I know I needed this reminder since Sears isn't always my first choice. Amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and they haven't withdrawn from their commitment. Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?
How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called up.
Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years.
I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive re enforcement it well deserves.
Pass it on.
Decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:

Dear Sir,
I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it is, the Internet may have just become one very good source of advertisement for your company! . I know I would go out of my way to buy products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it's cheaper at that store.
This is their answer to my e-mail:
Dear Customer:

Please pass this on to all your friends. Sears needs to be recognized for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as Americans, we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!!! AND maybe shop there after the holisays.
GOD BLESS AMERICA !

New Bill
This afternoon, the House passed a bill 223-to-202 tightening financial regulations and ensuring we put Main Street first.
For eight long years, President Bush and his Republican allies ignored growing risks in the financial markets. The Republicans failed to regulate financial markets leaving the big banks to take huge risks with our money and leaving taxpayers with the bill.
Today, Democrats took bold action and voted to protect Main Street's families and small businesses -- just days after Republicans were huddling with special interest groups in the Capitol over the strategy to kill financial reform.
We will keep you posted as we continue to fight for health care reform and help our candidates prepare for 2010. Thanks again for standing with us as we continue to stand up for you!
