I cant seem to locate the link right now but will as soon as I find it, anyway heres the deal. General Mills Corp is issuing calnders called "Pets and their Celebrities" with Golden Grahm cereal. These calenders are being printed by the HSUS and have the HSUS info all through them. I emailed general mills and while their responce seemed sympithetic to my concerns they dont seem to realize that they are doing nothing more then advertising the HSUS and helping them push their comunist veiws on people across this nation, alot of which are children. So in any event we all need to ban togther here and email and let them know that we dont like them supporting and advertise groups that look to take away our rights. these people are trying to ban everything american. If they have it there way no more steaks, hunting, fishing, dairy, imagine no more being able to take your kids to the store for ice cream on a hot summer day? and of course last but not least no more reptiles if they have their way. here are the emails I sent and recieved from them

heres their reply
From: "Corporate Consumer Response" We did not anticipate that a calendar promoting responsible pet ownership would be in any way controversial. Our focus was on the message the calendar conveys, about the wonders and benefits of being a pet owner, and reinforcing the responsibilities of pet ownership. We felt the calendar was an excellent vehicle to communicate that topic. In no way was it intended to convey that General Mills is against hunting, fishing or farming. General Mills is not anti-hunting or anti-fishing. We have even honored champion fisherman on the Wheaties box, most recently in August of 1999. But we also now realize that some of the views espoused by HSUS, from whom we obtained the calendars, are not shared by an important number of customers and consumers. That point has been driven home by consumer contacts like yours, and we are taking your views to heart. Your views will certainly be shared with the decision-makers involved in this and future decisions regarding our promotional tie-in partners. Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us and make us aware of your feeling on this matter. Sincerely, Jennie Taylor General Mills email this address and let them know how we feel about them supporting companies that look to take away our rights Corporate.Response@genmills.com also take a look at the link below, maybe if were lucky we can get General Mills to drop the HSUS calenders, thanks Jason

Dear Mr. Sweigart:
Thank you for contacting us to express your concern with the "Pets and their Celebrities" calendar currently being included with Golden Grahams cereal. The calendar promotes the benefits - and responsibilities - of pet ownership
