I have no disagreement with you. What I'm asking, is FOTF simply sabre rattling by moving from a bank that supports something they disagree with to another bank that does the same thing, but with maybe a lower profile. Or are they moving to a bank that does not support something FOTF disagrees with.

I seem to remember serveral years ago that Wal-Mart had a large fanfare and promotional coverage when the announced they were discontinuing carrying rap music due to lyric content, when they continued to carry mags such as Cosmo and other "provacative" content? And it wasn't too much later that the rap music returned to the shelves.

Is FOTF essentially doing the same thing with their bank move?

Wal-Mart has been consistent in it's actions.

The do not fill prescriptions for abortifacient birth control pills, or for post-conception medication.

Wal Mart has been seen in TV reports' hidden cams as refusing to sell X-rated videos to underage teens.

I have no problem with FOTF publicizing their decision about
Wells Fargo Bank. Maybe more people will move away from that bank and it'll get them thinking. No one is perfect, but Wal Mart does a lot of good in spite of its shortcomings(allowing government controlled unions in its China stores). If Sam Walton were still with us some of this kind of crap wouldn't be going on.
