Subway tells home schoolers: We will not allow you to participate in our contest. Subway discriminates against home schoolers. May 27, 2008 Dear Trisha, Subway, the sandwich restaurant, wants to hear your child's story - unless he or she is home schooled. The national chain's "Every Sandwich Tells a Story Contest" offers prizes and a chance to be published on the Subway Web site and in Scholastic's "Parent & Child" magazine but specifically excludes home schoolers. Subway's website states: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. Contest is open only to legal residents of the Untied (sic) States who are currently over the age of 18 and have children who attend elementary, private or parochial schools that serve grades PreK-6. No home schools will be accepted. Subway will probably say they excluded home schools because of the main prize ($5,000 worth of athletic equipment to the winning child's school). But Subway could have given it to a local park, church or school of the winning home schooler's choice. Subway's Web site promotion not only misspells "Untied (sic) States," but offers the grand prize winner a "Scholastic Gift Bastket (sic) for your home." Take Action! 1. Send an e-mail to Subway President Frederick A. DeLuca. Tell him you will not eat with them anymore until and unless they allow home schoolers to participate. 2. Contact your local Subway store and give the manager the same message. 3. Please forward this to your friends and family, especially home schoolers. Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible contribution? Sincerely, Don Donald E.

Permanent International Boycott of Thailand Until restitution is made with the Akha people Effective June 29, 2005 Yesterday we finally got the Thai Mission to the UN to speak about the Akha case. They condemned the case as untrue. The statement is on the website http://www.akha.org We have offered our rebuttal, thanking the Thai Delegation but informing them that the human rights case filings stand and bear out the facts, posted on our website under UN 1503 filings. We are now instituting an International Boycott of Thailand, all goods and services and visits to the country. We are joined in this boycott by our friends from Europe and Latin America. Please join and publicize this boycott and post it to your web sites. Please inform us of any actions you are able to take. Next we will be going to Geneva to follow up on cases at the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. We will also be sending letters in protest of the Thai government's policies to Country Missions to the UN in both New York and Geneva. In Solidarity with the Akha people, Matthew McDaniel Article: There is now a Permanent International Boycott of Thailand for Gross Human Rights Violations against the Akha people.
