Despite the story which came out two months ago about how Coborn's Delivers is decidedly NOT progressive (see story below, from MPR in September), I just got an email message from AM 950 station manager and owner Janet Robert titled, "Holiday Gift Buying Guide from Progressive Businesses." On that list ... you guessed it, Coborn's Delivers.
It's one thing to take their money for advertising, but let's not completely sell out your integrity until you absolutely have to. The other advertisers on that list should be concerned.
Great work, AM 950. Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Tom Hartmann ... I am sure they would be proud.
MPR story from 9/16/09:
"Coborn's president urges employees to oppose health care bill
St. Cloud, Minn. — The president of Coborn's, a St. Cloud-based grocery chain, is urging his employees to oppose health care reform legislation.
In an internal memo (pdf), Coborn's president and CEO Chris Coborn asks employees to e-mail or write letters to legislators opposing two pieces of legislation. He said the proposed health care reform bill and a union organizing measure are serious threats to the future of the company."
