Now more than ever - Boycott Whole Foods

For those who still shop at Whole Foods, please keep in mind that Whole Foods is anti health care reform. 

Here is an op-ed from the WSJ written by Whole Foods CEO John Mackey:
online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204251404574342170072865070.html

Among the callous, offensive statements Mackey makes there's this suggestion:
"revise tax forms to make it easier for individuals to make a voluntary, tax-deductible donation to help the millions of people who have no insurance"

With that statement he ADMITS that his free market so-called solutions will never work!!! He admits that there will always be millions of people who will need to beg to get health care!!!  Unbelievable.

Yes, and then you have people like the somehow-still-relevent (?) Sarah Palin saying things like: “Yesterday President Obama responded to my statement that Democratic health care proposals would lead to rationed care; that the sick, the elderly and the disabled would suffer the most under such rationing; and that under such a system, these ‘unproductive’ members of society could face the prospect of government bureaucrats determining whether they deserve health care.”  Isn't this the current state of affairs, except the 'death panels' are made up of accountants rather than doctors?
Thanks for giving me another reason not to shop at this pseudo-progressive grocery store.
Here is another good article on the current healthcare 'debate':

"Need to make it look like regular Americans oppose the health-insurance reform bills now being considered by Congress? Make sure a handful of those angry white people turn up at the town hall meetings now being conducted by members of Congress throughout the country. Make sure they disrupt the meeting and rattle the congressperson.

Capture it all on amateur video and put it up on a faux, amateur-looking Web site, and try to kid the media into thinking there’s a widespread rebellion happening. After all, the media are gonna want that dramatic footage."
