LifeNRA Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I wouldnt expect nothing more from a FRENCH owned company!!! Target Corporation will continue to ban the Salvation Army from their 1,351 stores this Christmas season. The Army will not be allowed to place their red kettles in front of Target stores. Despite increased need caused by the hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Target continues to bar the Salvation Army. Many observers feel that the ban by Target is a result of pressure put on the company by homosexual groups. Homosexual activists have targeted the Salvation Army for years because of the Army's refusal to recognize their lifestyle. Target is a supporter of various homosexual causes. While Target contributes to homosexual groups, the company publicly states that they will not contribute to any religious groups. For Target, homosexual organizations are worthy of financial support, Christian and Jewish organizations are not. Further showing Target's true colors, WTOP Radio Network in Washington, DC, reports that Target is one of the national chains that will be carrying a new line of women's products that includes a vibrator. Elexa by Trojan spokeswoman Cassandra Johnson says the products will be discreetly packaged and sold in the feminine care aisle. "Formerly the domain of sex shops, such products have been brought out of the shadows by popular television shows like 'Sex and the City,'" WTOP reported. While Target continues to ban the Salvation Army, competitors such as Wal-Mart are increasing their donations to the Salvation Army. Wal-Mart and others continue to welcome the Army's kettles. Please send an email asking Target to end their ban of the Salvation Army and their offering of a sex toy line of products. In addition, you can email Wal-Mart, thanking them for supporting the Salvation Army. American Family Association Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Re: Target will continue to ban the Salvation Army!!! Are you still going on about Target being a French owned company, do some research, their parent companies headquarters is in Minneapolis last I checked, which was last year, which was the last time this was brought up. Hey, at least Target is consistent, as well as keeping the Salvation Army from their stores, they keep everyone else from soliciting money out front as well. If Target doesn't want groups soliciting donations in front of their stores, that's their right, I for one get a little tired of coming out of Wal-Mart and being harassed for some type of donation every time I go to the store.

slugshooter Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Re: Target will continue to ban the Salvation Army!!! Check out this link to see what the evil Target is up to. It seems the VFW appreciates the support they get from Target, and in fact, at the top of the article, it brings up the false e-mail campaign that started in 2002, and guess what, the person who started it has apologized. As far as the sexual aid that "might" be sold in the store. Don't buy it! I bet they'll be kept behind the counter also, noone will even know they're there except those who specifically go there to get it. I can think of worse things. http://target.com/target_group/community_giving/vet_support.jhtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Re: Target will continue to ban the Salvation Army!!! Easy sluggo! I personally dont and will not shop Target! I should have left the "AIDS" part out of the post, but wasnt thinking due to the lack of sleep! I dont post too many emails from the AFA, because some of thier views are too critical and just plain silly! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyj987 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Target will continue to ban the Salvation Army!!! I think slugshooter's onto something here. Though I would prefer that Target allow the Salvation Army, they have the right to deny them. Those who would rather shop where the kettles are will vote with their checkbooks.

TreeStandBowHunter Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Target will continue to ban the Salvation Army!!! I thought we sqashed this "Target is French owned" thing long ago. There was a similiar story that I had posted a year or so ago about Target not allowing the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign because they were French. Well it turned up that I was wrong even though I just took it from a revolving email that I got...but nonetheless, the last I heard, Target is not French owned but that they just limit the amout of support they give to other agencys. Although I would rather see them support the Salvation Army and Toys for Tots and not some gay people but hey, I guess they have that right. Remember people, humans are born gay these days so we must support them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Daddy Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Target will continue to ban the Salvation Army!!! My son in law is a manager for a chain grocery store. They do not allow any groups to use their facilities for any solicitations period. It has nothing to do with religion, beliefs, promoting or not promoting any lifestyles. It has everything to do with keeping the stores non-union. If they allow any kind of solicitation on premises, they would have to allow union organizing solicitation as well.

[/ QUOTE ] If that were the case, using that definition, then Wal-Mart would have been unionized long ago and/or allow their employees to talk with union leaders. Wal-Mart is totally against unionization, which basically means the worlds largest retailer can continue to pay their store employees crap. I worked at a Distribution Center, they pay well, when I left I was making almost $12 an hour, now they start at over $13, BUT, no union, meaning, they can make you work overtime and basically treat you like dirt. I don't know how many times in the first 6 months I worked I was told I had to work on my day off, if I didn't, I would be written up. Hey, I needed the money, but, I didn't appreciate being told I had to lose a day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
