Bill Penzey's message for today! Read to the end, he's brilliant!

Impeachment Day at Penzeys!
—Could there possibly be a better day for Penzeys Justice than today? Are the Republicans in the Senate really willing to forever be called out by history as being every bit as corrupt as the President? These are exciting times and as fate would have it, we have our best offers for times like these coming to an end right now. Time to get off the sidelines and act now.

Do you remember earlier in the year when you were like “I’m giving a whole lot of Penzeys gifts this holiday season”? Clearly a lot of you have, because we’ve been busy. But if you haven’t yet placed your order, now is the time and we’re rocking some pretty good Impeachment Day deals to make it worth your while. In timing that comes pretty close to perfect, Penzeys Justice, probably our best blend ever, has made its triumphant return in just the nick of time. First we made Justice, then we couldn’t keep up with America’s demand for Justice. Now we are ready for that demand without a moment to spare.

And not only is Justice back, it's back at a two-for-one price with the Penzeys Justice Poster thrown into the offer as well. “Besides the art of the Justice label, are there any words on the Justice Poster?” I’m glad you asked because there are indeed words and here they are:

“Meet Justice!

The Newest from Penzeys

With Justice

Peace, Equality & Tasty Food!

Justice is the light that has guided America through every storm. Now one party wants to obstruct it, twist it, steal it away from We the People to gift it to their donors. America's future depends on us not letting that happen.

Season Liberally!

Join us at www.penzeys.com”

Through Thursday 12.20.19 both the regularly $8.95 Justice plus the $6.95 Poster (a $14.90 combined value) can be yours for only $4.40. This is quite a deal. Justice is a really tasty, really versatile blend. And as much as you can indeed trust me on this, I’m pretty sure you can also verify that trust by reading the comments below where your Justice tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated. For me and those I cook for, it’s the green vegetables where Justice is irreplaceable. But potatoes, rice and pasta aren’t far behind. And 2 tsp. plus 2 tsp. Pasta Sprinkle in a half-cup mayo + a half-cup buttermilk makes a great dressing/veggie dip, or with the addition of a little Frank’s, an awesome wing dip. We like Justice!

Thursday is also the end of our regularly $39.95 American Soul box for just $20. We created the Soul box as a reminder of all that is at stake and of all that is being put at risk by the corruption and cruelty that have overtaken the Republican Party. There’s good words inside the Soul Box, but there’s also eight truly tasty blends that are the perfect reminder of the incredible diversity that has always actually made America great.

And while our stores are well-stocked for this last big week, for online sales we are now coming down to the wire. Monday we were at a three-day backlog on mail orders. Through the perseverance of many good people, here we are now down to a day-and-a-half backlog. This means both Wednesday’s and Thursday’s offers will ship Friday, so there is a lot to be said for choosing expedited 2-day shipping at checkout. The good news is that through Thursday at midnight Pacific we are offering a 2-day shipping upgrade for just $9.95 on orders over $50. While checking out simply choose the 2-day option when asked how you would like your order shipped.

And if you are not quite sure on what to order and are not too keen on paying for shipping, through Thursday we are also offering $75 Gift Cards for just $59.95. And since Gift Card orders take a little quicker route out the door here, there is no need on gift card only orders to pay for any upgrade on shipping so these still ship for free, which is nice. You can find the gift card link here: https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/%2470-penzeys-gift-card-for-%2459.95/c-24/p-3129/pd-s

And at some point today, maybe even over dinner, please take a moment to reflect on the history being made right before our eyes. This is not like the last impeachment. Back then both sides admitted to the reality of the situation. It was more a question of was this what the founders thought impeachment was created for. This time there is no doubt that this is exactly what the founders created impeachment for. This time Republicans in Congress must choose between the Constitution, which they have sworn to protect, or to instead use the power of their office to obstruct justice and in that process join the president in his crime.

And yes, if it is your way, please say a very honest prayer for Republicans. For those in national office I don’t believe it will hold much sway. By the time Republicans get to national office they understand the republican gig. They know their job is to take health care from the poor simply to give tax cuts to the rich. They know they are setting in motion eighty percent of America’s abortions by banning sex education in schools; blocking affordable, accessible birth control; and shutting down Planned Parenthoods across the country. For nationally elected Republicans blocking minorities from voting is no biggie. And they are fine with catastrophically damaging the Earth’s environment for a thousand years to come for short-term profits for the fossil fuel industry.

But as much as I don’t hold out much hope for thoughts and prayers for Republicans in national office, I still hold out hope for their voters. Where once you could get a Republican Senator to pause at the question of “Have you no dignity?” today any nationally elected official still with the Republican Party has moved past any thought of dignity a long time ago. But Republican voters are a very different story. Many still do have dignity, many still do care. I find great promise in the fact that they only believe what they believe because Fox News, the Attorney General and all the rest are intentionally lying to them. The trick is how to get them to see the reality right in front of them.

For us the way forward is to grow our message as best we can. This time of year gives us the very best chance to grow and you sharing Justice, gift boxes and gift cards is our best chance at doing that. Thanks for your help. And seriously, it’s time to put Justice back on the table. Get it now while it’s a deal. You will be happy you did.

Thanks for your support. You make being us possible,

Bill

All the people who could clear trump of his crimes by testifying under oath

are refusing to testify under oath. Wonder why that is?

Funny how that works. Not only could the republicans completely clear trump of any wrong doing, they could "own the dems" and shut them down in complete embarrassment by having these key witnesses testify and produce the documents.

But all they want to do is make noise and hammer away on the process.
