If you ever needed a reason to boycott a company, this should do it.
-------------------------------------
I received this from a friend of mine and just thought I would pass it along. Guess you can file this under the "FYI" subjects. At any rate, here you go. Read it and draw your own conclusions.
W.A. (Bill) Green; USPSA, IDPA, NRA
"In 1997, my son, an Army Ranger who had served his country for more than 6
six years was DENIED a bereavement fare to attend the funeral of a close
family member. Then Northwest does this:
Northwest Airlines(NWA) provided Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, with 200
cut-rate flights for her constituents to attend the anti-second Amendment
Million Mom March. Fares were available on a three day notice price of $250
RT. A regular three day notice price is $2,300 RT. This represents a
$400,000 subsidy by Northwest to the anti-second Amendment movement.
Feinstein's husband Richard C. Blum is a member of NWA's board of directors.
So allowing cut-rate transportation for liberals to the Democrat-driven
anti-gun function was actually just an all-in-the-family deal. In 1996, NWA
gave $221,400 in soft money contributions to the Democratic Party and
Clinton-Gore reelection campaign.
You and your airline are DESPICABLE! You can allow a TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR
DISCOUNT TO FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE TO ATTEND A POLITICAL RALLY YET YOU DENY A
BEREAVEMENT FARE TO A SOLDIER TRYING TO GET HOME TO A FUNERAL!!
NO MEMBER OF MY FAMILY WILL EVER FLY NORTHWEST AGAIN! I WILL DO ALL IN MY
POWER TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE I KNOW OR MEET HEARS THIS STORY AND WHY WE ARE
BOYCOTTING NORTHWEST. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.
PS: The "Flight Date" is erroneous. There was_NO flight date because your
crummy airline would_not grant a bereavement fare to a soldier. But there
was a flight date for the rally I guess. And a cheap flight for those who
wanted to attend. What an airline. Screw the soldier who gives his all
every day to maintain the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, and
reward the political hacks who work to destroy the freedoms our soldiers
have fought and died to preserve."
