The following is a letter that I have composed to give to the pharmaceutical representatives ("drug salesmen") that call on me at my medical clinic.
The drug companies, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, and Pfizer are corporate members of the Council on Foreign Relations.



To Whom It May Concern:


It has come to my attention that _______ is a corporate member (i.e. sponsor) of the Council on Foreign Relations.
I am very disappointed that ___ has decided to help fund this organization which promotes governmental policies, curricula, and political candidates that have a relentlessly anti-American agenda. While the Council is indeed “nonpartisan”, they are not the innocuous and benevolent think tank that they purport to be in their mission statement. Council members, collectively and individually, consistently promote an internationalist agenda that is designed to establish one world government. The fact that in the process they must subvert the sovereignty of the United States of America does not seem to bother them at all. As a patriotic American, whose father risked his life defending the constitution during World War II, I do care. As the father of two children who are at risk of inheriting a world shaped by this CFR nightmare, I cannot in good conscience remain idle.
While I realize that there is little that I can do to fight or even impede this poisonous organization directly, I can at least do my best to stop supporting them.
To that end I am committed to ending my support of those corporations that support the CFR and will do my best to encourage my friends and colleagues to do the same.

As a physician this means that I will no longer be accepting samples from or conversing with representatives of _____. Whenever ethically possible, I will cease prescribing medications produced by ___.

While this may seem a trivial and futile response to some, it is the least that I can do as a patriotic American. And I hope that it will someday, in some small part, help to prompt ___ to rethink its endorsement and sponsorship of this reprehensible organization.

I realize that many of us are employed by these companies, but a cancer is a cancer no matter how deeply it has invaded.
And if we can use whatever influence we can to redirect their corporate resources we should at least try.

Or buy their stock. ;)

TPTB corps will most probably survive and actually thrive in the "crunch".

Well thats every major corporation in America. Doesn't leave much left if you are going to boycott all those products. If we were to boycott all those services, we couldn't use credit cards, cell phones, cars, buy oil products, wear shoes, buy guns, drink pop, take medications, etc. Good luck with your protest.

Point taken about drinking pop (what do you drink when both Coca Cola and Pepsi are out?) and some of the others but I did do a little thinking about the "take medications" part.

Interestingly, there are quite viable alternative medications for everything that these particular pharmaceutical companies manufacture.

By shear coincidence (?) they happen to be infamous for producing bad and/or ineffective drugs like Vioxx, Avandia, and Vytorin all of which have gotten nailed in the courts and in the press recently. I don't make prescribing decisions based on politics, but fortunately these particular sleaze bags are making it easy to boycott them. I guess if one of their "better" drugs is cheaper than the competition I could give the patient the chance to make an informed decision (including the fact that they would be supporting an enemy of the United States ;)).

Might be an educational opportunity.

Remind me why I'm supposed to hate them? The term, "relentlessly anti-American agenda" means absolutely nothing, given that different people have a different view of what "American" is supposed to mean.

But if I don't buy any of these products, I won't have a thing to buy. This would lead to saving money which would further cause me to be responsible as a man. That is too much change. I'm against "Change."
Seriously. Try to shrink the message to 3 sentences.

I agree with your post space. Nike slave labor way over priced crap shoes, its to easy to boycot this one. Credit cards am almost done with them another easy one. Google free email for just a bit longer but soon enough done with them. Coke and Pepsi, a bit of the harder ones for me, but diet soda with aspartame this should be easy for anyone that has read of the dangers of this one. Have slowly been weening myself off of many ounces of soda. Ford cars, LOL this definitely isnt hard. Toyota good car might be for some. Goldman sachs, never had enough to even consider. Pharmaceutical companies, once in 5 years do i do this one. Seriously folks it shouldnt be to hard to give these buisnesses less of your money when some that i had mentioned are way overpriced (Nike), crap product for years (Ford, i dont know about now as they settled this one for me in the 90s so never went back), and just down right evil and greedy (pharmaceuticals). The one good tried and true way to stop these companies is to stop buying their garbage or using their services and put them out of buisness. The government has figured that out against you, taxes and fines it is directly how they break you down, by putting you in tight spots.

America is a country. Being anti-American is supporting something that is detrimental to America or its independence. The CFR takes a globalist stance, ergo it's anti-American.
