UPDATE: Whole Foods CEO Attacked When Exercising 1st Amendment Rights

Here are some articles with updates about what is going on with the Whole Foods Boycott and Anti Boycott:

BRIETBART: Boycotting the boycotters

Opinion: Supporters of Glenn Beck and Whole Foods Challenge Boycotts


As a proud member of the I SUPPORT MR. JOHN MACKEY and WHOLE FOODS, INC. facebook group I recieved this message from the groups organizer, Crystal Mae, also featured on Greta's segment Food Fight.

........................................................................................................................................................

Mr. Mackey's proposals:

•Equalize the tax laws so that employer-provided health insurance and individually owned health insurance have the same tax benefits. Now employer health insurance benefits are fully tax deductible, but individual health insurance is not. This is unfair.

•Repeal all state laws which prevent insurance companies from competing across state lines. We should all have the legal right to purchase health insurance from any insurance company in any state and we should be able use that insurance wherever we live. Health insurance should be portable.

•Repeal government mandates regarding what insurance companies must cover. These mandates have increased the cost of health insurance by billions of dollars. What is insured and what is not insured should be determined by individual customer preferences and not through special-interest lobbying.

•Enact tort reform to end the ruinous lawsuits that force doctors to pay insurance costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. These costs are passed back to us through much higher prices for health care.

•Make costs transparent so that consumers understand what health-care treatments cost. How many people know the total cost of their last doctor's visit and how that total breaks down? What other goods or services do we buy without knowing how much they will cost us?

•Enact Medicare reform. We need to face up to the actuarial fact that Medicare is heading towards bankruptcy and enact reforms that create greater patient empowerment, choice and responsibility.

•Finally, revise tax forms to make it easier for individuals to make a voluntary, tax-deductible donation to help the millions of people who have no insurance and aren't covered by Medicare, Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

Keep standing up, and speaking out! Hope you have a great day!

In Liberty,

Crystal

Whole Foods CEO Attacked When Exercising 1st Amendment Rights

.

Check out the discussion Greta has about the Whole Foods boycotts.

As reported earlier this week the CEO of Whole Foods wrote an op-ed against the Obamacare plan providing his own solution to the admitted health care problem. Subsequently people have been organizing a boycott against Whole Foods.

Greta featured a woman who started a group on Facebook called I SUPPORT MR. JOHN MACKEY and WHOLE FOODS, INC. on the program to combat the ignorance of the protest organizer who was also a guest. Click below for the clip of the show.

Food Fight

The interaction between the man and Greta is wonderful! The organizer (who is supposedly a lawyer) calls Mr. Mackey a bad person and claims public option is the only solution. Greta counters with astonishment and confusion as to how he can claim to have the only right opinion and judges someone because they used thier first amendment rights. Its great!!

What can you do? Join the group on Facebook (if you have it) and make sure to let Whole Foods know how you feel by sending your local store an email.

You can also show your support by adding a comment to Mr. Mackey's blog post about he subject.
