Dear John, It was just last week that we encouraged pro-family advocates, like yourself, to lunge into action to support Chick-fil-a after their first and only restaurant in the United Kingdom was about to close. It seemed like their international business model was under threat stemming from a string of protests made by LGBTQ activists. Now we are receiving word that Chick-fil-A made the decision to cave to the demands of these extreme leftists, as the company announced it would no longer donate to several Bible-believing Christian organizations. An insider familiar with the tactics of LGBTQ activists said: "Chick-fil-A was frightened into making this decision because of threats made to their growing international business model by radicals." Chick-fil-A built their business from the support of the faith-based community. They need to hear from us. Please sign this petition to Chick-fil-A urging them not to give in to the violent pressures of LGBTQ activists, but to stay true to their values. For decades Chick-Fil-A has faced incredible cultural persecution for holding Christians values. They have been picketed, protested, slandered, and even vandalized by LGBTQ activists. Chick-fil-A’s dreams of expanding into the international market took a hit after the management of the Oracle Centre Reading mall in the United Kingdom refused to renew Chick-fil-A’s lease. This decision has come about purely because of protests from LGBTQ activists who disagree with the Christian values of Chick-fil-A’s parent company in the United States and their corresponding decisions about corporate giving. After quickly mobilizing a petition to support Chick-fil-A, they did the unthinkable by caving. What we are seeing here is one of our own being taken down by the other side. That’s why it is so important to stand up for Chick-Fil-A now and exhort them not to give in to the culture! Please sign this petition to Chick-fil-A urging them not to give in to the violent pressures of the LGBTQ lobby, but to stay true to their values. To be clear, our desire is to encourage Chick-fil-A. Their conduct, kindness, and professionalism cannot be matched. The charitable foundation set up by Chick-Fil-A does extremely worthwhile work to help with economic mobility of young people by focusing on homeless and poverty, education and community revitalization, yet because they have no political or social agenda and do not celebrate LGBTQ ideology, activists have branded them hateful and wish to shut Chick-fil-A down. Please help encourage this business to stay true to who they are! Tell Chick-fil-A not to cave to the culture! Thank you, Gregory Mertz and the entire CitizenGO team P.S. Over 43,000 pro-family advocates signed our petition supporting Chick-fil-A after LGBTQ activists branded them hateful and tried to shut down Chick-fil-A's first and only United Kingdon restaurant.
Chick-fil-A's response to this support was to announce it would no longer donate to several organizations that hold to the Christian view of marriage. This is a tragedy. For years and years, Chick-fil-A has stood alone in corporate America as a true Christian business that affirms Christian values. They need to hear from you. Please help encourage Chick-fil-A to stay true to who they are and not to cave to the culture!
