Our thanks to Charlie Butts and OneNewsNow for their coverage of our Dump General Mills campaign -- now with well over 20,000 signatures!
The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) has formally launched a boycott of General Mills for its opposition to Minnesota's Marriage Protection Amendment.
Voters in The North Star State will have a chance in November to vote on a proposed constitutional amendment that would bar anything other than traditional marriage. Jonathan Baker, a spokesman for NOM, explains why the boycott of General Mills has become necessary.
... "We started DumpGeneralMills.com, working on the website," Baker details. "It is live now, and it gives folks a chance to come together with other like-minded individuals and tell General Mills that we don't appreciate their stance."
The website also provides a list of all of the products General Mills puts on the market. NOM hopes to help shoppers decide whether they will continue to purchase them.

I think its hypocritical to limit it to just GM and Starbucks. Dump the Methodist church. Dump Microsoft. Dump google. Dump Boeing. Dump Nike. Dump Spain. Dump Canada. Dump Argentina. Dump France. Etc, etc, etc. dump everything that tries to bring dignity and respect to gays and lesbians.
Going strong, sure but steady as we get the message out the importance of marriage. Who knows even a small group of people may sway some of these large companies with us.
@Brad...bringing dignity & respect to humanity is standing opposed to perversion including Homosexuality, Pedophillia, Beastility, Porn, Prostituion, etc. General Mills dump 'seems' to be another way one can influence or at least not support companies (esp those many 'families' support) that promote evil. Their is nor will never be any dignity & respect to sin of homosexuality...but I love & care for the individual in those sins, as in all sins. The solution is the same for all...repent (forsaking your way for God's way) & believe (key to do so & nessessary to be empowered to live righteously the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pretending that this is not hurting God & that His wrath does not abide on unbelievers is not love. May God bless.
Boycott, discriminate . . . . man you guys are pretty evil. All this to stop some total strangers from making a life together. I think a lot more than 20,000 people are boycotting NOM just on principle.
Keep it up . . . pretty soon you will just hate everybody.

"man you guys are pretty evil. All this to stop some total strangers from making a life together."
No such attempts are being made. And nothing that is being done by this organization even comes close to being classified as "evil".
"pretty soon you will just hate everybody."
No hatred at all. I know it's hard to understand, but trust me, there is no hatred to be had.
No such thing as same sex marriage
Lynne, perhaps you're not aware, but one of the great freedoms of this country is that not everyone is forced to abide by any particular religious sect's sacred laws. "Sharia" is a buzzword because most Americans don't like the idea of being forced to abide by religion's doctrine that isn't their own. Maybe you can sympathize.
