Simply put, people are not shopping at J.C. Penney. AFA and OneMillionMoms are showing success in the effort to educate people to Penney's aggressive national campaign to promote "gay" marriage.
The company is going downhill fast. Since February, the company stock has lost more than half its value, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its credit rating on J.C. Penney Co. further into "junk" status.

First-year CEO Ron Johnson's decisions have led to disastrous results for the company. Rather than build on the faith-based traditions of founder James Cash Penney, Johnson has abandoned family values and taken the company into a financial tailspin by embracing social activism.
Families are the backbone of Penney's existence. As long as it pushes homosexual marriage, families will go elsewhere.
TAKE ACTION
Make a personal phone call to J.C. Penney's customer service department. Urge them to return to family values and stop pushing the gay marriage agenda.
Their numbers are 972-431-8200 (customer service) and 972-431-1000 (corporate headquarters).

“JC Penney however has turned into an absolute garbage store, the selection is terrible, the prices are mediocre, the service is crap and all the social activist stuff just piles on top there, the new CEO has been nothing short of a disaster and has brought that company to its knees.”
Sounds like the way Obama is running the country. Then he gives it one more kick in the groin by taking a homo stance.
I don’t find my 2 near-by Penney’s to be garbage at all - never have.
As for service, except for Nordstrom’s, the ‘nicer’ retail stores went this way years ago - kind of the K-Mart/Target method of self-shopping.
There’s labels at Penney’s at a lower price than the very same article at the ‘next level’ store - why would one pay more for the exact same thing??!
What I’ve noticed about Penney’s is a different approach to sales, replacing coupons. One week the sales rack is ‘here,’ at this discount, and the next week, it’s over ‘there,’ with additional discount - something like that, with clothes anyway!
The coupons probably are better - - -
Maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to the new way of sale-ing. . .
Some of Penney’s graphics have changed, also - kind of reflecting technology, I think.
Echoing others, I don’t see the necessity of a retail store weighing in on any social issue - what’s the point?!
Are they being badgered to do so???
JUST IGNORE IT, CEO’s
“Politics and business dont mix. Why in the name of Sam Hernandez would you want to alienate potentially half of your clientele? For every gay you get you lose six non-gays. If I were a stockholder I would vote out the entire boad of directors on general principle.”
I agree 100%! Time to take down both JC Penny’s and General Mills!
Has nothing to do with Ellen or gays. It’s all about their foolish decision to stop having sales. Customers like and shop at sales.
P.S.: Hell will feeze over before I buy one more ounce of Ben and Jerrys too! Breyers is just fine and every other good Ice Cream as well! Screw Ben and Jerrys! I’d rather buy 10 gallons of Bugeyes Piglousy Crappo Ice Bullcrap! than an ounce of B&J’s!
And most of those labels can be had for less elsewhere, as I said before. As you say, why would one pay more for the exact same thing?
Show me any name-brand item at JCP and I can show you the exact same thing available online or at another brick and mortar store for less.
Nice Excuse! Do You write for Obama’s teleprompters?
You don’t want to cancel your JCP credit card. It will affect your credit rating. Just put it away. See:http://financialhighway.com/before-you-cancel-credit-card/
Make that fairy fest. A ferry fest might be entertaining.
"There's a sale at Penney's!"

Look at the Damn charts! Do you have any business experience? Pennys had risen to $45 a share with their new CEO, before he went Gay! Darn, do You know how to read a stock chart, have You ever invested a dollar in the stock market? Plain Stupid!
Anyone know about Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf?
At least our local one has been known to contribute to conservative causes, and has also offered ‘writing to the troops’ opportunities, along with this particular store sending coffee to Afghanistan.
Correlation is not causation.
I routinely drive much further in my gas-guzzling 5.8L 1994 SUV to pay more for something I could have purchased in a closer establishment that decided to back a cause I detest. Always have and always will.
Why is Target stock acting differently? They have really hopped on the homo bandwagon.
F15, can you post their chart? (TGT)
This is it exactly. Look at JCP's footprint -- far more God's Country than gay country...
So incompetent leadership isn’t what has sunk JC Penney’s? Because most companies will looking at the stock dropping by 50% in less than a year as indicative to the leadership failure’s at the very stop.
