In response to the Left-driven boycott of Whole Foods Markets over CEO John Mackey's Wall Street Journal Op-Ed opposing the ObamaCare bill, the National Tea Party Coalition is scheduling a 'buycott' encouraging the public to shop Whole Foods on Sept. 1.
On Aug. 24, I reported here at Digital Journal on the boycotts of FOX conservative pundit Glenn Beck and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey by Obama supporters, driven by organizations like Color For Change and UFCW, the food workers' union. Those boycotts have led to backlashes by supporters of Glenn Beck and John Mackey, which have since resulted in significant losses of customers for GEICO Insurance and Sargento Foods. Both companies withdrew from advertising on the Glenn Beck show at the behest of Color For Change, an African-American advocacy group with close ties to the White House. Now from Gateway Pundit comes the news that the National Tea Party Coalition is throwing its weight behind a "buycott" for Whole Foods scheduled for Tuesday, September 1st, encouraging all its members and the public to shop Whole Foods in moral and financial support of its embattled CEO, John Mackey:
Tea Party Patriot Gina Loudon in St. Louis is asking everyone to hang on to their grocery money until Tuesday, and we will provide sales circulars for people to shop with. Then we will have dinner together for those who want to stay after they shop. Anyone who cannot attend should SAVE THEIR RECEIPTS and mail them to Gina.

I’ll be sure to go there on Tuesday. We can’t afford to do our main shopping there, but we’ve been twice in the last couple of weeks because of this boycott from the lefties. We had never been there before.
I think I’ll go on Monday instead. The parking lot is usually full, so on Tuesday I’m sure it will be on overload. One of my favorite stores!
Rats, I have to shop tomorrow. I am sorry; Tuesday I cannot go there but tomorrow I can.
wow.. I’m shopping tomorrow.
Well, then, I’ll see you there on Monday. ;)
remember: they sell a lot more than just tofu and crunchy granola!
I wish we had one near here. Nice stores except the clientel is a bit iffy, but I hear that is getting better.
What a great idea. I sometimes go to the Whole Foods in Union Square in NYC, and I’ve always enjoyed the meat and produce I’ve bought there. I think I’ll participate in this.
Cool.
OK; don’t forget your Whole Paycheck! LOL. I love that store but organic is ‘spensive. Still, we buy real foods and make them ourselves instead of packaged stuff, mostly.
Boycott = Sept 1st
full cart = Sept 1st

I think they sell on Amazon in which case I will go buy a bunch of stuff from them.
There’s a certain type of oatmeal that I’ve only found there. Guess Tuesday is the day to go get it!
I’m getting some more of the Bolthouse Farms coffee drink. Wal-Mart no longer sells it.

Boycotters: STFU
