I like BJ's, I like it alot.
Alright, I just read the reason on that website that Costco is supposedly anti 2nd Amendment. It is solely because they will not allow members, employees, etc. to bring guns into the warehouses, and this is a world wide policy. Yeah, I can understand the policy. Bank of American, who I actually do not like, also had an anti-2nd amendment rating for the same reason. Honestly, I don't want every client of mine seeing me with a gun strapped to their side either. I guess I am anti-2nd Amendment too then. Would have never guessed that to be the case. Hard to believe that bars and churches are anti-2nd Amendment too.
Now, in my book if a business is donating to the Brady Campaign or taking a straight out anti-2nd Amendment approach like Bloomberg, then that is a different story as far as I am concerned.

Oh, you mean this Craig Jelinek; the one that donates so much that Biden thanks him in person.
MSNBC isn't reporting the news they are directly and overly lobbying for a minimum wage increase.
They open their report with a video clip of Nancy Pelosi, that should make it clear where they stand.
I kid you not, see for yourself: http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/03/08/costco-ceo-wants-minimum-wage-hike-to-10-plus/
Like I'm gong to stop going to Costco. Right.
How many people who said they weren't going to have chick-fil-a have enjoyed their delicious sandwich again?

I stopped buying Levi's but not for that reason. I know I'll never buy another pair for that reason though.
Lee just seems to be better made anymore than Levi's.
Why not support a 100% American made product?

I was going to say nice things about Wrangler (who make Lee) and Carhartt; but I see although they are both also American companies, most products are manufactured overseas.
Wrangler is an American manufacturer of jeans and other clothing items. The brand is owned by the VF Corporation, who also own Lee, JanSport, and The North Face, among others. Its headquarters is in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina in the United States, with production plants in a variety of locations throughout the world.
2001: Wrangler commences making its jeans in Mexico.
2005: Wrangler's last U.S. sewing plant is closed.
Carhartt, Inc., is a U.S.-based clothing company founded in 1889 that focuses on work clothes. It is still a family-owned company, owned by the descendants of company founder Hamilton Carhartt, with its headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan.
Due to competition from other apparel manufacturers and pressure to drive down prices, many of Carhartt's non-core apparel items have been increasingly outsourced abroad. Some countries where outsourcing is and has been done are: Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, China, and the Philippines.
The jeans All American makes comes with a tag that has a code. You can go to their website type in the code and it will tell you what farm the cotton your jeans were made with came from.

I'd love to support them, but $50 for a pair of jeans?
Eh, they are also one of the few big corporations that pay a decent wage to their employees ($17/hour), and provide medical benefits, and the CEO/ co-founder Craig Jelinek insists on only accepting $550k a year in income. He has often refused to do many things that would have added to both the company's bottom line, and his own. He has the attitude that his employees and their quality of life are as important as quarterly profits. As long the company is profitable, and he makes a good income; there is no reason to screw people over to try and maximize his and the company's bottom line.
So, sorry, that trumps the company's anti-2a stance in my book. If every company operated this way (instead of only a handful), I might actually buy into the, Free-Market ramblings I often hear from libertarians.
Well Levis, Lee, and Wranglers don't fit comfortably. I wore Carharts for a while and they fit nicely, I came across all american gave it a shot and they fit like the Carharts and same price. You tell me $50 to china or $50 and support our country? They also have sales all the time, plus 90 day no question asked return policy.
Sorry not trying to get this off topic.
"It won't be long now."
Its all relative, no problem.
I would gladly support them if they were just a bit more, but I can get Wranglers (which fit me the best, and last the longest) for $15. That's quite a difference.
Here's another American made brand, but a bit pricey as well: http://store.americangusset.com/index.php
