The State of South Carolina continues to brazenly display the flag of the Confederacy, a known and professed symbol of racism, at its state house. The governor says she has not heard from any corporate CEO's; let's change that by petitioning those corporations and refusing to travel and make purchases in South Carolina.
Products made in South Carolina include Adidas, Kimberly-Clark (Huggies), Weyerhauser, Georgia-Pacific, Mohawk (carpet), Kohler (bath supplies), Heinz, Perdue (chickens), Nestle, Hillshire (deli meats), Shimano (bicycle parts), Shakespeare (fishing tackle), Husqvarna (outdoor power equipment), and purecars.com
Why is this important?
I'm outraged that government entities continue to display the confederate flag--an overt symbol of racism. Start with South Carolina! This must stop now and the only way to stop something in America is to hit those responsible in the pocket book.
