Boycott Whole Foods for Opposing Health Reform, Labor Rights

From Progressive Maryland: Whole Foods Opposes Health Reform, Labor
Rights-- Boycott & Help Progressive Md. & Allies Leaflet/Picket the
Silver Spring Store, Fenton & Wayne Ave. Sundays 9 am- Noon, Oct. 25 &
Nov. 1 (rain or shine)

Did you know Whole Foods CEO John Mackey:
* Strongly opposes President Obama's health care reforms? (Read his
op-ed in Wall Street Journal, Aug. 12, 2009:
http://www.progressivemaryland.org/public/documents/CLIPS-TopStories/2009/aug/2009_8_12_wsj_whole_foods_ceo.pdf
* Believes Americans have no right to health care, food & shelter?
* Fires employees who dare to organize themselves into a union?

Mr. Mackey uses the money customers spend at Whole Foods to promote
myths and propaganda created by the insurance industry and big drug
companies to derail health care reform, and to prevent his workers from
forming a union. Recent polls continue to show a large majority of
Americans want a "public option" in any health care reform bill. Our
weekly leafleting is turning away hundreds, raising awareness, and
building the nationwide boycott.

Help leaflet Whole Foods and send Mackey a message.
Boycott & tell them why: 301.984.4874; fax 301.984.2064.
