Eat Mor Chikin! - BuyCott Chick-fil-A next week
During the week of April 25-30, eat at Chick-fil-A and hand them a card of Thanks!
April 21, 2011
Dear Howard,
A few weeks ago, AFA alerted you to an attack by homosexual activists against the Christian-owned Chick-fil-A company.
In February, a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Pennsylvania donated some sandwiches and brownies to a marriage seminar hosted by the Pennsylvania Family Institute. Because the seminar promoted marriage as between one man and one woman, pro-homosexual activists launched an all-out attack on Chick-fil-A.
Some started calling the company's main product "Jesus Chicken," while others mocked and belittled the company's "Not Open on Sunday" policy. They even smeared company employees, calling them "anti-gay."
Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy built a 1500-restaurant chain on his "personal and business philosophy based on biblical principles." Something else you may not know:
* Chick-fil-A plays Christian music in its restaurants...exclusively.
* Chick-fil-A closes all its locations on Sunday...no exceptions.
* Chick-fil-A's stated corporate purpose is: 1) To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us; and 2) To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.
AFA is encouraging you to "BUYCOTT" a Chick-fil-A restaurant during the week of April 25-30.
When you pay for your meal, take a moment to thank them for standing on Christian principles by printing and handing them the Chick-fil-A "Thank You!" card (Print an entire sheet of cards for family and friends here).
Take Action Now
Watch this short video by AFA President Tim Wildmon, then print your "BUYCOTT Chick-fil-A" thank you card!
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members. If you don't have a Chick-fil-A in your area and would still like to thank them, you send an email note through our online email campaign.
Sincerely,
Tim
Tim Wildmon, President

1|1|Boycott Chic-fil-a because they gave sandwiches to a Marriage/Family seminar in ONE state?|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|15:23:12|04/26/2011|
I don't think so..................... Amazon.com sold e-books about child pornography/petaphila and people still buy from them. (not me however, and I NEVER will again as this happened on more than one occasion)
Chic-fil-a may very well be a "Christian based" restaurant and the owner(S) may or may not frown upon homosexuality but I know for a FACT that our Chic-fil-a's, here in Jax, have homosexuals WORKING for them so I will NOT be boycotting them. Now, if I lived in the very county where this took place, maybe........ but only after getting a LOT more information. JMHO
