Sochi Winter Games: HOLD SPONSORS ACCOUNTABLE

It is unbelievable that the International Olympic Committee is moving forward with these Olympic games in Russia.
With all the reports of abuse, rape and death related to the cleansing of the population of the LGBTQ community.
Sponsors like McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Proter and Gamble and Panasonic are funding the modern day holocaust that we have named the HOMOCAUST.
This is a case of history repeating itself.  Only this is on a larger venue.  The whole world is aware of what is going on and Russia is getting away with this.
This has outraged the world and any civilized nation.
Obviously, GE has spoken up but the rest of the sponsors have hid behind "supporting diversity" statements or remained silent.  It is clear at this point that the only solution would be to cancel the games, which is not realistic.
Plenty of people all over the world are on the same page as StonewallAGAIN on pulling the games from Russia.  They clearly broke the agreement with the IOC charter number four which clearly states not to discriminate.
Stephen Fry has made the same comparison as StonewallAGAIN that this Olympic Games is hauntingly reminiscent of the 1936 Nazi Games where Hitler showcased his Third Reich.
LGBTQ and supportive communities should NOT be feeling helpless in this.  We can help by boycotting the vendors that directly sponsor these homophobic olympics.
McDonald's and Coca-Cola should feel the heat from their decision NOT to influence the laws inception in the first place.  They had plenty of power to jump in and stop this before this actually came to a vote in the parliment.  They sat on their hands.
It is our responsibility to say that the corporate greed over human rights is complete bullshit.  LGBTQ and supportive community can say NO to purchasing their products and services.
Holding them accountable for EVERY INCIDENT because they are inviting and marketing for people around the globe to participate in this hate crime.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO BE PUTIN'S HOMOPHOBIC SHOWCASE, LIKE HITLER DID AGAINST OUR COMMUNITY NOT SO LONG AGO.

Boycott Sochi Sponsors: Life without McDonald's and Coke

You know, it's been hard for me to NOT eat at McDonald's and continuously stream Coke Zero through my digestive tract.  I have been on the road for the past 2 months and what comes as automatic, like a reflex, I had to adapt.

I refuse to support the sponsors of the Sochi Russia homophobic olympic games in 2014.  Russian legislature has imposed genocide on it's LGBTQ citizens.  Violence on LGBTQ reigns terror over that community that has been erased through a legal process.  Clearly a human rights violation.

On our website, you can see the video of what happened during the Olympics in Nazi Germany and how it is very similar in setting to today.  The International Olympic Committee is turning a blind eye to their own charter to move forward with these games in the hateful country.  Russia no longer qualifies to host these games under the charter.

Olympic sponsors: McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Procter and Gamble, VISA are a few who are going along with the ridiculous, money driven IOC.  Their open acknowledgement of the IOC's decision to comply with and continue on this disastrous course, is CONDONING the same "gay propaganda" laws are acceptable to their corporate charter.

While most of these sponsors are stating their corporate accolade on LGBTQ support about equality and diversity, it is all lip service.  You are a hypocrite when you say one thing and do something completely different to pad your pocket like the IOC.

Any one who lives on the road knows that McDonald's is a pretty safe place to avoid food poisoning.  They have healthy food despite their bad reputation for fat poisoning everyone.  They have salads, oatmeal and I was LOVIN' the egg white products they just started to offer.  Too bad for them that I have found alternatives to stopping by for a berry smoothie on my 3 hour drive to Madison.  It is called a gas station.  I now stop for Kashi bars and smoothies readily available.

Have I lost weight?  No.  I am still maintaining my slim, trim figure (pipe dream) finding may new places to eat.  Meeting new people and discovering new foods in the adventure.  Overall, positive experience dumping homophobic sponsor, McDonalds!

Next homocaust supporter, Coca-Cola.  Coke Zero was like water to me on the road.  I would grab two or three on long drives.  Water and tea are my preferred choices now.  Mountain Dew is now pretty much only when I need the caffeine jolt.  Soda intake has dropped significantly.

One note of caution.  Look at the label and see who bottled this stuff.  I got burned a couple times.  Here are some major Coca Cola Products in USA: Dasani water, Fanta, Powerade, Sprite, Flavored Cokes such as Cherry, Vanilla and many more, Barq’s Root Beer, Fresca, Mr. Pibb, Nestea, Minute Maid, Bacardi Mixers Fruitopia, TaB, Tahiti Treat, Mello Yello, Splice, & Mexican Coke.  Also Dasani water and Vitamin Water are products of this sponsor of Russian bloodshed.

