Big Apple Pizza is being boycotted by right wing-nuts. (The bear hug guy)

I tried to buy a pizza by phone ("Send it to a homeless shelter or whoever is deserving&quot
Here's what they told me:
"Yes, we're being boycotted. There isn't really a homeless shelter here.
If you want to help, make a contribution to the Van Duzer Foundation."

"The mission of the Van Duzer Foundation is to assist families and individuals in St. Lucie County Florida, who are experiencing financial and personal hardship brought about by unforeseen crisis or tragedy."

Here ya go:

I mean with a name like DUzer, how could we not help the guy out?


Here's the restaurant website:

He's clearly a centrist and one who puts his money and time into helping others in a big way. I can totally dig that. I'd encourage folks to make a donation and spread the word. And the RW boycotters can kiss my grits.

If I lived in the area he would be my pizza guy for life.

I really admire the way he's turning the attention into something good for the foundation. I certainly hope some of that fabulous karma rubs off onto his business... I suspect it will.

There is also the suggestion in another thread that we send a pizza to the Obama HQ in Fort Pierce.

Fort Pierce Office
300 South US Hwy 1
Fort Pierce FL 34950
(305) 781-9641

Looks like it is less than 4 miles away.

Fucking idiots have to see if food passes the ideology test before it tastes good or not. Un-fucking believable the pettyness of these schmucks.

My father in law lived in Florida for a couple of years. My husband used to visit him and said the pizza was horrible (we are from Connecticut so we are spoiled). This guy is making New York style pizza. Plus, he rocks. He has enthusiasm for President Obama.
