Home Depot practices reflect change; AFA suspends boycott

September 5, 2013

When AFA called for a boycott of Home Depot three years ago because of its support of homosexual activist groups, I knew we were taking on a huge task. After all, Home Depot is a huge company. But I knew we had a lot of friends who would stand with us.
Now, I'm glad to report to you that we are suspending the boycott of Home Depot. After monitoring the company for several months, AFA is satisfied the company has withdrawn its major financial contributions to gay activist groups and events.

I truly believe this is a direct result of your willingness to become involved. In fact, more than 750,000 people signed the Boycott Home Depot Pledge.

Although Home Depot has made changes, we will continue to monitor their behavior. We suspect Home Depot will publicly deny having made changes, but their actions speak louder than words.

Your AFA will continue to challenge major U.S. companies to remain neutral in the culture wars rather than to use their resources to promote anti-family issues.

Sure they may be more concerned about their bottom dollar, yet~ Times are a changing.

I saw that about Hawaii! Good on you. It's time, Cha. Past time. Under Obama the world seems to be changing, baby step by baby step. Sure we have a long path ahead of us, however I like what I am seeing. Like the article above says. "Actions speak louder than words"

Colors change and so do people. I believe that, I truly do.

Thanks sweetie. To the color of change~
