I belong to Change.org. They had this at the website when I checked today:

http://www.change.org/actions/view/boycotting_nike_for_supplying_vick_products-and_word_is_rapidly_spreading

I would urge everyone to sign the petition and send the letters as well as complete the feedback for the Nike company. I found it very interesting that all of my emails are coming back as failed delivery. The 4 contacts listed must have been inundated with emails and have shut down their emails for now. That proves the message is getting through! Let’s help them get the 500 signatures so this will be personally delivered and Nike gets the message that the public will not stand for them even giving this monster their clothes and shoes or ANYTHING at all.

“any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent,”…
really? did they stop using Kangaroo skin for their shoes? maybe they never heard the horrors surrounding the slaughter of Roos and their babes.
A Huge Thank You to Joan, also, for raising such a fabulous daughter, she is a blessing to the world!

This is my reply to their reply:

While Nike may not have a contract with Michael Vick it appears that your firm has no problem conducting business with a man who was responsible for the torture and murder of dogs. The lack of a contract on your part does not provide an excuse from your firm making a poor choice in business associates.

I guess that seems like somewhat like great news that they didn’t actually sign him because I don’t think a lot of people would be wanting to buy his footwear or anything like that, at least I wouldn’t want to.

I can’t believe Nike would be so stupid. They would have to realize what a bad move it would be. Mothers are not going to dress their children in Nike clothes or wear them themselves. I agree with Nancy (10:58 reply) about “role model” and I won’t wear or buy Nike until I find out they dumped him and quit giving him products to advertise. My dog before Minnie was a red nosed female pit bull named Honey. She never had her tail docked or her ears cropped, she didn’t even know she was a dog. She wasn’t even a problem with other dogs and was afraid of cats since one scratched her when she was young. We had her for 12 years and I miss her very much. She was never a problem. So sweet and so good. It’s people like Michale Vick that give these wonderful dogs a bad name. He’s a scum-bag.

Got the exact same response, what a crock, why would you supply anything to Vick who cost your company millions?
I am going to continue to message Nike and send another round of letters to the Eagles sponsors.
I just saw Tastykake’s new packaging for its Butterscotch Krimpets, with the Eagles’ logo and the words “proud partner of the Philadelphia Eagles!” They have NOTHING to be proud about

Dear Joan, My congratulations on raising a daughter with the courage of her convictions who’s helping to keep this story alive, I hope the media presses the Eagles on their newly discovered dress code which I cannot imagine is legal

Joan, THANK YOU for raising a wonderful daughter, and for your beliefs in this matter. Awsome that the media is contacting her about this. This will let everyone who supports this monster, really know what this is all about. You are right, he is a murderer.

Hi,
I’m Kori’s mother and was very proud of her standing up for what is the right thing. She should be able to voice her opinion. There is no dress code at the stadium. We can’t possibly understand how anyone could stand behind Vick. He is a dog murderer!! The media has been contacting her and she was on ESPN radio yesterday. He doesn’t deserve a second chance. The dogs that he tortured never got a second chance!! Thanks for all the great support!!
