Subject: American Family Assocation Boycotts of Levi Strauss and Toyota AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION Dr. Donald E. Wildmon, President P.O. Drawer 2440 * 107 Parkgate * Tupelo, Mississippi 38803 Dear AFA Friend, Great news! We won! The federal judge threw out the suit brought against your AFA by People for the American Way and the American Civil Liberties Union. However, some of these same parties have filed a similar suit in federal court in Mississippi. The ACLU and People for the American Way decided not to get involved in this lawsuit. Keep this new suit in your prayers. Our AFA Law Center attorneys feel like we will win this one, also. I will keep you informed. But right now, I need your help again! Please take the following actions today: (1) Mail the enclosed postcards to Levi Strauss, to Toyota and to your local Toyota dealer. (You can find the address for your local Toyota dealer in the phone book.) (2) Call Levi Strauss (1-800-872-5384) and Toyota (1-800-331-4331) and politely tell them you are boycotting them. Also, call the manager of your local Toyota dealership and tell him you are boycotting Toyota. Here's why. Levi Strauss, which makes Levi's clothing (including jeans) and Dockers clothing, are punishing the Boy Scouts of America because the Boy Scouts will not bow down to homosexual activists' demands to use homosexuals as scoutmasters in their local Boy Scout troops. And Toyota has begin an advertising campaign in support of the homosexual lifestyle. Here are the particulars. Levi Strauss supported the radical homosexuals who demanded that Levi Strauss stop giving the Boy Scouts of America financial support because the Boy Scouts would not accept homosexuals as scoutmasters. For the past five years Levi Strauss gave between $40,000 and $80,000 a year to the Boy Scouts. But now Levi Strauss has sided with the radical homosexuals and withdrawn its support. In other words,...Levi Strauss feels it is better business to support the demands of radical homosexuals than the Boy Scouts of America. And Levi Strauss did this knowing the Boy Scouts have been sued because a homosexual scoutmaster molested some young scouts. Molestation of young scouts by homosexual scoutmasters is a reality. Here is only one example. On March 21 the Associated Press carried this article: Ex-scout leader pleads guilty to rape of 2 boys Nashville (AP) -- A former Boy Scout leader pleaded guilty to raping two members of his troop and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Ronald W. Rice pleaded guilty in Williamson County Circuit Court to two counts of aggravated rape involving a 13-year-old boy and a former troop member who is now 21. Rice must serve at least nine years before he is eligible for parole. Rice was arrested march 18 after a 13-year-old boy told police Rice had been paying him for sexual favors over the last year. Police searched a building behind Rice's house and found about 600 photographic negatives of nude children in sexual acts with Rice, investigators said. Write Chrm. Robert D. Haas. Tell him you won't buy Levi clothing, including jeans, or Dockers clothing until Levi Strauss restores its funding to the Boy Scouts and ends its support of the radical homosexual agenda. Also, give Levi Strauss a call. Politely register your complaint. The toll-free customer service number is 1-800-872-5384. Also ask stores where you do business to stop selling Levi and Dockers clothing. Toyota has also decided to help promote the homosexual lifestyle. Not only was Toyota the leading sponsor of pro-homosexual TV programs during the May 1 - July 31, 1991 monitoring period,...but Toyota decided to recognize and endorse the homosexual lifestyle, and to promote homosexuals as "family" through their advertising. Toyota ran ads in Australia which read: "For some people, a family car is one that has room for a tribe. When we talk to you about a family car, we mean a car that is big enough for a couple and their friends to stretch out in comfort." The "family" in the photo is composed of two men. The ad was run in a homosexual publication. Toyota has decided it will be good for their business to push the homosexual lifestyle. If Toyota doesn't get the message, they no doubt will begin promoting the homosexuals as "family" in their advertising in America also. Sign and mail the enclosed postcard to Mr. Y. Togo, president of Toyota. And make your phone call, too. Toyota's toll-free customer service number is 1-800-331-4331. Also, write or call your local Toyota dealer and tell him that you will not purchase another Toyota until Toyota stops advertising in homosexual publications and sponsoring pro-homosexual television programs. Levi Strauss and Toyota can help push the radical homosexual agenda if they wish. After all, it is their money. But we can also refuse to buy Levi clothing (including jeans) and Dockers clothing and Toyota automobiles as long as they continue to push the homosexual agenda. It is our money! If you want Levi Strauss and Toyota to hear you, speak with your money. Thank you for all your support over the past several months. Your words of encouragement help sustain me. Your prayers, too, are very much appreciated. And so are your financial contributions. I know the economy has been down for some time now. Your sacrifices in support of our work are uplifting. If you can help us with a contribution at this time, I will greatly appreciate it. If not, I understand. But please mail the cards and make the phone calls today! I'm really counting on you to do that. Let me remind you how important it is that you participate in our projects. Without your participation, your AFA could not be effective. If possible, write a personal letter to Levi Strauss and Toyota. If you can't do that, put the card in an envelope and address it. And if you can't do that, then please mail the card. And be sure to call Levi Strauss, Toyota and your local Toyota dealer. Thanks for everything you do. God bless you. Sincerely, Donald E. Wildmon President P.S. I am counting on you to mail the cards and make the calls! Let me know you did so by returning the enclosed response form. Thanks again. [Note: He did not mention anything about his heart attack in this letter. I wonder if he even actually wrote the letter himself. Even Focus on the Family notified all of their members when James Dobson had a heart attack two years ago. Why would Wildmon not even ask for his members prayers for his recovery? How very strange.]
