Email link to American Girls and my letter:

http://www.americangirl.com/emailus/index.html

Dear American Girl:
I appreciate your support for Girls, Inc. and their belief in the availability of contraception, education and the right to choose for women. I will have you know that I will be purchasing all of my nieces American Girl outfits this Christmas in support of your stance.
Regards,

1. uh - oh

I know lots of fundies whose daughters are really into "American Girl".......... I see trouble ahead. Yay! :)

2. Thank you for the letter.

It's good to know that some corporations are taking a stand for what's right.

3. Their dolls are cool, but very expensive

Even if I had money, I wouldn't waste the money on one for any child under 5. It wouldn't hold up to a preschooler's abuse. Target has some similar dolls for about $25.

I do think it's good that the company is sponsoring an initiative like this.

Who don't the freepers boycott these days? Between all french products, most movies, Disney, Mattel, Ben & Jerry's, etc., who is left? Exxon/Mobil and FOX News?

My boycott is simple. I boycott Domino's Pizza. Otherwise, I really don't care if what causes a company supports unless it is particularly odious, or it is engaging in some type of really bad behavior (Nestle is a good example). But my boycott of Domino's is not just because Monaghan gives money to causes I don't like-their pizza sucks, and he fired Ernie Harwell as the Tiger's announcer when he owned the team. For that alone, he is going to hell.

6. You can always get them slightly used

on ebay - and the accessories are there too!

13. Cool.. .thanks for the info

My daughter got a bitty baby from her grandmother, and now loves it when the catalog comes in the mail (this one... oh, and this one... and this one... )

This helps alot!

15. Check craft fairs for doll clothes too

the local craft fairs here always have a couple ladies who make "American Girl Sized" doll clothes. Very good prices, too.

16. Slightly used Dominoes Pizza?

Ewwww.

9. I don't think the dolls are intended for preschoolers.

In fact, I'll bet some full grown women buy them for themselves. (I've been tempted.)

Do look into gently used dolls, though.

About the boycott: The dolls are multicultural. Could that be another reason the idiots hate them.

14. Similar, I only boycott Wal Mart

And I guess I boycott Fox except for sports

[RamblingRose]

4. Thank you for posting. My fundie neighbor brags about having 6 dolls

and all of their accessories. I know what I'm getting her daughter for Christmas!!!!

[adigal]

7. Make sure you let her know about this!

I would go over and say, "I'm shocked, such a good, wholesome company, in cahoots with a Jesus-hating' baby abortin' group like Girls Inc. I am going to BURN my dolls!!!"""



Hahahahaha!! Watch her head spin!

[Bridget Burke]

10. Or perhaps Ramblin Rose could offer....

To take the offending dolls off her nieghbor's hands.

5. This is great!!

These dolls are very popular. I'm glad American Girl is doing this.

[Pirate Smile]

8. Thanks for the information. I just ordered a book for my daughter's

birthday.

11. Buy the lil star band

It only costs a dollar and the proceeds go to Girls Inc.

Utterly vile. The baby-eating ghouls are after America's children.

I'm not sure they will wake up. From just a preliminary search, it looks like the support for Girls Inc started about the same time as some partnership they made with Clear Channel.

Clear Channel has been involved with a number of lefty scam systems. Especially commercial money laundering with advertising. So I think they got into bed with snakes.

>Clear Channel -LEFTY??!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! :rofl::rofl: <

These companies think there is more money in supporting abortionists, perverts and atheists than Chrisitians. It is good to boycott this crap because that is the only message they know and it how the libs have taken over most of these companies today. The diversity mantra is a lib/communist program used to divide us and keep us suspicious about each other and generate hate.
