As a born Texan by the grace of god, it is come to my attention that the Dixie Chicks have issued a Bill Clinton like apology tonight refusing to address the lead singers commments of her being 'ashamed' th have Dubya as her President.

Perhaps a tea party avoiding Lipton products (the sponsor of their tour will get their attention.

If you will write a letter to the owners of Lipton Tea paul.wood@unilever.com and nancy.goldfarb@unilever.com

We should save all these lefties CD's and DVD's and have a good ol fashioned skeet party!

Sent a letter to all three that I was boycotting as long as Lipton sponsored these Dixie Chicks

[pooh fan]

Pull!!!!

Remember the "Disco Record Burnings" in stadiums around the country in the 80s?? Let's gather up all the CD's from our favorite leftie and burn those using Lipton tea bags as kindling.

Here's mine:

I understand that one of your subsidiaries, Lipton, sponsors the Dixie Chicks.

I want you to know how distressed my family and I were to hear the terrible comments made by them while playing a concert in the UK recently. They apparently think so little of our President that they will criticize him publicly, saying they are "ashamed" of him.

I want you to know that my family and I are NOT ashamed of our President. In fact, we are proud of him and stand foursquare behind him as he attempts to execute his solemn duty under the Constitution, to defend our land.

I am, rather, embarrassed and ashamed of the Dixie Chicks. I do not think there was any reason for them to make these statements publicly, no matter what their private opinions might be.

Although they have a right to them, my family and I also have the right to disassociate ourselves from them, from any of their products, and from the products of their sponsors.

Therefore, we will for the indeterminate future NOT be buying any products from Lipton, including beverages, soft drinks, or anything else that Lipton produces. We will also attempt to make sure we don't buy anything from Unilever.

This might be a small thing to you but to us it is quite serious. We are Texans as well as they, and mortified at their terribly disrespectful comments as our nation hovers on the brink of war.

Thank you for your attention to our complaint.

Sincerely,

Well I'm happy to see your all organizing better to form affective protest stratagies.