Another solution is to by a friendly bottled water and buy flavoring.  Target and some truck stops have Mio flavors in a variety of flavors.  I'm sure overall, my body is appreciating the soda reduction.

Samsung is probably the biggest vendor that we have walked away from in our household.  TV's, cellphones and tablets have all been on our purchase list.  We won't even look at their products.  My partner had his Galaxy 4 for less than 48 hours and took it back in support of the boycott.  HTC makes great phones for Android.  Apple is still LGBT friendly.

Procter and Gamble can bite the big one too.  We have switched from Tide to Caldrea.  A bit more expensive and harder to find, but the quality is much better.  Both on clothes and on fabric.  Scent free options are All.  Never had an issue with this product.

Buyer beware.  Read the label, not only for the ingredients but who is manufacturing these things.  You don't want your money supporting hate groups or companies that are filtering your money to LGBTQ hate crimes like in Russia.

YOU DO HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD>>>>>IT STARTS WITH YOUR WALLET AND WHAT YOU PURCHASE!!!  Look at Barilla if you want to see how you can impact and devastate a company.

Barilla and homophobic Russian Olympics

Everyone should look REALLY hard at the response the worldwide boycott has had on pasta giant Barilla. Guido Barilla near tears apologizing for his homophobic words.  "If gays don't like it, they can eat another pasta.". Not very good marketing strategy.
This whole incident should be labelled 'The Barilla Syndrome'.
This is what the sponsors of the Sochi Russia winter Olympics should be feeling.
When the Olympic sponsors are crying because they are boycotted, then and only then will the International Olympic Committee move these games.
McDonalds released today their new healthier menu.  Boycott it!  Coca Cola, Boycott it!  Samsung is releasing a new watch computer gizmo.  Boycott it!
Let them know any LGBTQ suffrage means we all suffer.
The IOC shows their hypocritical colors in turning a blind eye to their own charter.  Specifically section about nondiscrimination.
The end result is one incident, will ricochet around the world like an Italian homophobe blathering his hateful words.
However, chances are, a Russian incident will likely include bloodshed.  Olympic committee striping athletes medals because they are expressing who they are as people will be turned into a "political" statement.

Who does the Olympic committee think they are fooling at this point?  Let's face it, this is about cash and not Olympic spirit.
If it has Olympic rings on it stay away.  It doesn't look any better for the sponsors.
Does McDonald's want to end up with Coca Cola in Barilla-land right now?  We need to push on these Olympic sponsors in the same manner that everyone did with Barilla.
Everyday that a LGBTQ person has to remain silent because of legislation, is another day that the whole world suffers.

Olympic Sponsors of the Second Holocaust

Corporations are in damage control mode right now.  Many of these sponsors have, in the past had a great or excellent reputation for supporting LGBT and equality.  Now with millions about to be slung into a promotional nightmare, these companies are being pressured to do the right thing.

The holocaust began with rounding up the Jews, the homosexuals, the political dissidents and jailing them because they were being who they are.  Others who escaped, where pretending to be what they were not in order to just survive.

Sound hauntingly familiar?  LGBT people are being told that they cannot be whom they are.  They need to hide it.  Any public display of being gay or affectionate to the same sex, results in being jailed.

How much longer do we wait until the "ethnic cleansing" begins?  What method will they use to dispose of all this carnage?

Genocide has already begun.  The total eradication of a race of people because they are who the are.  Through legislation, the LGBT community no longer exists in Russia.  This is legislative induced GENOCIDE.

These sponsors have an obligation to HUMANITY to pressure the International Olympic Committee to do the right thing.  We cannot let these games move forward in Sochi.  They must find a new location that will allow everyone attending the games to be who they are.  If Russia chooses not to participate, that is their loss.  If they do compete, then they will see that people are people.  Discrimination works both ways.  When you seek to empower yourself through the oppression of a minority, eventually humanity will prevail.

The vendors that support these games should worry greatly about the loyal customers they have now.  They will buy other products.  Everyone of these supporter of homophobic games has a comparable competition that is about to get a lot more wealthier if these games proceed in Russia.

Word to the wise.  It is always better to walk away from a bad situation and lose money invested, than to lose your entire loyal customer base to save what you invested.  You will more likely NEVER regain the trust of those you have deserted.

Try as you might by using key words like "diversity".  We are not buying it at this point.  Tolerance is NOT diversity!!!  ACTIONS speak louder than the words you are using.

MOVE THE GAMES NOW!
