Miller Beer Sales and SABMiller Stock Dive as Boycott enters Phase II

Monday, September 25, 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jason Mrochek (FIRE Coalition) & William Gheen (ALIPAC)

Last week the Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition passed the 100 supporting organizations mark and achieved over 12,000 petition signatures while the Dow Jones Newswires announced a collapse in SABMiller's stock value and beer sales in America!

The boycott by immigration enforcement groups was brought on by September 1 reports in the Chicago Tribune that Miller Brewing Company gave $30,000 to pro amnesty organizations that support illegal immigration. Coalition members also determined that Miller gives large sums of money to race based organizations like La Raza (Translation: The Race)

According to the Dow Jones News Newswires (9/22/2006) SABMiller (SAB.JO) stock had fallen to 999p. This is a 6.02percent drop since the launch of the Miller Boycott on September 5 when the stock was trading at 1063p. Dow Jones reports that Miller Beer's sales are down in America more than other major companies.

Since the launch of the boycott, coalition representatives have been on over 25 talk radio programs and covered in several major media markets spreading word of the boycott. Over 12,000 people have signed the petition calling on the Executive Branch to enforce existing laws aimed at companies that hire, aid, and abet illegal aliens. Almost 1 million hits have been recorded on the boycott website at www.MillerBoycott.com

Coalition directors William Gheen of ALIPAC and Jason Mrochek of FIRE Coalition are announcing phase 2 of the boycott plan today!

"We are sending word to our extensive network today for citizen activists to begin spreading the word about the boycott using our online resources, such as bumper stickers, fliers, and e-mail templates." says William Gheen. "We also hope to expand our list of supporting organizations up towards 150 groups!"

Jason Mrochek is gives a glimpse of Phase 3 which will include citizens protesting outside of Miller Brewing Company production plants and offices. "Shortly after the November elections, we plan to launch protests outside of their facilities coast to coast." says Mrochek. "It is important for the communities close to these plants and the workers in these plants to know about our boycott that Miller Brewing supports illegal immigration."

Just so you know, this is a progressive discussion forum based in Canada. You aren't going to get much sympathy for taking a "them dadburned illegals should get shipped the hell back to Mexico" position regarding immigration to the United States.

Nor for calls for boycotting a beer because the brewery supported humane treatment for immigrants.

If that is your intent.

If you meant you were offended by the boycott, disregard the above remakrs

Classic. Americans can bring a company to it's knees through action if that comany is demonstrably anti-racist. Remember when this sort of action used to be taken against racist regimes? Like, I dunno, South Africa? Those days are long past, I'm afraid.

How much of the stock dive might be attributable to Miller Lite tasting like bear piss? I guess none, given the similar flavour of Budweiser, Coor's Lite, etc., etc.

I wish I could say that Miller's pro-immigration stance would compel me to drink their swill, but alas, it does not.

The quality of Miller is not strained.

Miller beer in Canada is made here under licence by Molson-Coors.

Canadians should not drink Canadian-made Miller for the same reason they should not drink any Molson-Coors product - the profits go to the vast Coors empire that funds the Republican Party and many right-wing think tanks and religious foundations in the US of A.
