  I don't mind boycotting Pepsi.  However, don't forget that Coca-Cola, and other drinks made by them, are the #1 drink to boycott, because of their hiring hit squads in Columbia (and possibly other countries) to prevent union organizing.


  David Rovics even wrote a song about them -- "Killer Coke".


  For details on the Coke boycott, see http://killercoke.org/  "Murder... It's the real thing"


  I don't drink Coke any more, even if someone gives me one free.


  If you like sodas, the store/generic brands are much less expensive, too.

    Kanye West Dropped by Pepsi!!!

    It's Their Loss; Besides, Pepsi is no good for you anyway!!



    Kanye West, former spokesperson for Pepsi, has since lost his endorsement deal with the soft drink giant due to his publicized remarks regarding the mishandling of the Katrina evacuees/victims. I mean if you're like me....just SICK and TIRED of being black in America and being mishandled, Here is your opportunity.

    We're  calling a boycott on ALL Pepsi products. If they want to drop Kanye, how about we DROP them! And as much as we love a good Pepsi and a bag of Fritos, we should NOT buy another Pepsi including any of their family products (see link below) until a formal apology is given and a donation is rendered to the Red Cross (or a similar organization) in the sum of the amount of Kanye's contract with Pepsi.
    If you're committed to doing something to tell not just Pepsi but the world (including the Associated Press for that racist caption) that

    there is power in the Black community, then pass this along. Because there's POWER in numbers.
