Dear Marriage Supporter,
Since we launched DumpGeneralMills.com less than two days ago, over 10,000 people have signed our petition!
And we need you to join us!
Please take 30 seconds right now and sign our petition on DumpGeneralMills.com!
General Mills has lost 10,000 customers in less than two days. If we keep this up, somebody intelligent will look at the numbers and realize that endorsing same-sex marriage legislation, entering the Culture War and affronting the values and beliefs of millions of your customers is just bad business.
We MUST keep the pressure on General Mills, Starbucks and the rest of Corporate America. The MUST get the message that it's not OK to flout the core values and beliefs of millions of Americans by siding with social activists who want to redefine marriage for everyone.
So, please go to DumpGeneralMills.com right away and sign our petition!
Thank you in advance for taking action to defend marriage by signing our petition!

Really? You think that one of the largest food manufacturers in the world did not take the time to calculate whether their bottom line would be effected? They didn't look at polling and customer surveys? They just made this decision completely ignorant of the consequences?
Well, maybe they were hoping someone like me, who religiously buys Kashi, might buy a box of Fiber One every now and then. If so, success!
Thank you General Mills for standing for what is right under the golden rule!
What kind of computer do you all use? Better check into that. All the big companies are pro-equality.
Don't let them get away with treating people like human beings!
you gays can come on here and laugh at us thats fine. If all Christians stop buying general mills and starbucks products. in bad times like these it will make an impact especially if stick to it for the long run.
Boycotts almost never bankrupt the company who they are against. In Montgomery Alabama the idea was not to put the city bus company out of buisness.
They promote asprie de core amounghst the boycoters and put the company on notice that there views have an impact on there corporate image.
Like those tech companies that are "all for equality" it is often enough just to keep them from voicing and publicly supporting same-sex "marriage" rather than actually changing there corproate mission statement on the subject or becoming pro-marriage.
Thing is, not all Christians agree with NOM there, buddy.

Well then they couldn't really call themselves Christian now then could they? Not very Christ like to go against Christ.
I printed out a list of General Mills brands and posted it next to my grocery list so I can easily show greater loyalty to their (many) brands... (Is it just me, or was it a surprise to find out they make far more than just cereals?!?)
A nice thing about this is that I found out about Gen. Mills' support of marriage equality via Brian Brown in the first place. Thank you NOM - my new gay civil rights activism support service!
Starbucks is one brand, one product. The DumpStarbucks campaign is a failure. General Mills is many brands, many many products.
Don't NOM get it? The target is too diffuse, too spread out, too hard to r,ember who makes what. 10000 or 100000 signers is irrelevant. It won,t translate to those people stopping buying for good and it won,t dent $14billion sales worldwide.
When will NOM supporters start to question NOM strategies and value for money?
RC - You go girl....you show marriage who's boss!
As stated before on other blogs but worth repeating:
To all you SSM supporters, there is a significant contrast when companies offer benefits to SSU employees (or supporting those unions as other trivial SSU sponsorship), and those companies funding the opposition to destroy the definition marriage. We will pick and choose our battles carefully... Real marriage IS true equality, and not used to hide the term " legalized homosexuality". so-call Gay equality does this!
ALL WE NEED IS FOR A FEW OF THOSE SPONSORS TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS THEIR CONTINUE SUPPORT FOR SSM OR CHANGE THEIR COURSE TO NEUTRAL, THE REST WILL FOLLOW SUIT OR EVOLVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.
Just signed the petition. God bless and keep you Brian Brown for continuing the fight, staying faithful to what is true and Holy. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by those on this blog. There are still Christians willing to stand with you - even here in Sin City.
In Christ
Wow, not only do the nommers have to boycott all of GM's products, including Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Green Giant , all the cereals (to name just a few), they now have to boycott all of Kraft Foods brands because they have come out in support of equality. Now nommers have to boycott Nabosco, Oreo, Ritz, Triscuits, A-1, Grapenuts, Miracle Whip and Kool Aid as well as all the other brands. Nommers, please go to their websites and print out all the brand names for both companies so you make certain to boycott them all. Please don't miss any. Isn't it shameful that you hold it against companies because they want to create a positive and supportive environment in their company?
Brad, there is nothng positive able homosexuality defind as equality to avoid calling it by its true name. Also please list all of the companies you are aware of that participates in the support of SSM to the distruction of tradiional marriage, companies we can validate support to redefining marriage, thanks!
,,,about..
Pfft "sanctity" of "traditional marriage." Until every single one of you NOM members has not only never had intercourse before marriage, nor had a divorce, then please don't preach about values of sanctity and traditional marriage. Frankly, if I want to marry anyone, man or woman, I should be able to. Just by my name, you don't know if I'm a guy or a girl, so you don't know whether any marriage of mine would be "traditional and straight" or "unnatural and gay."
The fact that you all make such a deal over this really speaks more about your own lives than it does those you consider "immoral." If you want to spend your lives obsessing over the fact that some people marry others of the same gender, fine. But please, don't try to infringe upon my rights. If all you're doing with your life is working to try and prevent others from living theirs how they want, then you really have a sad life indeed.
Have fun having nothing to eat while boycotting all the companies that support equality.
I think it'll just make me go out and buy their products even more. Heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, transsexual, pansexual, asexual, whatever. It doesn't matter. Y'all need to understand this.
Leo, these companies are working to create an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect; gay, lesbian, straight, black, white, asian, christian, muslim, etc. You state that allowing gays & lesbians leads to the destruction of traditional marriage. I disagree. I believe it leads to the enhancement of traditional marriage as it emphasizes the importance of making a public, life-long commitment to you spouse. Can you give me one tangible reason that supports your claim that it leads to the destruction of marriage? As far as the companies that openly support equality, I can only name a few off the top of my head, in addition to the GM and Kraft families I mentioned above--Apple, Microsoft, Boeing, Nike, Starbucks, Bank of America, Target, JCPenney, The Gap. I could do my research and come up with many more but I don't want to boycott them so I'm not going to take the time. I would challenge you to do the research as it is you that wants the boycott. I would also challenge you to hold to your boycott of ALL the LGBT supportive companies as I feel it is extremely hypocritical to pick and choose by giving up Starbucks coffee and Wheaties but continue to use your iPhone and your Windows to open up a Word doc. Be blessed.
Brad,
These companies are working to create environments that have a zero tolerance for people of faith, the 1st Amendment, or this nation’s founding principles. Changing the meaning of the word marriage destroys its link to this nation’s history and traditions; the laws of nature and natures God.
The companies you worship are transitory; with most having only come into existence within the last thirty years.
Or to quote my Business Management Professor:
"All businesses are designed to fail; no business is created to last forever."
As these companies that support your depravity step into the light we will do that which our conscience dictates; you do them no favors using them as your poster child.
Brad: Home Depot, Google, AT&T, American Express, Best Buy, Capital One, Dell, Ford, HP, IBM, Intel, Levi Strauss, Metlife, Miller Brewing, Motorala, Nationwide, Pepsi, SC Johnson, Xerox are a few more. In fact, the HRC index placed 13 companies with a perfect score in 2002. In 2011, the number jumped to 195.
If NOM wants to boycott all companies that affirm full civil equality for LGBT citizens, NOM might as well stop using computers, cancel this blog, give up their cell phones and, soon enough, boycott the US Dollar once DOMA is repealed and all states recognize marriage equality for gay couples.
It's valiant that NOM would take a stance against companies for taking a position on political issues. What is aggrivating the left's blatant hypocrisy. They're completely uncomfortable with CEO's donating huge gobs of money to political campaigns but they get wonderous thrills up their legs when they take a position that is inline with their agenda.
So you know what? Fine, let these companies do as they wish. The sun will rise and set and life goes on. Because in the end, the billions of dollars at their disposal won't stop the good people of Minnesota for doing what's right and that's passing the Marriage Protection Amendment.

