In reference to:

"ST. PAUL, Minn. — Target Corp. on Tuesday defended the use of its new freedom to spend money on political campaigns as employees and gay organizations criticized a $150,000 donation that will help a Minnesota GOP gubernatorial candidate who opposes gay marriage."

1. Copy of my just sent email:
(Begin email)
Really? A donation to a PAC tht is working to help elect the party of "NO", that is more than likely going to run an anti-gay candidate for governer? Happy with your 'new' right to spend as much as you wish to promote some agenda (please note: if you didn't realize you were going to offend some part of the community because you didn't know what Emmer stood for, become MORE INFORMED)?

Also note, your statement on your 'unwavering support' of the GLBT community is just that: words. Actions speak louder, and I guess you want folks to choose whether or not to shop in your store based on your words, but it is the actions that will tell us all we need to know.

Target Corporation has always seemed like such a good corporate 'neighbor'. Now I have my doubts. You are on a slippery slope here. Folks are watching. And may be shopping elsewhere.

Job creation? When have the GOP been into ANYTHING other than their union busting, anti-gay, keep folks in poverty so we have serfs, help the rich rich rich, bow down to anti-intellectualism? Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas. I am sorely disappointed in Target for this action.

4. Good, I hope he is feeling the heat.
And will think better of it next time he tosses $100,000 or $150,000, whichever it was, around.
