Support Chick Fil-A
Mike Huckabee
I have been incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick fil-A company because the CEO, Dan Cathy, made comments recently in which he affirmed his view that the Biblical view of marriage should be upheld. The Cathy family, led by Chick fil-A founder Truett Cathy, are a wonderful Christian family who are committed to operating the company with Biblical principles and whose story is the true American success story. Starting at age 46 Truett Cathy built Chick fil-A into a $4 billion a year enterprise with over 1600 stores. At 91, he is still active in the company, but his son Dan runs it day to day as CEO.It's a great American story that is being smeared by vicious hate speech and intolerant bigotry from the left.
The Chick fil-A company refuses to open on Sundays so that their employees can go to church if they wish. Despite the pressure from malls, airports, and the business world to open on Sundays, they still don't. They treat customers and employees with respect and dignity.
I ask you to join me in speaking out on Wednesday, August 1 "Chick fil-A Appreciation Day.” No one is being asked to make signs, speeches, or openly demonstrate. The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick fil-A on Wednesday, August 1. Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we're considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant. This effort is not being launched by the Chick fil-A company and no one from the company or family is involved in proposing or promoting it.
There's no need for anyone to be angry or engage in a verbal battle. Simply affirm appreciation for a company run by Christian principles by showing up on Wednesday, August 1 or by participating online – tweeting your support or sending a message on Facebook.

I believe the people have spoken for the continual of traditional marriage, protection of free speech, and religious freedom on 08/01/12. I believe Emmanuel God with us is with Dan Cathy/Chick-Fil-A and not with Mayor Rahm Emanual.
Thank you Mr. Huckabee for your standfastness of your Faith and love for your country. -

Dear Governor Huckabee,
Re: Chick-fil-A
Fox News videotaped me on August 1, 2012 in Northridge, California.
You can see me on Fox News on August 3, 2012 at 10:00am . Jon Scott is interviewing Judith Miller ~ I'm the blond, wearing a black top and a red short sweater (split screen with Ms. Miller).
The reason I'm mentioning this to you, is because my family and I are registered (life-long) Democrats. Fox news should be the first to notify it's viewers that millions of Democrats are supporting Romney and watch Fox News! You can see me and my family (on youtube) introducing ourselves at one of our 4 Hillary rallies: Studio City Loves Hillary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7G7TSWkvGU
I think it could be a great visual to take a clip from this youtube of me and then show me in front of Chick-fil-A on "Appreciation Day."I'm available to be interviewed and you can call our home number at any hour (818) 509-1901.
We hadn't heard of Chick-fil-A until you mentioned it on your show for which we thank you. We went there for breakfast on the 1st, lunch on the 2nd, and dinner on the 3rd (we drove an hour round trip each day). We met the nicest people and enjoyed the best service ever!
Thank you again for all that you are doing for our country,
Destiny (Borden) Nyznik

Dear Mike,
I just wanted to tell you that Adam Smith's Youtube video inspired me to go to the nearest Chick fil-A (in Fort Collins, CO) and purchase $10 gift cards for each and every employee in the restaurant. It was lots of fun, and it's my way of giving the finger to those nasty leftist haters.
