Subject: Mother tired of Dannon anti-gun rhetoric


Dear __________:
As a mother of three as well as a professional day care provider, my major
function in life has long been to assist in ensuring the health and well
being of children. To this end, I purchase and serve (as well as consume!)
huge quantities of yogurt, because of it's high levels of protein and
calcium, and other health- enhancing properties.
My brand of choice will no longer be Dannon.

My husband was murdered with a gun. If he had been as well-armed as his
assailants, I would most likely not be a widow and our children would not
be half-orphaned. In my opinion, companies such as yours, by assisting in
the attempt to disarm potential victims, are as guilty of murder as those
who physically pull the triggers.
Not only do I most vehemently object to your attempt to encourage victim
disarmament, but either your company is so staggeringly ignorant as to
actually believe the Fascist rhetoric spouted by the hoplophobes (people
with an irrational hatred or fear of guns), or one must question the
motivations of your company.
I, and many others like me, will be mounting a concerted effort to ensure
that your company suffers the same fiscal blow as has been dealt to K-Mart
and Smith and Wesson by those of us who have not yet been completely
mesmerized by lies promulgated as statistics by such as Handgun Control and
the MMM. The claim that these efforts serve to "protect kids and their
parents" be irresponsible companies such as Dannon is unconscionable. It
might interest you to know that I am blind copying this missive to friends
and to e-mails lists to which I belong (most of which are not firearms
related but whose members have viewpoints similar to my own and who number
in the many thousands), and hereby expressly give my permission for this to
be reposted by them with all identifiers intact.

Most sincerely,

Satanta, I think she's referring to the K-Mart boycott that quickly convinced the company to drop Rosie O'Goebbels as one of its spokescreatures.
 
WAGCEVP, good letter, I haved stopped using all their products since I first heard about their anti self defense views,
If you write them again you should tell them that you post info on this board and it has over 6500 members with a lot of friends. Unfortunatly I had to do this with one of the Powder Manufacturers when they got info from me but wouldnt send me the free manual they promised. Wow how they shaped up after I told them I would post how crummy a company they were on this forum. Hang in there WAGCEVP
 
MmmmmGood. Digest that Dannon!
Coming from a lady, a caregiver and so atriculate as well has great impact.

BTW, there's a typo in the third para after the word "parent". I think it's supposed to be "by" not "be".

Great job.

Dannon supported the MMM'ers.

RE: Kmart..... what David said :)
 
DOH! I just finished a Dannon 2.5 seconds ago!

This sucks... What other Yogurt is there?
Yogurt and Grapenuts cereal... Yummy!
 
FWIW: I didn't write the letter above.

Below is the response that I wrote to Dannon after their first response to me. This was several months ago...... And the Boycott continues :)

>Thank you for taking the time to contact The Dannon Company in reference to
>our support of the Million-Mom March and >apologize for our delayed response.
>We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to >share the reasons behind our
>decision to be involved in this cause. I >hope that this letter will provide
>you new information,


No Ma'am, This letter has NOT provided me with any "new information", just
the same old LIES being thrown around by Handgun Control Inc!

> and will help you to better understand our >decision.


Oh Yes, this letter makes your antigun/ anti self defense/ anti freedom
stance VERY clear. And that is why WAGC will begin a boycott of Dannon
Products. We will see to it that EVERY member of Women Against Gun Control
gets a copy of this letter as well as every firearm discussion list
available. There are over 70 million law abiding firearm owners in this
country. If you don't think we can have an effect on you just ask Citibank
and K-mart.


>The Million-Mom March is an event that is >organized by mothers nationwide.

Mistake number one: The misguided Mother March was NOT organized by Mother's
Nationwide. In case you didn't see it there was and STILL IS OPPOSITON to
these misguided Moms. Don't take my word for it.
Visit Women Against Gun Control : http://www.wagc.com
Second Amendment Sisters http://www.sas-aimm.org
Mothers Arms http://mothersarms.org
These Mothers rallied and marched the same day at a Gun Rights Rally with
other responsible gun owners, who are for REAL gun safety and for protecting
our Constitution?

>The event is dedicated to the mission of >educating our children and our country

Mistake number two: The misguided moms march was NOT about "educating" anybody. MMM is NOT an "educational" organization! They marched to LOBBY(THAT'S POLITICS!) for more GUN CONTROL under the guise of gun "safety".
The Laws which the Anti self-defense Million Moms are endorsing are NOT about the safety of their children! They are endorsing laws that will leave them/us and their/our children DEFENSELESS!
WAGC, SAS and Mothers Arms believes in firearm proofing children, NOT children proofing firearms.
Childproof firearms are just as fruitless as childproof aspirin bottle caps.
Education IS the answer! My six yr. old nephew has been able to recite the
basic firearm safety rules since the age of two. The number one rule being
DO NOT TOUCH DADDY'S gun!
In addition, JPFO, NRA and GOA also endorse gun safety. NRA's Eddie Eagle
teaches children at a young age to stop, don't touch, leave the area, and
tell an adult. NRA, as well as WAGC, has certified firearms training
instructors available to teach firearm safety.


