Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day
Details
Hobby Lobby is a Christian-owned national craft store. It has sued to be exempted from the requirement under Obamacare to provide abortion causing drugs and sterilization coverage in its health plans for employees and has lost at every turn. They have indicated they will defy the Obama Administration and not provide this coverage. The CEO and owner, David Green, says the chain potentially faces a fine of $1.3 million per day.
There is an effort afoot to organize a Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day. Organizer Joe Grabowski has chosen January 5th as that day! He says he was inspired by the “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” this past August. The Facebook-driven campaign has already collected more than 18,000 people who have pledged to shop at the store on Saturday.”
