We Need to Call For a NATIONAL PROTEST HOBBY LOBBY DAY.

Expose the hypocrisy.
Call them out.

Choose a day for National Protest, Print out (see below) & Distribute flyers, Make some noise & expose those hypocrites who talk out both sides of their mouth. Religion/Profit.
-------------------------------------------
Here's the Print out & a Link if you want to add more.
This exposure is seriously needed since the public probably does not even know this about Hobby Lobby.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The owners of Hobby Lobby do not appear to have any problem with profiting from the companies that manufacture the very products that so grievously offend their religious principles.

The following is a summation of the companies manufacturing these products that are held by the Hobby Lobby employee retirement plan, as set forth by Ms. Redden’s remarkable reporting:

These companies include Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which makes Plan B and ParaGard, a copper IUD, and Actavis ACT +0.39%, which makes a generic version of Plan B and distributes Ella. Other holdings in the mutual funds selected by Hobby Lobby include Pfizer PFE +0.2%, the maker of Cytotec and Prostin E2, which are used to induce abortions; Bayer , which manufactures the hormonal IUDs Skyla and Mirena; AstraZeneca AZN +0.53%, which has an Indian subsidiary that manufactures Prostodin, Cerviprime, and Partocin, three drugs commonly used in abortions; and Forest Laboratories, which makes Cervidil, a drug used to induce abortions. Several funds in the Hobby Lobby retirement plan also invested in Aetna AET -0.37% and Humana, two health insurance companies that cover surgical abortions, abortion drugs, and emergency contraception in many of the health care policies they sell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get creative. This should be done at every HL across the Country.

I already sent them an email when the scotus first took the case telling them that I would never set foot into one of their stores again. If their sales slide enough, the'll get the message, OR perhaps just go out of business.

I'm assuming based on the decision today that they are not a publicly held company, and thus I'm guessing they have no stakeholders to answer to other than their owners.

I'm assuming the owners have done the math and know what they stand to lose and what percentage of their clientele are in line with their way of thinking.

I'm guessing that most people have known for at least months now or however long it was that this case was initially filed, where this company stands. If they haven't lost enough money to put them out of business or make them hurt up until this point I'm guessing further boycots or whatever else won't impact them.

What it really would take is for their suppliers/vendors/etc. to not sell to them. I'm guessing that's not going to happen either.

HL supports forced abortions in China with their dollars. They deny their employees health care based on gender. There is absolutely nothing Christian about their stance, and this decision is going to create all kinds of craziness and suffering. I will never spend a penny there and we should encourage others to make the same decision.
