    However, liberals might not be completely happy, as Publix is not only cutting off political contributions to pro-gun candidate Putnam, but to all political causes. For example, Publix has given large sums of money to YWCA–USA, which is a member of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV). CSGV opposes “Stand Your Ground” laws and opposes concealed carry. YWCA–USA also supports same-sex marriage.

    YWCA used to be the acronym for Young Women’s Christian Association, but it dropped “Christian” from its name in 2011, after 156 years, because “it no longer stands for who we are.”
    In addition to supporting YWCA, Publix contributes to chapters of the United Way that fund Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest supporter of abortion. Publix also gives to the organization Susan G. Komen, which funds Planned Parenthood.

    The thread title appears to be a bit misleading.

    It's the way they want it to sound...the actuals are that Publix has cut off funding for all political candidates.

    If I ever see that where I shop maybe I'll do the ole "slippin jimmy" and sue the whole lot of them for public endangerment and whatever else My lawyers could dream up. Sue the individual who "tripped me on purpose" and the group for conspiracy. I'll claim I was terrorized and have nightmares and now suffer from PTSD and erectile dysfunction all because of these horrible goons.

    They better hope some poor soul with a full colostomy bag doesn't trip on them. That would be the end of their protesting days I'd bet. They would probably end up in some nut house sitting on the floor with their arms wrapped around their knees rocking back and forth for years muttering "The horror, the horror" over and over again.

    Similar to the situation with Chick Fil A when the gays called for a boycott or the same with Duck Dynasty
