Shop at Sears
Copied from PJ Tatler (because the info was so good I want everyone to see it.)
I received this email from a friend. Sears really does support the troops, and we’re really going to support Sears. I hope you do too.
Sears – Christmas shopping this year.
I know I needed this reminder, since Sears isn’t always my first choice.
It’s amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and Sears hasn’t withdrawn from their commitment. Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?
What commitment you say?
How does Sears treat its employees who are serving in our military?
By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being in active duty.
Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all employees who are serving.
I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears at least once.
Be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the
company gets the positive reinforcement & feedback it well deserves.
Pass it on.
I decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:
I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it is, the Internet may have just become one very good source of advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it’s cheaper at that store.
This is their answer to my e-mail:
Dear Customer:
Thank you for contacting Sears. The information is factual. We
appreciate your positive feedback.
Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our men and women can make. This is the “least” we can do for them. We are happy to do our part to lessen the burden they bear at this time.

No doubt there are other firms that are doing the same, and I’d like to hear about them.

Should the Rich ...
Should the Rich
1. Pay more taxes so we can increase government spending (or not cut)
2. Hire some workers for their company so unemployment is reduced
3. Go for a weekend getaway where taxi drivers, waitresses, store owners, retail sales workers and bartenders can earn some of their money
4. Remodel their house so that carpenters, painters, landscapers and electricians can earn some of their money
5. Send a big check to their grandchildren who will spend it all at the mall and keep many young retail workers employed
6. Be the lead sponsor for a Feed the Hungry fundraiser

Small Business Can Save The American Dream
Very interesting article on farms vs. factories, urban vs. rural and their place in American history. Read it!
The twentieth century incarnation of the American Dream wasn’t just a set of ideas about home ownership. It was a way of life: domestic bliss in the burbs. But the differences between the Suburban Dream and the older American Dream based on the single family farm tell us a lot about the problems Americans face now — and help us begin to think constructively about where we need to go next.

Political Reputation Management Training
Free Webinar on Political Reputation Management hosted by Get on the Map Local Search Marketing.
Reputation Management Horror Stories
First result in youtube for congressman's name
[name] supports torture
Second result in Google for candidate's name
[name] opposes ban on cockfighting
Third result in Google images for political consultant's name
[consultant's boss name] taught me how to be a bad cop
It took me less than 5 minutes to find these examples - clearly no one wants to start the game on defense, but all of these men have to because they haven't paid attention to their online reputation.
