TOMS shoe company plans to donate $5 million to various gun control groups. The company also launched a campaign to mobilize their customers to support the gun control agenda.
One of TOMS' campaigns includes a postcard campaign. Customers can input their name and address on their website and the company will send a postcard to their representative.
Here's what the postcards say:
Dear (representative),
More than 90% of Americans support universal background checks.
And I'm one of them.
As your constituent, I urge you to stand with me and pass this life-saving legislation.
Let's end gun violence together.
Sincerely, (your name)
The company's founder, Blake Mycoskie, came to the decision shortly after the tragic shooting in Thousand Oaks, California, not far from his family's home. His wife, Heather Lang, called Mycoskie in fear.
She said, Im not dropping our son off at school this morning, and I dont know if I ever will. Were not safe. Somebodys got to do something, he told Huffington Post. It was a pretty emotional moment for us.

I mean Hildy.
Faggity is very in because gay, lesbian,trans is being rammed down our throats.
Me neither. But they must be doing OK, if they have 40 mil to throw away.
Oops. Five Million.
Stride rite, too.
Back in the day we didn’t have too many choices. White keds for girls, saddle shoes (white with black or brown) and Maryanne. A loafer when you got older.
Life was so much easier then.
So sweet.

Yeah, that. It worked. I never considered them and now never will.
If I was an employee, I would be so pissed.
Never owned Toms shoes but they have away 60 million pairs of shoes. If you buy a pair they donate a pair. That is great. 5 mil is nothing to them.
Never touched or own a gun,but believe in 2nd ammendment.
So, do you think the employees at levis are pissed?
FIRST PARAGRAPH: "TOMS shoe company plans to donate $5 million to various gun control groups."
What is this? Like a BEFORE and AFTER puzzle on Wheel of Fortune?
And, none of us are demanding you own a firearm.
And, none of us are demanding you own a firearm. Weird huh?
Me too, and I’ll be keeping them since they are paid for. I won’t be buying any new ones though.
Fortunately there are plenty of fish in that particular ocean.
I just checked my email. Guess what I found? Yep. No more TOMS for me!
Isn’t this that guy that was on Survivor who sells overpriced shoes to idiots and then takes a microscopic percentage of that ridiculously price and devotes it to making lousy shoes that no one in Africa even wants and then calls it charity?
Ok, weird to have basically the same name.
