DO WE NEED TO BOYCOTT BUD?


The following came in from MoveOn.org. There are times when I find MoveOn and their constant demands for money kind of irritating, but this does need to be addressed, especially as I rather tend to drink Budweiser by default and because it’s always there….
“Why would a company like Anheuser-Busch oppose solutions to global warming?
Anheuser-Busch is a prominent member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which just launched a $100 million campaign described as a "declaration of war on the White House." The Chamber is pouring millions into killing clean energy as well as health care reform. Recently, an uprising of companies fighting back against the Chamber of Commerce has begun, led by companies like Apple, Nike, Johnson & Johnson, and GE. But Anheuser-Busch continues to help fund the Chamber's anti-climate agenda through their Chamber dues. Can you call Anheuser-Busch and urge them to quit the Chamber of Commerce? If you're a customer of Anheuser-Busch, be sure to mention it when you call. Here's the info: Anheuser-Busch (202) 293-9494”
