I just got off the telephone with Coca Cola in Waco
to see if they would furnish water to the Gold Star families.
The guy sounded like they might do it..but did say it was kind of iffy sometimes when there was politics attached. He said he was going to talk to his supervisor now.
I reminded him that they did give 38% to the Democratic Party (when I really wanted to remind him that they gave 62% to pubs, but can't get anything that way,lol).
Anyway--am waiting on an answer. Will keep you all updated.

2. Remind him of the free product placement with lots of TV cameras
that ought to do it...you must learn to appeal to the corporate conscience (which is only $$$ in most cases)

3. Wow, that would be really great publicity for CocaCola since their
stuff is sold all over the world and most of the world hates Bush.

7. Maybe you should mention 'free advertising' for the grassroots
After all, we are a force;-)
We too decide what products to buy, or not buy.
Where to shop.


Great idea btw

9. If there's a CostCo in/near WACO
Call and see if they would furnish drinks. I'd bet they would.

11. Excellent! Tell Coke, They Support Her And I'll Support Them!
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 02:48 PM by DistressedAmerican
When you talk to them, let them I will gladly buy some Coke products to support such an action on their part!

Many other as well!
