Kentucky progressive activists please check in, and spread the word.
Have people email, fax or speak to their local restaurant franchises or send this text below to the Kentucky Restaurant Association. Why kentucky? Because Senator McConnell holds the reigns of power in the Senate and he represents Kentucky. Let's face it, the Democrats do not have full control of the senate. However thousands of people will pressure Kentucky restaurants to get McConnell to let go of the reigns of power. You have nothing to lose. This costs you nothing and it just might end the war, never mind a silly ineffective resolution. Thank you for reading this.






To whom this may concern.

As of now there exists a boycott of the following restaurants in Kentucky whose parent companies contribute money to the Republican party: Wendy's, Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Dominos Pizza until Senator McConnell stops using the filibuster and George W Bush stops using the veto and the following federal legislation passes and turns into law:

1. Enactment of a TEN dollar an hour minimum wage.

2. Repeal of Medicare Part D and replacement of Medicare Part D with a simple 80 percent benefit coverage of every medication placed into Medicare Part B with no extra premiums, deductibes, no means test and no coverage gap. The repeal of the means test in Medicare Part B.

3. The end of the invasion and the war in Iraq with US troops deployed to Kuwait and the persian gulf and a UN force taking over the transition of Iraqi independence until the Iraqi army can take over.

Considering that those restaurant chains give money to the Republican party, we take our demands to the real source of power.

This boycott of these Kentucky restaurants will remain in effect until such demands get met.

Good day.
