Bullies, we face them at all ages. The Skippy story for Kids

As part of the justice for Skippy campaign I announced a boycott of all CPC/Bestfoods products effective 8-21-99.

This campaign's primary focus is to tell school aged children the real story about how the Skippy name was taken away from the Crosby Tibbetts family. Those children will in turn spread the word to their parents and teachers.

I wish to thank CPC/Bestfoods for inspiring this approach. The tactic was a direct result of their choosing August to launch their latest offensive to take the rest of the Crosby Tibbetts property.

The reason, in my view, that they chose August is that so many people are on vacation at that time of year. And it can be very difficult to contact the appropriate people.

PICTURE
CENSORED

A picture of Skippy® with two black eyes and the bully who gave them to him was here. The heading below the picture said:

©1924, 1999
"Why is Bestfoods bullying the little Skippy® once again?"

Image from Order 9-7-99, Schedule A

But in a desperate attempt to quell public discussion of this topic CPC/Bestfoods got the judge to sign an Order on 9-7-99 making Mrs. Tibbetts withdraw permission to use the picture. But they did include the image in a public document. Click here to see the picture that scares a company I believe is a bully, CPC/Bestfoods.

The downside of launching an attack at that time is that it is just in time to respond by spreading the word among the biggest consumers of peanut butter, school age children.

We are building the organization at this time. We need children and young adults to spread the word on children's internet forums.

We need high school children, young adults, and adults to post to adult forums and to write letters to the editor and oped pieces of about 1000 words for national publications.

The brand names effected are:

Argo, Best Foods, Golden Griddle, Hellmann's, Henri's, Karo, Kingsford's, Knorr, Mazola, Mueller's, Skippy, or WesternBovril, Brownberry (croutons), Stone-Buhr, Panni, Alsa, Iberia, and RitArnold, Boboli, Bouyea Fassetts, Brownberry (breads, stuffing), Entenmann's, Freihofer's, Old Country, Oroweat, Thomas'

For the record, I and the other activists who have brought this case to media's attention have no personal stake in the case except to see justice prevail.
