Several weeks ago I used the AFA website to do the opposite of what they were asking. They were urging people to write to McDonalds and harass them into not supporting Gay partner benefits, so I wrote McDonalds and thanked them for not being Bigoted creeps like the AFA. But the problem is I now get tons of emails from AFA. The latest I pasted below. They want their people to harass Hallmark into not selling gay marriage greeting cards. So, My suggestion is to write to Hallmark and thank them for supporting gay couple in the tiny little way, and not allowing the AFA to bully them into something so ridiculous.
Hallmark defends gay marriage cards – Urge your local Hallmark store to refuse to carry them
Take Action! Urge your local Hallmark store owner to join others in refusing to carry Hallmark gay marriage cards in their stores. You can find your local Hallmark store contact information here.Please be polite, but firm when you contact your local store.August 25, 2008
Dear Dee,
Hallmark is reinforcing their decision to carry gay marriage cards with a message to supporters of traditional marriage – buzz off!
According to their website, corporate emails, and in response to phone calls, Hallmark is telling those who contact the company it will carry “cards that use specific language and images appropriate for same-sex wedding ceremonies.”Same sex marriage is not recognized in 48 states, but Hallmark has chosen to become a corporate advocate in advancing homosexual marriage.However, some local Hallmark store owners are refusing to carry them. Earlier this week, Jordan’s Hallmark, which owns seven Hallmark Gold Crown stores in Idaho, announced its stores will not carry gay marriage cards in their stores.Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible contribution to help us continue? Sincerely,
Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman
American Family Association
