We also boycott Tysons. My son gave up Chicken McNuggets completely, although we did start eating at McDonald's again after the widow Kroc departed this mortal plain.
Some here on FR think mixing politics with purchases is going a bit overboard. As a former dem, I can vouch for the saying, "Everything is political." I was taught, early on, not to get attached to anything that smacked of non-union Protestant Republicanism. So now I'm teaching my son that it's senseless to support liberals, since they hate us and everything we stand for.
Radical? Just a tad. But what's the point of teaching your kids to be wishy-washy when it comes to values. Besides, it makes for great conversation at Parent-Teacher conferences.

Amen to that! I think the pocketbook says a lot more than our voices in this day and age. I don't care if it seems as though it is going overboard. To me, its a matter of principle, and my children learn valuable lessons through this small form of activism.

PROCTER & GAMBLE COMES OUT OF CLOSET, NOW PUSHING HOMOSEXUAL TV AGENDA
Procter & Gamble, maker of Crest, Tide and Pampers, is the leading sponsor of two TV programs that continually push the homosexual agenda.
The sitcom Will & Grace regularly promotes homosexuality and explicit sex-talk with jokes about male and female genitalia, masturbation, oral sex and even anal sex. The series' two male stars both protray homosexuals. From the beginning, the series has been about nothing but sex.
Will & Grace is the program that showed two men passionately kissing each other.
According to Broadcasting & Cable online magazine, P&G was the top sponsor of Will & Grace between September 2003 and February 2004. P&G spent an astonishing $8.2 in sponsorship of this program promoting the homosexual agenda.
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy depicts five homosexual men remaking the "cluttered, straight men of the world" so that they look, dress and act in the manner of the "cool" and, by implication, superior "gay" community. The program consistently seeks to validate and glorify the homosexual lifestyle.
Between September 2003 and February 2004, P&G spent $2,000,000 in sponsorship of this program promoting the homosexual agenda.
Remember that P&G pulled all their advertising support from Dr. Laura's program after a complaint from the homosexual community. P&G will support programs that are pro-homosexual, but refuse to support programs that tell the truth about homosexuality!
Procter & Gamble has become a leading advocate for the homosexual lifestyle. For more information on P&G's promotion of homosexuality, click here.
Please support the boycott of P&G, and ask others to do so.
