I strongly believe in our personal freedoms and God-given rights,
many of which are enshrined within the United States Constitution.
I believe our personal freedoms are constantly under attack from
liberal and progressive forces. I encourage all US Citizens to
EDUCATE yourself on the Constitution, your freedoms guaranteed
therein, and to use only those businesses that support ALL of your
freedoms and rights.
I call for a boycott of these businesses or
corporations that are taking action to erode your freedoms and
rights: Dick's Sporting Goods; Field & Stream; WalMart; Levi's;
Chipotle's; Chili's; Starbucks; Sonic; Target; Yeti; Panera Bread;
WhataBurger; any business that posts signs on their premises
indicating that you must give up any or part of your freedoms and
rights to patronize them.
