Something Must Be Done
The following corporations have something very important in common:
Eli Lilly
Angie's List
Republic Airlines
Finish Line
ACE Rent a Car
Steak 'n Shake
Marsh Supermarkets
Emmis Communications
Sun King Brewing
Applied Instruments
There are more, but those are the ones who leapt off the page. What they have in common is that they are corporations who have their headquarters in Indiana. The same Indiana that passed a law that now legalizes the discrimination against the LGBT community by businesses in the name of "religious freedom." While there are 19 other states with such laws, since their elected leadership chose to take this stand in 2015, when the tide against such discrimination is finally turning, let us make this the battleground.
I don't use any of these corporations. But if I did, I would immediately stop doing so. The way to bring the government of Indiana to its knees is not through peaceful protests, or gatherings. The way to effect change is through economic power. The CEO of Salesforce, Marc Benioff made a public statement that he will no longer send employees or customers to Indiana. We must tell the CEOs of every business of any size in Indiana that we will not spend a single dollar that will wind its way into their coffers until this law is repealed.
Eli Lilly is the company behind Cialis. Imagine if every man in the U. S. who uses their product were to switch to an alternative like Levitra, and let Eli Lilly know the reason why. If a large bloc of their two million subscribers were to stop paying them $10 a year, Angie's List might speak up to those elected officials.
Boycott Indiana and any Indiana-based Business until this law is repealed. As to the other 19 states, we're coming for you after we finish with Indiana.
