Gather up your family and friends, today, and head for your local Chick-fil-A. Here’s your chance to stand up for free speech, religious freedom and traditional marriage. It is important that politicians, media, and gay advocates not be allowed to bully and discriminate against individuals because of their viewpoint. Go to the business and purchase something big or small, but at the very least, stop in and say “Thank You!”
A few minutes ago I received a text from my husband that read like this:
Today is Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. Please, please, please, take the kids and go there today. What the left is doing to people who have a different viewpoint is wrong and very frightening. We need to support good people who have the courage to take a stand.
My husband is out-of-town on business and not in an area that has a Chick-fil-A. He was considering driving 150 miles to find one! I told him that was probably a little much, but I’d be sure to encourage people to get involved.
So I will add my plea to his: “Please, please, please take your family and friends with you to Chick-fil-A today.” Show up at school or your place of work carrying your Chick-fil-A bag. Or, go into the business and just say “thank you,” but show up.
After my husband’s first text, I responded that I was “already on it.” He texted back: “Good! The support needs to be unbelievably over the top.”
He’s right. This is one time that you can help send a very clear and important message.
