Target Department Stores vs. The Salvation Army
The following email sent to Target personnel concerns Target’s latest decision not to allow the Salvation Army access to their stores - more information on Target turning the kettle black is at Hugh Hewitt's Blog:
Dear Sir:
I am disappointed in Target’s decision not to allow the Salvation Army to solicit donations at their stores this holiday season.
Our family made a decision last night that we would boycott Target not just for the Holiday Season but also for as long as this policy of refusal remains in affect. Our family made this decision in a conference call last night to the families of my four brothers and sisters and my two children. The extended family includes eight nieces and nephews and eleven grandnieces and grandnephews - also each family consists of many friends and acquaintances.
Have a happy but non-profitable season,
Ed Hart

I was sorry when I heard Target is more attatched to SCROOGE than to Chhristmas.

As a Vietnam combat vet, I know the Salvation Army to be "the First with the Most", regarding war, insurections, or disasters. They were in the boonies with the grunts with ice (where in God's name they got ice in Vietnam, is known only to them!!) and kool-aid. The Red Cross was back in the 'Safe Areas' playing cards with the officers.
You may be politically correct in not allowing the Salvation Army to ring their bells and man their kettles this Christmas, but someday I hope you are embarrassed to the point of public disdain by your petty policy....
