And now from the AFA... ahem Action Alert... RE the GAY

PepsiCo sponsors national gay workshop

Print the new Boycott PepsiCo Pledge and distribute, including giving a copy to the manager of the grocery store where you shop.

July 14, 2009

Dear nadin,

PepsiCo has given thousands of dollars to become a sponsor of the homosexual "Out & Equal Workplace Summit" scheduled for Oct. 6-9 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Florida.

The Out & Equal Workshop meetings are designed to show corporate leaders how they can promote the homosexual agenda in their corporation.

In becoming a sponsor of the Out & Equal conference PepsiCo has once again refused to give any support to those who are hurting and want to come out of this destructive and aberrant lifestyle.

In fact, homosexual activists continually tell corporate leaders (including PepsiCo) that it is impossible for an individual to leave the gay lifestyle. By helping fund the meeting, PepsiCo has decided to support that premise. PepsiCo gives thousands of dollars to promote homosexuality, but not one penny to help those who want out.

The organizers of the workshop say they are inviting "Political leaders and activists interested in understanding the impact of the equality movement in the workplace."

Take Action!
• Sign the Boycott PepsiCo Pledge. After signing the pledge, please call Pepsi (914-253-2000 or 1-800-433-2652) and tell the company you will boycott its products until it stops promoting the homosexual agenda. If you will stay on the line, a live representative will take your call.
• Call the PepsiCo bottler nearest you and ask it to use its influence in stopping the company's support for the homosexual agenda.
• Pepsi's products include Pepsi soft drinks, Frito-Lay chips and snacks (800-352-4477), Quaker Oats (800-367-6287), Tropicana (800-237-7799) and Gatorade (800-884-2867).
• Print the new Boycott PepsiCo Pledgeand distribute, including giving a copy to the manager of the grocery store where you shop.
• Forward this e-mail to your friends and family so they will know about PepsiCo's support of the homosexual agenda. Millions of people are not aware of Pepsi's support of homosexual organizations.







Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible contribution to help us continue?


Sincerely,



Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman
American Family Association Donate with confidence to AFA

Please take a few minutes and invite your friends to AFA ActionAlert.

Yes there are days I wonder, why do I subscribe to them? For the same reason I at times read Freeperland... no, not for the fun and games...

Realize I will be taking ahem action, by letting Pepsico KNOW I enjoy their product and gosh darn it, will support them with my dollars for taking such a brave stand. AFA thanks for the idea

:evilgrin:

1. I like Pepsi over Coke anyway
Coke gives me heartburn.


And Diet Pepsi tastes better than Diet Coke. I'll only buy Diet Coke if it's significantly cheaper than Pepsi.

2. Coke is the drink of the South.
Coke with a small c means "soda" or "pop".

"You want a coke?"
"What kind of coke you want?"

14. Co-cola if you want Coke
Subtle inflections matter. One of my daughter's friends asked her just last week what C-ment was, because we don't say cement like folks around here.
:rofl:

3. I'd like to piss these bastards off and buy some Pepsi
But they didn't keep making the Pepsi & Mt. Dew "Throwback", and I won't drink High Fructose Corn Poison.

Bring back the good stuff again, and I'll drink it.

I do have some Quaker granola though, so I guess that helps.

oh and here is my LTTE

Dear Sirs,

I commend you for being participants in the Out & Equal Workplace Summit. I love progressive companies that do this, and I realize the AFA is currently in the process of holding a boycott. Well, I intend to vote with my dollars, and support your product lines.

Sincerely,

*****

9. I know some folks round here are special
but this is straight from the AFA... I usually don't bother readying the emails, but when they say boycott, my eyes perk up... I'd say ears, but it is a visual medium.

17. So, what they're saying is that Pepsi indirectly makes or keeps people gay?
I'll take a couple cases.

21. Then maybe Diet Pepsi, or Pepsi One, or Lemon Freshened Pepsi....
Or cut the Pepsi with some Rum, or even with an imported beer?
