built their brand with the dollars of deceived progressives. No more.
Whole Foods' anti-union, anti-health reform, right-wing activities do
not deserve our support.
John Mackey, CEO and co-founder of Whole Foods wrote an op-ed in the
Wall Street Journal on 8/12/2009 quoting Margaret Thatcher and
suggesting that healthcare is a commodity that only the rich, like him,
deserve. (see below) He's contributed money made from us to Tom DeLay's
campaigns and legal defense fund.

This boycott is gaining strength. Vote with your wallet! We have choices
NOT CEOed by an anti-healthcare right wing fanatic. Most places have
co-ops. Support farmers' markets. My Organic Market is 100% wind powered
and has great offerings. We have a moral obligation not to support right
wing businesses. Whole Foods has the right to be as hateful and selfish
as they wanna be. We also have the right to starve them of our
hard-earned money.
