That's an excellent suggestion. If Auto Zone is run by something other than Capuchin monkeys, they'll jump on it! Here's my e mail to Pep Boys:

Uh, guys....I'm not going to pretend that the firing of a naval reservist from his Pep Boys job is going to make me boycott Pep Boys. I CAN'T boycott you ; your nearest store is a five hour drive away! But I wanted to say three things :

1. The internet has created a huge online conservative/patriot family of sites. And they're ALL talking about the firing. Free Republic alone has 100,000+ registered posters, and who knows how many lurkers.

2.The backlash against Pep Boys-in areas where there actually ARE Pep Boys-is apt to be huge.

3. This makes your company look like it's run by incredibly stupid and ignorant people. Guys, my DOGS know you CAN'T fire people who are reservists , if they miss work because of that status.It's a federal law. How in the name of God does a modern compnay wind up with managers so dirt-ignorant that they think they can fire someone for a reason like that? And the pathetic attempts of the AZ store people to pretend that wasn't the reason...Give me a break. Pep Boys would be wise just to cut Mr. Balodis a check with a lot of zeroes in it right now, because if this case goes to trial, even Lionel Hutz will eat you alive!

Here's my email to the PEP BOYS web site:

I hear that you fired a Navy reservist because he was called up. I am in the NC Air Guard, and because I am a reservist, I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from your stores again. I will tell EVERYONE I know NOT to buy anything from your stores, and to SELL your stock if they own any. How about if you learn some patriotism, losers!
