Hershey Bar boycott '07

[beachguy in thongs]

(from Marc Emery)


200,000 MYSPACERS RECEIVE HERSHEY BOYCOTT NOTICE IN 16 HOURS


This is the most widely disseminated bulletin I have ever released. Thank you to everyone for reposting to your groups. I realize for many that it will be difficult sacrificing a favorite candy or chocolate but consider purchasing a competitor's brand. One of the powers of boycott is many who participate permanently change their eating habits in favor of a competing brand. If 100,000 stoners refuse to buy even one Hershey bar and buy a competing brand, just once, thats $100,000 in sales lost by Hershey to their competitors. If you boycott the entire range of Hershey products, and call them or write them (or both!), over a period of time Hershey will lose far more than $100,000. Hershey's lawyer fees in this miserable legal action against medical cannabis pioneer Affolter will cost them over $100,000 and Kenneth Affolter surely has no money left for Hershey to gain in any regard.

This is what I wrote to the Hershey Chocolate Company at their website:

Sirs & Madams,

Our magazine is organizing a boycott of your extensive line of products because of a $100,000 lawsuit against KENNETH AFFOLTER by HERSHEY in regard to his marijuana chocolates. Since Mr. Affolter was unjustly sentenced to 5 years in jail for the cannabis chocolates, one might think that your corporate interests in the protection of your brand names, which Mr. Affolter used in mocking regard to his products, was upheld. However, you are pursuing this man in what our magazine regards as cruel and unnecessary.

Until Hershey Chocolate stops this lawsuit, our magazine is advocating on myspace, youtube, and in our magazine, Cannabis Culture, a boycott of Hershey products.

I would be delighted to hear from you and any discussion which drops this lawsuit. I think it is safe to say that Hershey Chocolate is currently the choice of millions of potheads across North America. You enrage them with this lawsuit. They are consumers you should not consider lightly.

Sincerely,

Marc Emery

MYSPACE STONERS: Please take note and avoid the following Hershey products in the marketplace.

If would be good if you sent an email at their website (see above) to Hershey stating you will not buy any of the following products until they withdraw the claim against KENNETH AFFOLTER.

Or call them at:
Hershey Chocolate's Toll free number:
1-800-468-1714
Monday â?? Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET

I have commissioned an article on KENNETH AFFOLTER for the July-August Cannabis Culture Magazine, his medical marijuana chocolate project was amazing in size, scope, ambition and successful ...until the DEA raid ruined the beautiful project.

Here is the link to the article whereby Hershey Chocolate said it was suing Kenneth Affolter for $100,000 for trademark violation

We will expand the boycott into the printed magazine if by the end of June the lawsuit against KENNETH AFFOLTER is not withdrawn.
