Boycott Target!

I received this from my ex today. Time to tell those French snobs the low down. Take back your "gift" of the statue of Liberty, why? because the only "Liberty" you people relate to is a BOTTLE OF CHEAP PERFUME! Read on... Something to think about .... Especially with the Christmas shopping season approaching! Wasn't it last Christmas that Target refused to let the Salvation Army ring their bells in front of their stores? Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association wrote. 'Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our spring recognition event. We received the following reply from the local TARGET management: 'Veterans do not meet our area of giving.We only donate to the arts, social action groups, gay & lesbian causes, and education. (WOW!) <---my emphasis.. So I'm thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and veterans in general,do not meet their donation criteria, then something is really wrong at this TARGET store. We were not asking for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, just a small sponsorship for a memorial remembrance.. As a follow-up, I emailed the TARGET U.S. Corporate Headquarters and their response was the same. That's their National Policy! Then I looked into the company further.They will not allow the Marines to collect for 'Toys for Tots' at any of their stores. And during a recent Iraq deployment, they would not allow families of employees who were called up for active duty to continue their insurance coverage while they were on military service.. Then as I dig further. TARGET is a French-owned corporation. Now,I'm thinking again ... If TARGET cannot support American Veterans, then why should My family and I support their stores by spending our hard earned American dollars! And, have their profits sent to France Without the American Vets, where would France be today? 'They, most likely would be speaking German and trading in Deutsch Marks' Sincerely, Dick Forrey Veterans Helping Veterans Please send this on to everyone you know to let Target know we don't need them either! Boycott Target if you are a true AMERICAN! I am fed up with our weak polititions bowing down to this so called "glogal economy. Hell, it's gobal rape of our country and it's time to make a stand and "Target" these corporate scum. Cheers.
