Protest against donations to anti-LGBT candidates

On January 21st 2010 the Supreme Court of the United States in a 5-4 decision allowed corporations and big business to donate as much money as they want in political campaigns. Target and Best Buy are the first to test the waters (or the first to get caught) by supporting MN Forward, a PAC that supports Tom Emmer, and both Target and Best Buy stand by their decisions to support Tom Emmer for Governor of MN. Tom Emmer is not only... anti-gay he stands on the wrong side of most social issues. He is against a minimum wage for workers. He is against a womans right to choose and against an anti-bullying law for our youth. This is so much more than a gay issue it is a social issue on many different levels and by Target and Best Buy donating to this campaign to "Help their bottom line" we must unite to ensure this kind of corporate buying of elections must stop. Please join us on August 14th when we tell Target that this buying of elections must stop. It might have helped their bottom line but we are the people that shop at their stores, we are the people that buy their products and we will not shop at stores that donate money to candidates that discriminate against us. Our money will not be used to fight against equality.
