[history]
Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., the top corporate player in Missouri politics, is no longer backing Gov. Bob Holden - in large part because of their differences over concealed weapons.
Republican and Democratic sources say the brewery's decision not to support the governor's re-election next year is highly unusual in light of its long-standing reputation as a donor which gives generously to both parties and their candidates, regardless of their views.

As a stockholder in A-B, I'm proud of "my" company standing up for 2nd Amendment rights.

Whew! What a relief!Wasn't sure what political side they were on when I clicked on this thread...I was sweating and trembling waiting for this to load. Busch Light is the only beer I can drink that doesn't make me ill and/or give me a hangover. Been drinking Busch since I was a baby, my Grandpa used to put it in my baby bottle to keep me quiet. Now I am looking forward to beer-thirty...a toast to A-B!
To: RogueIsland
A-B has ALWAYS been pro-2a as far as I remember.
I'll refrain comment on their beer....

Now Holden isn't so happy that he was toeing the Marxist line last year...

It is uncommon to see a corporation show such principle.
Now I have another reason to proudly drink my Adkins-approved Michelob Ultra.
Sigh. If they could only learn to brew better beer by the time I reach my target weight. Or maybe buy Cerveceria Moctezuma.
To: RogueIsland
They've "said it all!"
To: Southack
some nice news....a business leader showing some stones...like old man Coors used to.
in an otherwise abysmal day for our side.
