Bernardine writes to the StarTribune about why she is choosing to protest General Mills:
"Recently, I was one of the many protesters outside the General Mills corporate offices and spoke to the company's vice president of communications. I asked why a company like his would ever come out with a statement against the marriage amendment. His response was that the issue had been thought about for some time. My view is that when the media asked the company to state its position on this issue quite often, then monthly, then weekly, the company succumbed to the pressure and made this uninformed statement.
... So many people in this democracy believe in the strong foundation of a marriage between a man and a woman; it is incomprehensible that a large company that markets many of its products to children would choose this position.
A company should be interested in a good product and sales. It can make all the cereals and products it wants, but if there are no buyers, it will fail. General Mills, please choose mother, father, children in the future."

Kudos to Ms. Fox for her letter!
As reported in Minneapolis: "A huge protest dubbed “dumping General Mills” has been happening outside the company’s’ headquarters in Minnesota. And by huge I mean 3 dozen people, over half of them too young to vote. This gathering of irate citizens is named Minnesota for Marriage"
I think Rev. Phelps and his GOD HATES FAGS protests can muster up more demonstrators.
I hope none of you use Microsoft products!
or GOOGLE:
Google launched a new campaign on Saturday supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights around the world.
Kudos to Ms. Fox for her letter!
Amen to that Barb as once again we the people understand the public purpose of marriage. I saw a great bumper sticker today, it said " If the people will lead the leaders will follow."
The generic cereals are cheaper and you not supporting the gay agenda.
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
General Mills (GIS) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended May 27, 2012.
Fiscal 2012 Results Summary
Net sales grew 12 percent to $16.7 billion
I think I can pretty easily support General Mills' decision using NEARLY the protester's own words.
"So many people in this democracy believe in the strong foundation of a marriage between two committed adults; it is comprehensible that a large company that markets many of its products to children would choose this position."
What's your point Shane, the GenMills announcement came up in late June so company results ending 5/27/12 would not be affected. OH..... maybe you are trying to give us a starting point so we can track their decline. OK!
Hahahaha! Great point, Leehawks!
You've reinforced my belief that marriage supporters must cross-check *every* word of Shane/John.
I actually adopted that belief after his ridiculous posts on Mark Regnerus's study.
By the way, Shane/John's proposed boycott of the NOM blog isn't going too well...obviously
