One person can still make a difference.

One person can still make a difference. Click here to take action! One person was able to encourage their local Wal-Mart to stop carrying the SI Swimsuit Calendar and recently not to carry the SI Swimsuit magazine. I personally spoke out at a local gas station and wrote and handed them a letter that stated in part: I am one that frequents ….  I will completely avoid doing business with … if you continue selling pornography – because that is what the SI Swimsuit Edition is. Years ago in this community we urged a downtown store to get rid of 35 various pornographic magazines which they had sold for many years.  Over 600 people joined with us in boycotting this store. I’m writing today on behalf of families and individuals who don’t want to be assaulted by lewd images such as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine available in your store – right at the eye level of children. There are numbers of people that shop in this community who want their shopping environment to be friendly to the eyes for themselves and their families.  And so I urge you to exercise greater care in the merchandise you stock and the material you display. It is a slippery slope.  We urge you to discontinue the sale of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition at your very earliest convenience. If you would like to discuss this further with me, please call me at … By the way, they did pull the magazine! One person stated the following: I am wondering if there is any way that we can contact some of the major chains (Walgreens, Wal-mart, CVS, etc.) all at once and request that they just not carry this issue.  I, along with many people I know, are just plain FED UP.  But not everyone has the time to contact everyone separately.  I contacted my grocery store and they moved it out of the way, but I need to contact Wal-Mart, CVS, and Walgreens too. Thanks. God Bless you for all that you do for getting this filth out of our society. Here is our action link for a number of gas station and grocery store chains!
