>>> Target Getting the Message - Stock Drops 7%
>>>
>>> "There is an anti-Christian bias in this country, and it is more
>>> on display at Christmas season than any other time." - Bill O'Reilly,
>>> The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News Channel - (Speaking about the decision
>>> of Target and other stores to ban the use of "Merry Christmas" in
>>> their stores and advertising.)
>>>
>>> Dear David,
>>>
>>> On October 7 we brought to your attention that Target was banning
>>> the Salvation Army's kettles from the front of their stores.  Now
>>> we've learned Target is also banning the use of "Merry Christmas"
>>> from their in-store promotions and from their advertising in papers,
>>> TV, etc.
>>>
>>> Your efforts are having an impact. USA Today (11/16/05) announced
>>> that "Target alarmed investors by saying projected sales at stores
>>> open a year in November would miss the estimated 4% to 6% growth.
>>> Shares of Target fell $4.13 to $54.30." (A 7% drop.)
>>>
>>> Target's ban of the Salvation Army and "Merry Christmas" expresses the
>>> same attitude toward Christianity as that held by Michael Newdow, who
>>> wants to ban "In God We Trust" from our currency and "under God" from
>>> our Pledge of Allegiance.
>>>
>>> AFA is asking individuals to boycott Target during the upcoming
>>> Thanksgiving
>>> weekend-the busiest shopping weekend of the year. Please share this
>>> request
>>> to boycott Target on that weekend with friends, family and members of
>>> your
>>> church and Sunday school class.
>>>
>>> Please sign the petition to Target. This petition will also be sent to
>>> other major chains banning the use of "Merry Christmas" including
>>> Costco, BJ's, Wal-Mart, Sears/K-Mart and Kohl's. It is basically too
>>> late to change their policies this year, but we can change it for next
>>> year. Last year we called for a boycott of Federated Stores because
>>> they banned "Merry Christmas." This year they are using "Merry
>>> Christmas!"
>>>
>>> A successful boycott of Target will send a message to every company!
>>>
>>> This is your opportunity to make your voice heard. Please act today
>>> and then forward this to friends and family.
