patronize a town or it’s businesses that either openly or silently approve of bigotry, hatred and intolerance."
My original emails to these 21 Lexington business partners at Main Street Lexington was: "As you likely know, Stephanie Wilkinson, owner of Red Hen, booted Sara Huckabee Sanders and her family from her restaurant last night because of who she works for. This is bigotry, wrong. Sarah was there to order dinner off the menu, she didn’t announce who she was, didn’t ask for special treatment, wasn’t rude. Stephanie is executive director of Main Street Lexington, which your company is a member of. So, do you agree with her bigotry, is this what Main Street Lexington promotes, and is it what your business promotes? This is a question I will be asking of all local businesses and post on my blog and on public blogs. Your county voted 62% for Trump. Incredible to see a local business leader and business show such bigotry. Should we boycott not just Red Hen, but your Main Street Lexington organization, your business, and Lexington?"
Here is my original post on Saturday: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3665629/posts and here are the emails you can write to asking her Main Street Lexington sponsors, partners, and members if they support her bigotry:

And was it our emails? You bet. Look at the report by Fox this morning: http://video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id=5802047887001
Congrats!
“Stephanie Wilkinson is booted from Main Street Lexington!”
Let me be the first to offer Ms Wilkinson my heartfelt sympathy...
