To: CTC Chairman, CEO, and Members, Board of Directors

 

Ladies and Gentlemen;

 

    Pepsi apparently thought Michael Jackson's image would increase sales when he was hired to promote Pepsi many years ago, I decided then that I would never buy or use any Pepsi product again. We keep our vows.  My wife of 45 years and I have ten children and we're grandparents of 31. There have been no separation or divorces among our children.

 

    Myself and most of my family have been long-time customers of CTC, so we're saddened that we'll no longer be able to support your chain of stores. Why? We know that some portion of our money will end up being used to fund the tearing down of marriage as being 'between one man and one woman'.

 

    Our belief in this time-honoured definition goes beyond civil law, which is man-made and subject to change, to the originator of marriage, God Almighty, Creator of us all.

 

     In God's creative plan, male and female are complementary, both necessary for participation in the creative act, which is central to and one of the essential elements of marriage.

 

    Promotion of sterile, perverted sexual unions, as between same sex individuals, is contrary to God's plan, against the teachings of all major religions, is detrimental to society in many ways, and is an affront to married persons, especially all those who support your successful operation.

 

    I regret to inform you that our family, among many others, will no longer be entering your stores.
