I told them how much I and my insurance company spent per month in their store and pharmacy (the sum is considerable). I asked them to confirm whether or not they had pulled their advertising because in three weeks I am set to refill my prescriptions. If they've pulled their advertising from Glenn Beck, I'm headed to the Walgreen's just up the street. I contacted CVS and asked them about their pulling their advertising from Glenn Beck.

CVS lost me as a regular customer years ago because of their unsatisfactory handling of my prescriptions. Since then I've only gone there if it was convenient, now I won't. I got the same letter as above form SC Johnson, but am too suspicious to be willing to buy their products again yet. Proctor & Gamble didn't bother to write me back. I've ditched them for their competitors. I agree. CVS lost me as a regular customer years ago because of their unsatisfactory handling of my prescriptions.

Both leave you little option but to think about what they have said, and then act on it.

LOUIS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The national leadership team of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition this morning announced a series of Tea Party Buycott events designed to support John Mackey and the Whole Foods grocery chain. Mackey is the CEO whose op-ed in The Wall Street Journal opposing Obamacare and supporting free market health care reform has sparked unprecedented and unwarranted attacks from left wing propagandists. The first two events are scheduled for Tuesday evening, September 1, 2009 in St. Louis, Missouri and Dallas, Texas, with additional events in other cities and locales to come. The St. Louis event will be held at the Whole Foods store located in Town and Country, Missouri off Clayton Road and will begin at 6 pm. The Dallas kickoff event will be held at the Whole Foods Market located at 11700 Preston Rd., Dallas, Texas and will begin at 7 pm. Details of these Tea Party Buycotts and future buycotts can be found online at http://www.teapartybuycott.com. Dana Loesch of the St. Louis Tea Party explained that a Tea Party Buycott asks supporters to gather [in this case] at the Whole Foods store to show economic support. "We are asking supporters to do all their week's grocery shopping that night. Most tea party supporters are not regular customers of Whole Foods, and we want to show our support for Mr. Mackey's championship of free market health care reforms." Katrina Pierson of the Dallas Tea Party echoed Loesch's comments, adding, "Whole Foods will be supported by tens of thousands of fellow Americans, showcasing the economic impact the Tea Party movement can play in support of people who share our ideals." Kevin Jackson, St. Louis-based conservative black author, said of the event, "This Tea Party Buycott will send a message that many Americans share Mr. Mackey's concerns. We support his message and his company. We also say to other CEOs with the courage of Mr. Mackey, we will support you as well." Gina Loudon of St. Louis, Missouri, who conceived the Tea Party Buycott concept and website at http://www.teapartybuycott.com, said, "We're going to hit them where it counts-the wallet." Michael Patrick Leahy, national spokesperson for the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, said, "We're taking the Alinsky boycott tactic and we're turning it on its head. We're making a positive statement of support, showing that fiscally conservative Americans have purchasing power, and we are more than willing to exercise it in support of great companies like Whole Foods and great CEOs like John Mackey."
