7. One way to Papa Johns is through Peyton Manning

Nov 2012

He has a Children's Hospital named after him in Indianapolis.

He advertises for Papa Johns and bought 21 of their franchises. He needs to take a stand in favor of health care. Otherwise why the hell is he associated with a children's hospital?

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021789628#post1

He is busy playing football. I'm sure he doesn't understand the issue. We need to find a way to educate him. If he understood, I believe he would do the right thing. And if he doesn't, I think we should seriously consider a campaign to reduce the value of the "Peyton Manning brand".