>about the life-threatening danger of guns.

What about teaching them the LIFE SAVING aspects of firearms as well. After
all more lives are SAVED from the defensive use of firearms than are taken
by misuses of firearms.

The Second Amendment is our basic fundamental human right to defend our
lives and our liberty. Time and again the courts have stated that neither
the police nor the state has a constitutional duty to protect individual
law-abiding citizens. Firearms are used 2.5 Million times a yr. in
self-defense situations. 2.5 million times a year! We MUST be allowed to
protect ourselves. UNINFRINGED!


>The intent is not to ban gun ownership.

Oh really?
Then you wouldn't mind explaining this statement by Rosie ODonell, the woman
that emceed the Misguided Mom March, for me, would you?

"I honestly think - and I am not an expert on the amendments - I think the
only people in this nation who should be allowed to own guns are police
officers. I don't care if you want to hunt, I don't care if you think it's
your right. I say 'sorry'. It is 1999, we have had enough as a nation. You
are not allowed to own a gun and if you do own a gun, I think you should go
to prison."

>Rather, the effort is to request tighter >gun control and safety.

Donna Dees-Thomases the organizer of the misguided moms march is no "average housewife" newly awakened to the world's problems. She is a
committed liberal Democrat, disguised as a "concerned mother" to hide her
liberal intentions. She is in the Clinton's inner Hollywood circle. Like all liberal hacks, Dees-Thomases must lie about who she is, what she is and her
agenda. There were not near one million folks at that march, moms or not. If
she were really concerned about our kids, she would march on Hollywood and
all it's violence. But, that would hit her where it hurts--in the pocketbook!

Wake up folks, this is not about gun "control". It is about parents
controlling their children and not the other way around! It is about
Criminal Control and 2nd Amendment rights. It is about protecting the
Constitution being chipped away by the liberal agenda!

>Guns need to be kept out of the hands of >people who are violent or deranged
>and away from children.

There are all ready over 20,000 laws on the books that keep guns from
violent deranged felons and children. The real problem is that these laws
are NOT being enforced!

>Specifically, the requests include: waiting >("cooling off") periods,
>background checks, licensing handgun >owners, registering all handguns, gun
>safety locks and a limit to the number of >handguns an individual can
>purchase in a month.


First of all everyone of these GUN CONTROL laws are UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Second, Everyone of these laws which the Anti self defense Moms endorse
will ONLY serve to ENHANCE the working environment of criminals by providing
UNARMED victims.
1) Twice the anti self defense folks have PROVEN us correct when we say that
trigger locks kill innocent women and children. How many rapists do you know
will wait until a potential victim unlocks and loads her self-defense
weapon? How many potential victims EVER get a second chance?
2) It has been proven time and again that Gun free zones are killers also.
Gun Control Kills: Columbine HS , Littleton Co (only defense was to hide
behind tables and pray). Armed Citizens Save lives: Pearl HS; Pearl
Mississippi (assistant principal was able to retrieve a self defense weapon
from his automobile and stop the shooter)
3) YOU tell me what act of violence limiting one gun purchase a month will
end.
4) a) Read your history: Registration leads to confiscation and that leads
to genocide
Visit: http://www.jpfo.org

b) These Misguided Moms claim that registering and licensing law abiding gun
owners like drivers will help keep them "responsible".
Let me ask you a couple of questions?
1) Has the fact that cars are registered and drivers are licensed lessened
the chance of us or our children being killed by an irresponsible driver
who decides to have a little too much to drink first?
2) What laws will you pass to keep CRIMINALS responsible?
3) What laws will you pass to hold CRIMINALS accountable?


The Laws which the Anti self-defense Million Moms are endorsing will NOT
stop violence! Why? Because unlike the SMART MOMS of MADD, they are placing
the responsibility and accountability on LIFELESS INANIMATE OBJECTS/TOOLS
instead of the IRRESPONSBLE INDIVIDUAL. As long as they insist on blaming
the wrong cause of violence, there will always be violence.

Not one of those laws being endorsed would have stop any of the school
shootings, the DC shooting, stalkers, rapists, carjackers, muggers,
robberies, assaults..NOTHING!

At WAGC, we abhor gun violence AND violence with knives, baseball bats,
shovels, fists or any other tool. The difference between WAGC and our
opponents is that we blame the Irresponsible INDIVIDUALS who commits the act
of violence and NOT the TOOL used in the commission of the act, or the
law-abiding gunowners.

You want to stop crime and violence? REALLY? 1) Start holding INDIVIDUALS
responsible for their action! 2) a)Make Prison a place that NOONE wants to
be:
b)Get rid of ALL the prison perks. color
cable TV, gyms, libraries, etc. C) Get rid of "plea bargaining"
d) Get rid of the "insanity" plea
3) Close the "revolving doors" of justice
