BOYCOTT THE FRENCH - ITS SURPRISING WHAT THEY OWN !!!
Please read the following NewsMax campaign letter and
forward it to as many friends as possible. As you know, France has become a
thorn in the side of America and has done everything in its power to stall the
War on Terror. French President Chirac is actively lobbying other nations to
defy America, hence, placing both our civilians and, most disturbingly, our
troops in harm's way.
Please read the list of French companies and boycott
all their products and services. It was reported on Fox News that France
exports as much as $20-30 billion in products to America. Far more than we
export to France. A boycott against French goods would have a chilling effect
on an already troubled French economy (growing at less than 1% a year) by
threatening to unleash an economic recession in France., We, the American
public, will be sending a powerful message to that nation, and any other that
tries to derail our national security. Thank you for your time...Greg Quinn
Millions of Americans are joining the Boycott France
campaign led by NewsMax.com
Please forward this e-mail to as many friends and family
as possible.
If everyone who gets this list from NewsMax would send
it to just two friends, within 10 days, more than 100 million people will be
contacted! NewsMax.com is leading the Boycott France campaign because American
lives and security is at stake. France has every right to disagree with
America, but France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward
America.
French President Chirac warned East European nations
that if they side with America, France will oppose their membership in the
European Union. This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times
that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq -- and has been helping Iraq
build long range missiles. These same missiles may soon be used against
American soldiers.
Just as France is exercising its right to disagree,
Americans can exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid helping companies
and countries that do not stand with America.
