Thank you for your time
This is a list of companies that we have verified have changed their corporate policy to discontinue financial support for the Boy Scouts over the Scouts refusal to permit openly homosexual men to serve as Scoutmasters. In some cases the companies are withholding funding that had previously been funneled through a corporate funded foundation.
CVS (Drugstore chain in the Northeast)
Knight-Ridder Newspapers
Levi-Straus
Medtronics (A large medical device manufacturer)
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Orlando Sentinel
Portland General Electric (Oregon)
Textron

I am a strong supporter of the Boy Scouts because of their stand on traditional values. It is one of the few organizations that will stand up to the humanist agenda to degrade our value system. In talking with Scout leaders, while a number of them are supportive of homosexual Scout leaders, most of them would leave Scouting if this changed. Although I am not LDS, I deal a lot with LDs Scout units and I can affirm that they would leave the Scout program almost en masse. in California, LDS is a significant component of the Scouting program and it would really hurt to have them leave.
In a way, this makes it almost a no-brainer on the Boy Scouts continued stand on the issue. Even if they are getting beat up financially to some degree over the homosexual issue, the consequences of caving in would be much more dire than losing a few contributions that will eventually be made up elsewhere. Don't look for the Boy Scouts to change their mind on this issue - it is just not in the cards.

You should register at the scout forum and let them know this. Everyone should comment on his or her views of this policy so that there is no mistake. There are those on the scout forum who believe that some of their members are voting more than once because of the rise in numbers being recorded. They need to know that there are people behind every vote. I believe we all understand the scout oath to be morally straight and I have faith that those who vote will overwhelmingly do the proper thing and vote once.
