Boycott Bolthouse

Bolthouse.08_lowThis came to my attention via my own blogosphere...thanks SteveO...

Bakersfield carrot farmer William Bolthouse donated $100,000 to an initiative aiming to fight gay marriage — a measure that will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot along with the presidential race.

The initiative qualified for the ballot Monday, less than a month after the state Supreme Court overturned a ban on gay marriage.

June 17 marks the date when California counties will be permitted to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The National Organization for Marriage California donated $700,000 to the campaign. One of the organization's largest financial contributors includes Bolthouse, who declined to comment about his donation Tuesday.

The measure's proponents said the campaign to promote the initiative may exceed $30 million.

Supporters have spent about $1.8 million to collect signatures and publicize the initiative, according to campaign filings.

Other supporters include San Diego developer Terry Caster ($172,000); hotel developer Manchester Financial Group of San Diego ($125,000); Fieldstead and Co. of Irvine ($400,000) and Knights of Columbus Headquarters in Connecticut ($250,000).

I am now going to drink 100% less all natural carrot based juices from bolthouse. EW. Just as long as diet pepsi and rickards don't boycott gay marriage i'll be fine.

CJ - you never know but the real thing is that we deserve the same rights as anyone else and you need, without question, to support that.
