Democratic Party leaders are under personal and collective smear attack by American Greetings Corp. - - a supposedly wholesome, tradtional company providing good cheer for generations.
We can't let their sleazy, unfair, sick and stupid attack stand.
Please read on - - AND TAKE ACTION TODAY!
(Happy Valentine's Day in the meantime!)
In the story posted at rawstory here
and cross posted at huffingtonpost, Blue Mountain, a direct subsidiary of one of the big greeting card companies, American Greetings Corp., has created a brazenly slanderous anti-Democratic e-greeting card.
hideous e-greeting here
In cartoon fashioin, it shows Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and others engaging in S&M and other sexual practics, along with a jingle about how it's "Family Values Out the Window" at the Democratic Party.
Here's the email I have sent to this address: investor.relations@amgreetings.com
Dear Sir or Madam,
I write to inform you that, in light of your subsidiary company Blue Mountain's tremendously offensive and denigrating portrayal of some of the Democratic Party leaders in Congress in the e-greeting card "Love Democratic Style," I hereby commit myself to informing all friends, neighbors, family members, work colleagues and others of the dangerously low standards of taste, decency, fairness and common business sense that are apparently maintained by American Greetings Corporation.
I will do everything in my power as a private citizen to encourage a boycott of your products and those of your subsidiaries. I will encourage everyone I know or meet to disinvest from, counterinvest in, and otherwise discourage doing business with American Greetings Corporation.
Sincerely,
Please get up and write one extra Valentine today, people!
