Gacked from slodwick ...

If you, reading this, are so inclined to make one phone call, you will nullify a phone call from an anti-gay nutjob. Oh, excuse me, an anti-gay crusader. Kraft Foods is a major sponsor of the 2006 Gay Games. The nutjobs/crusaders have targeted them and are flooding their phone bank. Want to do something about that? Here's their phone # 1-800-323-0768. Toll free. It only takes a couple of minutes to call them and voice your support for their sponsorship. One call to nullify. Please pass the word to your friends, email addy book, relatives, whomever.

Latest word this morning is that the Kraft phone folks are initially wary when told the call is about their sponsorship, then immensely relieved upon hearing the support, and are still asking people to spread the word because the nutjobs are winning. This entire thing is ridiculous on some level, but it's what we're all reduced to.

I just did it. The girl sounded a little relieved to me, too.

Just a lurker, but I called as well. Didn't leave my name or address, but I simply said that I wanted to voice an anonymous compliment to Kraft for taking the road less traveled.

And you bet I'm buying Kraft products.

I called, too, and I could actually hear the poor woman steel herself to be blasted. God, what a day she's having!

I called... the guy seemed surprised... but thanked me and said he'd let the marketing department know.

I also posted in my journal.

Thanks for passing this along!

I love your icon.

Cameron needs to slip House some serious tongue.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

hell yeah!

I don't make icons - I snag them from all over the place (all credited).

I called and offered support, but I do want to remind people of two things:

1) They're collecting info for a mailing list.
2) Remember that Kraft is part of the holdings of

Fixing link, because I am a moron: Remember that Kraft is part of the holdings of Philip Morris, a tobacco conglomerate (renamed Altria, I believe).

Which means that if they're actively trying to contribute something to humanity instead of killing people, we should encourage this behavior. ;) Positive reinforcement, anyone?

[dawnmipb.livejournal.com]

Yes, I agree and I did offer them my support. However, they are still making money while killing people.

I just wanted to make sure we all knew who we were dealing with.

[wufeidragon.livejournal.com]

That made me initially hesitant, too.