Hypocrisy is considered to be a virtue to the socialists; all biblical sin, for that matter, is considered to be a virtue by these miscreants. Fortunately for us the founding fathers had the foresight to declare faith based religion to be an immutable characteristic under the U.S. Constitution.
They must have seen these heathen coming.
Boycott every single airline in America, NOMmers, because they were among the first to offer benefits to gay employees. Check out HRC's index for more info. I worked at a company with a perfect score for 8 years.
Mitt will investigate these attacks on religious liberty come January. The creators truth always wins in the end.
"You think that one of the largest food manufacturers in the world did not take the time to calculate whether their bottom line would be effected? They didn't look at polling and customer surveys? They just made this decision completely ignorant of the consequences?"
It is possible General Mills failed to calculate the effect on their sales in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia if they become recognized there as a company active in promoting the redefinition of marriage. If I were a Middle Eastern competitor of General Mills, I would take note. Of course, if word never gets out either in the U.S. or other parts of the world, General Mills calculated correctly.
Cheerios has been a favorite of mine since childhood. But I'll be d***ed if I'll buy another box again!
Your comment contains a categorical mistake.
Black, white, & asian are physical traits but gay and lesbian refer to maladaptive behavioral traits.
You get the same categorical mistake if you had said, " these companies want black, whites, asians and sexually immoral people treated equally."
You switched issues.
Its not about boycotting employee benefits.
Its about boycotting a company that endorses queer sex marriage.
Also, we need not boycott all companies that endorse queer sex marriage.
We only need to boycott one leading company until it changes policy.
We can let the momentum of that influence the board rooms of other companies.
Your post basically reduces to this claim, "Since some people are sexually immoral, a loving society will treat sexual immorality as an honorable thing under the golden rule."
Such a claim reduces to absurdity, though, because honoring sexual immorality at law would naturally bias the youth of society towards sexual immorality, and the harms that attend it, on a much larger scale than would otherwise occur.
Is it "the golden rule" to increase social ills within a society by corrupting the morals of children early?
A company actually perverts the golden rule, therefore, that endorses sexual immorality.
