Friday, November 13, 2009 | A Venting story
they had in the desmoines register are newspaper. that the target store won't let veterns organistion raise money outside their store.  this includes the march of dimes and salvation army. the owner of the target store i a frenchman. that has an axe to grind with us. we had a big discussion at are ptsd group we were all angry. he says we should go in to target ask for the manager and tell him that we will never buy anything their again. one of the members did it allready. he was given a copy of the saying that these organistiions can't raise money outside of their store. i have started a goup boycott target ever one you are veterns or a reletive of a vetern i hope would join this group. if you like the march of dimes or the salvation army. people if in a different country that loves american would join are boycott. what target is doing makes me really mad. i have brought lots of things in that store i really like that store. i just can't shop their anymore knowing that they hate all of these organistions which would be a slap to me in the face as i am a vetern. i wrote in red ink to say how piss of i am  knowing the store that i did about 95 percent of my shoping. i don't like were are walmart store is because in windsore height the speed limit is 25 miles per hour, i have got two  speeding tickets their so i will make that my main store to shop in. the target store will lose a really good customer. i will tell my friends and realatives about this out rage. i even have told you on ds. hope that we get a lot of members in this group. i hope this make others angry are money is going to franch a foreign country. guss thats anough venting today,

    I don't blame you, this makes me REALLY mad, and I'm not a war veteran.

    Journaling, especially in red, is a very healthy way to vent your anger.
    Good for you for defending yourself and those that you believe in.
    I have heard about this store before.
    I forget it was a French owned business.
    It is hard to leave a store that you like, but it does feel good to be true to yourself.

    I am a little late in reading your journal. So sorry. I hope you enjoyed your movies and that you got a good response to your group that you started. I would join but I unfortunately I am not a fan of these kind of movies. I prefer foreign films and drama. Wishing you all the best.
