Prince should not use Target for US distribution - they support anti gay & anti worker candidate

As many of you recall Prince used Target to distribute his 2007 Planet Earth Album.

I would suggest he not do this, this time. Target has recently gave $150,000 to a candidate who is anti gay and anti worker.

The Minneapolis-based retailer Target just gave over $150,000 to buy ads supporting state Rep. Tom Emmer, a far-right Republican candidate for governor. This makes Target one of the very first companies to take advantage of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision allowing unlimited corporate cash in elections.

Target must think customers won't care. They're wrong: We do care, and we need to let them know that we want Target -- and all corporations -- out of our elections. Can you join me in sending a message to Target's CEO at the link below?

I will be boycotting Target.

P.S. I was not sure if this was the right topic since it deals with both Prince and politics.

Prince is anti-gay.

Prince already used Target.

The Target situation was recently posted.

This thread is a dupe.

Ooo !!!

Things are about to get hot. I don't believe P is 'anti-gay' but, if the New World Translation talks about it, then, well ... You know ...

Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

Genius. Wish more people would do that. I think it's funny when people think they are the first to report ANYTHING. You would think that when they are starting a new thread a small little part of their brain would wonder if the topic has already been discussed. But no....

You're wrong. I don't care. I don't see you promoting any boycotts of companies who donate to Democrats.

Okay, I'll be sure to tell him in our next marketing meeting. Let me write that down, "Prince, No Target for distribution....anti-gay...anti-worker...republican-bad" Okay, got it down, I'll be sure to let him know, k? smile

Seriously, i applaud your effort to inform the ppl about this heated political issue and I agree with you about the unlimited spending turning us into a Plutocracy and its evil....but it has no relevance to Prince...well not to Prince fans smile

Please provide a link to the website of a Democrat candidate who openly supports institutionalized and legalized discrimination and I will gladly make a post suggesting Prince boycott them too.

Thank you. And also, there is no way of telling if Prince is pro-gay these days. And the deal is done and predates the donation....I'm just repeating shit!
