Boycott of Miller Brewing Company
Almost two weeks ago, I posted about Miller Brewing Company donating more than $30,000 to help fund a march/demonstration of illegal aliens and their advocates. Since then, the blogosphere has been rife with outrage that Miller Brewing Company would actually support the illegal alien movement in this country.
In response to Miller's actions, a new website, MillerBoycott.com, has been created. The folks running this website are "fed up with corporations aiding and abetting illegal aliens" and hope to put some pain in Miller's pocketbook by creating a nationwide boycott of Miller and SAB products (SAB Miller plc is the parent corporation of Miller Brewing Company). I personally support their efforts, and were I a beer drinker, I'd certainly boycott all of the Miller/SAB products listed below.

If you drink any of the above beverages and are upset with Miller Brewing for pandering to illegal aliens, I encourage you to find an alternate brew to enjoy. Then, please visit the Miller Boycott website and view their short list of ways you can participate in the nationwide boycott. MillerBoycott.com has also started a petition called the Illegal Immigration Boycott Petition for folks to sign indicating their desire that "... all companies and corporations operating within the territory of the USA cease and desist any financial or political support for illegal aliens, groups, organizations, candidates, and activists that support illegal immigration and illegal aliens." I've already signed the petition. You'll need to scroll to the bottom of the main web page to find the signature form.
Should you wish to express your opinions to Miller Brewing Company in writing, you can also send them an email from the Miller Brewing Feedback page. (Thanks go out to Michelle Malkin for providing the link.)

Posted by: Bruce on September 14, 2006 08:48 AMWhat's the story behind CITGO? Have they done something outrageous, too?

Posted by: the Pirate on September 14, 2006 02:29 PMYOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF: YOU HAVE A STRONG OPINION AND CANT SPELL:
Well in my opion why should we have to change anything just because there are 1 or 2 kids in the choir that do not celebrate CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry but I was born and raised saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS" I beleive in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Hollaween, Thanksgiving and any other GOD given day he has given us.
If we change it for one place then it should be changed for all, if we leave it as it is those who chose not to paritcate do not have to come and celebrate CHRISTMAS with us. They chose not come anyway because it is CHRISTMAS and they don't beleive in it nor dor they celebrate it.
To me this is a sign of disrespect to any and all Christians, Bapitists, Chalolic and any other GOD believeing relogins out there that celebrate these timesof rejoicement. I have to change what I say and do because someone may become offended. WELL GUESS WHAT PEOPLE I AM NOW OFFENDED THAT I HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN DOING AND BELIEVING IN FOR 40 YEARS NOW.
SORRY MY VOTE IS .......................................................................................................................
CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK
YES I STILL LOVE SANTA, THE EASTER BUNNY, ALL STAINTS EVE, AND JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF OUR CREATOR, OUR GOD.
While I appreciate your comments, Kala, and agree that we should not have to change our religion just because some people might not participate or might be "offended" by it, I'm not sure what that has to do with Miller Beer's financing of illegal alien protests.
Either way, thank you for visiting and leaving a comment.
