TAKE ACTION!: Boycott Kellogg's! February 13, 2009 4:03 PM

You Can Make a Difference

Dear Tim,

Thanks to you, the campaign against Kellogg's for dumping Michael Phelps has gotten the media's attention.  We've been the subject of hundreds of news articles, as well as a segment on CNN.

Now is your chance to increase the heat! We've swamped Kellogg's with comments on their phone lines, and now we can make sure they listen by sending an email urging them to retract their statement on Phelps.

DPA Network has already contacted Kellogg's asking for a meeting, and I'll let you know what we hear. With thousands of drug policy reformers like you taking action, they'll have to respond.

Believe it or not, a South Carolina sheriff is considering going after Phelps himself and has already arrested eight people associated with the party last fall at which he was photographed. So it's more important than ever to stand with Phelps and make our voices heard.

There should be no more marijuana arrests for Michael Phelps or anyone else. And Kellogg's should renew their contract with him. Contact them today to keep this concern at the forefront of Kellogg's -- and the public's -- minds.

Sincerely,





Ethan Nadelmann
Executive Director
Drug Policy Alliance Network

Hey, folks?  Do me a favor and please post in this thread when you've sent your e-mail to Kellogg's.

I would really appreciate it!,  and thank you kindly!

Tim .......and Miss Bibbs

I have sent the e-mail to Kellogg's; what's more, I took several of the other pro-common-sense-on-Cannabis Actions named at that site. What's more, I sent Kellogg's a "snail mail" postcard as well! Here is what I wrote on the postcard:

"Nearly all young people know the truth about Cannabis/Marijuana: that it is much less of a danger to society than alcohol or nicotine, both legal substances. Therefore, you are only hurting yourselves by censuring Olympic star and hero Michael Phelps. Wake up to reality! Don't perpetuate the lies." The funny thing is, I used an advertising postcard put out by Kellogg's itself, to write this on!

Snail mail address is: Kellogg Company/ 1 Kellogg Square/ Battle Creek, MI 49016-3599.

Mark Baynes is Chief Marketing Officer.

Hotline is 1-800-962-1413.

BMutiny,  you used a card from Kellogg's?! 

As Larry would say,  "Now,  that's funny right there!   I don't care who you are,  that's funny right there!"

Thanks for the info and the action!
