Leggo those Eggo's! (Kellogg Boycott)

Dear Friends,

It's time to "leggo" those Eggo's... put the Keebler elves back on the shelves... say nay to Special K... and give Froot Loops the boot!!!

Marijuana activists nationwide today began a coordinated boycott of all Kellogg Co. products, after the cereal and snack maker chose to drop their sponsorship of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps over a photo that was made public last week, apparently showing the 8-time gold medal winner partaking of the herb at a party. (For more on the backstory, visit http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/2009/02/06/kellogg-drops-phelps-after-photos/
or just Google "Kellogg drops Phelps".)

Apparently, Kellogg believes it's okay to promote high-sugar, high-preservative products to kids--but not okay to let those same kids know that the "stoner as slacker" Drug War fallacy is just that--a LIE. And one that is swiftly crumbling.

Kellogg may not be counting on the fact that more U.S. citizens have smoked marijuana--and lived to tell about it--than not. They may not understand what most clear-minded individuals, pot enthusiasts or not, DO understand--that this herb is far safer than alcohol, and that censuring users means censuring hundreds of thousands of normal, active, healthy, productive citizens. Kellogg DOES count on their bottom line, however, and that means we can show our displeasure in a very meaningful way: BOYCOTT ALL KELLOGG PRODUCTS. Here's how:

1. Let Kellogg know you will no longer purchase ANY of their products, and make it clear that this is entirely because of how they chose to handle the Phelps case. Here's how to contact them:
