Miller Brewing comments are in direct conflict with their actions and we are making a stand by boycotting their products.
Miller’s statement (Sept 1, 2006):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”We are not sponsoring this march and we did not authorize the use of our trademarks in association with this event. We do support the reform of immigration law, but we do not support illegal immigration.”

Acting Director of Corporate Media Relations, Miller Brewing

Why this immigrant rights march is brought to you by Miller
By Oscar Avila
Chicago Tribune staff reporter
Published September 1, 2006
Marchers had to duck into fast-food restaurants for water when they first took to Chicago's streets in support of illegal immigrants five months ago. At the next two marches, family-owned grocery stores offered free bottled water from trucks emblazoned with their names.
This time, as demonstrators march from Chinatown to House Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) Batavia office this weekend, they will have Miller Brewing Co., as a sponsor. The brewer has paid more than $30,000 for a planning convention, materials and newspaper ads publicizing the event.

Patriots:
I need your help. The illegal supporters are marching in Chicago all weekend, and will arrive at Speaker Hastert's office in Batavia on Labor Day. That is Monday, Sept 4, 2006. They are being underwritten as usual, by A.C.O.R.N. among others, as well as Miller Brewing Co. There is an article in The Chicago Tribune, which tells the whole ugly story.
We need to fax him and tell him that we want him to stand strong in the face of tremendous pressure from the illegal open border supporters.
They want to pressure him, as the Speaker of the House, to pressure Congress to fold on H.R. 4437. Speaker Hastert is in charge of selecting the committee members who will decide on the final bill. He is the critical element here.
I will also be telling him personally about a web site that I set up to collect names of those who commit to boycotting Miller Brewing products.
Please fax Speaker Dennis Hastert at the following number: 281-749-8212.
I contacted Miller Brewing Co., on Friday, and the media representative basically said that they do not support the HR 4437, but did support --Comprehensive Immigration Reform.-- We know that means amnesty.
They need all the beer drinkers they can get, any way they can get them, I suppose.
Let's throw our support behind Speaker Hastert, and the House of Representatives.

We will establish a form in the next day or two that will enable you to fax and submit stand against illegal immigration.
Dear Edward,
Thank you for signing our petition and agreeing to receive our e-mail alerts.
We have great news to report! The Dow Jones Newswires are reporting that Miller's stock prices are down and their product sales in the US are collapsing! Although our boycott has not been attributed as one of the causes for this, we have sent the following press release to the nation describing our role. Our historic boycott is having an impact on Miller Brewing companies sales and stock!
Copy of Press Release (Found on www.MillerBoycott.com) http://www.millerboycott.com/announce/index.asp#phase2
We are now asking for your continued support on two very important efforts to take our boycott of Miller Brewing Company to the next level.
Please join us as we launch Phase 2 by returning to the website at www.MillerBoycott.com. We need you to get copies of our fliers and stickers, found on the website, to distribute them as much as possible in all 50 states.
We also need you to use our e-mail template (found in action item 7 on the boycott site) to send to all of your e-mail contacts. The e-mail templates encourage others to visit the site, join the boycott, spread the word, and sign the petition.
Phase 3 will be announced soon as we line up protests outside of Miller production facilities and offices all across America in mid November!
We also need your help via contributions. As of today, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) has spent over $2,500 to launch and promote our Miller boycott operations. FIRE Coalition has spent over $500.
The results so far have been spectacular but we must recoup some of our expenses and decide what we can afford to further market our boycott to the nation.
If you are pleased with our effort and support our goals, please take a few minutes to contribute. We are having an impact, but our future success depends on your support.
You can contribute to our efforts via ALIPAC (www.alipac.us) at this link http://www.alipac.us/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=9
You can contribute to our efforts via FIRE Coalition (www.FIREcoalition.com) at this link. http://www.firecoalition.com/donate.asp
Please take the time to visit and support the over 100 organizations currently supporting this boycott via this link.

Together we are having an impact and Miller Brewing should understand that we are just getting started.
Thank you for receiving our e-mail alerts and thank you for your continued support! If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, we want to hear them; please send them to info@millerboycott.com.
