JC Penney CEO: ‘Ellen Represents The Values Of Our Company’

7. I sent a thank you email to them yesterday - got a very nice response back -

JCPenney's corporate response to my thank you email"

"As we focus on being in sync with the rhythm of our customers' lives and operating in a 'Fair and Square' manner that is rooted in integrity, simplicity and respect, we couldn't think of a better partner than Ellen DeGeneres. We are extremely proud to have her on our team."

Here's the email I sent (luckily I needed a couple of things!):

"I just want to take a minute to thank you for standing by Ellen Degeneres as your spokesperson in the face of the American Family Association's group call to boycott JC Penney. Ellen is a warm, caring, honest person who represents the best of what America can be. The AFA's hateful attack is fueled by fearful, small-minded bigots who represent the worst of what America can be. Today I consciously chose to shop at Penney's as a small way of saying thank you. Even though I hadn't been to the Penney's near me in several years, I spent $100 there today. I will be back. Thank you again for standing up to the petty bigotry of the AFA."
