PepsiCo has changed it's tune!

This is a great post provided by Jeff Miller at the Curt Jester.  Apparently, PepsiCo has caved under the pressure of boycotts.  Strangely enough, just last month they denied ever using any human cells for research.  They are singing a different tune this month.  This is what I mean about how they do everything they can to deceive you...to tell you half truths.  You are free to do what you wish, but I'm staying away from PepsiCo.  It just feels safer.

Planned Parenthood Boycott List

****UPDATE*****
My wonderful friend Barbara from Praying for Grace reminded me that this is only a PARTIAL list. If you become a member at Life-Decisions, you are entitled to a COMPLETE list....Barbara says at least 10 times the amount of businesses! I would also like to note that writing letters to the CEO's of these companies DOES work. Many have been removed because they discontinued contributing to PPH! Thank you Barbara!!!!!!



Take a good look at this partial Boycott List of contributors to Planned Parenthood. I must admit, when I first received this list (and it changes all the time), I was shocked at which companies used my money to contribute to Planned Parenthood. Admittedly, it is not always in our control to make a change to another company, but I think most people can do a reasonable job of changing what they can.
