The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition is encouraging buycotts of Whole Foods across the nation, on Sep. 1.
Here’s some information for the KC area:
Whole Foods “Buycott”
Join us and patriots nationwide as we support Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. Mackey has faced opposition and attacks from liberals and unions after his op-ed opposing universal healthcare appeared in the Wall Street Journal. Mackey supports free markets and opposes Obamacare.
Kansas City is joining in the nationwide “buycott” so that as conservatives, we can spend our money at places that support our ideology.
Do your grocery shopping on September 1st at the
Whole Foods store in Kansas City located at 4301 Main Street, Kansas City, MO.
We’re asking people to shop between 6pm-9pm if possible.
More buycotts scheduled:
6 pm in St.Louis, Missouri at the Whole Foods store in Town and Country off Clayton Road
7 pm in Dallas, Texas at the Whole Foods store at 11700 Preston Road in Dallas, Texas
Let’s show our support for Mr. Mackey’s advocacy of free-market health-care reforms.
Thanks to Ginger for the reminder.
One More:
Another buycott is scheduled at the San Antonio Whole Foods Market at the Quarry Market. More info, here.
If anyone knows of any others, please let me know.
UPDATE:
I missed this video of John Stossel’s interview with John Macky, last week. It’s definitely worth a watch if you’ve not yet seen it:

That info was in my post, Andrea.
By the way, I hope it’s okay to go at an earlier time. Our evening tomorrow night is all tied up.

Deb, it says in my email, if you go earlier, to save your receipt.

Going shopping in Chicago. I hope we buy out everything.
