I guess Bloomberg's $50 million wasn't enough

Received this email today from Moms Demand Action.  Looks like their first big fish is getting away.

Good for them, grass roots always beats big $$ every time!

So they think that even though directly contacting Target didn't have any effect, pressuring a few people who have small product lines in the store will convince them? That's just kind of comical.

If Target was selling my products and making me money, It's not likely that I would try to cause too much trouble because of my political views.   I really doubt that any of these celebrities will take a stand.

Did the fast tweet link let you put in your own message? If so we could use their system against them.

Today it's an "invitation" and tomorrow it will be a boycott.

 

I hope the typically flaky corporate PR people have learned from the past and see that entertaining such fringe groups is never good business.

Good question - no.  You only get to select which pre-written tweet you want to send.

You know what happens when you sell a product in a big box store and you start making demands? Your competitor takes your shelf space.

 

You are the supply chain. The supply chain does not dictate terms to mega retailers.

Like any petulant child... these groups have the same process:  1) ask nicely,  2) plead (beg), 3) get angry 4) boycott
