Thread: immigrant march is brought to you by Miller Beer

I don't drink beer but my husband does. He's definatly not picky and just gets what's on sale. That's one he won't buy again. I dropped them a note anyway. I don't care if they give it away.........

I would hope like all get out they aren't giving away beer or serving it along the walk.......it would be a disaster.

I called to ask about the walk from Joliet. She seemed very unwilling to tell me anything and not to happy about having to speak in English. She claimed she lost the flyer and just doesn't have that information.
Doesn't know what day or where they are starting from? Please......

Seriously. Does everyone know what would happen if these large angry crowds get their hands on alcohol during the protests?

They are going to be more violent than what they already are!

I have sent my letter to these traitors!

Get breaking news alerts
(CBS) CHICAGO Another immigration march started today in Chicago and will continue all the way through the weekend.

The march began with an 11 a.m. Chinatown rally, and marchers started their trek to the next stopping point in Little Village around noon. The crowd of hundreds is set to meet with another group of marchers.

Activists want to pressure lawmakers to reform immigration laws and are upset that so far, there are no scheduled public hearings in Illinois.

The 40-mile march is expected to last four days. It begins in Chinatown on Friday and will conclude at U.S. Rep. Dennis Hastert’s office in Batavia on Monday.

The march is being sponsored by Miller beer.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (UPI) -- Nascent Wine Co. has gained the exclusive distribution rights for Miller Beer in Mexico`s Baja California region.

NWC signed a deal with Costco De Mexico to supply their club stores with Miller Beer in the Baja California region of Mexico, NWC said Wednesday. Those club stores extend from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas.

Here is contact info for Penske racing which races the Miller Lite Car for Nascar. I have already contacted Miller Brewing, which I think could care less, but maybe a little pressure on the athletes and the events that advertise Miller products will help reinforce the message. I doubt NASCAR teams would want fans to associate them with the beer of choice for illegals.

TEXT OF STORY


SCOTT JAGOW: In Chicago today, hundreds of people set out on a 50-mile, four-day march for immigration rights. Their final destination is the district offices of House Speaker Dennis Hastert in Batavia, Illiniois. The protestors don't like the House immigration bill that would criminalize undocumented workers. There've been a lot of these protests this summer. So nothing too surprising here. Except that this political demonstration is being brought to you by Miller Brewing Company. From WBEZ in Chicago, Mike Rhee tells us what's brewing.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MIKE RHEE: At one of the pit stops along the march route, volunteers handed out bottles of water to protestors. No beer here. But a few weeks ago, at an organizing convention for this immigrants' march, Miller Brewing Company was in full force.

A company spokesperson says it spent more than $30,000 on promotional signs and brochures. Salome Amezcua is with the Rainbow-PUSH Coalition's Latino chapter. She helped organize the march. Amezcua says Miller was their biggest sponsor.
SALOME AMEZCUA: If it was not for them, the convention, financially, would not happen.
Miller's newfound support for the immigrants' movement comes after a backlash it suffered earlier this year. A Chicago immigration group boycotted Miller because the company had contributed money to U.S. Representative Jim Sensenbrenner. At the time Sensenbrenner was pushing a bill in Congress to crack down on illegal immigration.
JEREMY MOLEMAN: It's certainly a move that does carry some risks, and maybe some benefits, too, though.
Jeremy Moleman covers beer and liquor marketing for Advertising Age. With Miller being the number two seller of beer in the U.S., well behind Anheuser-Busch, Moleman says the company's looking at ways to cut into that lead.
MOLEMAN: A key sort of central piece of what they're doing now as they're trying to gain momentum is they're looking at this Hispanic market, which is a fast-growing market, and they think a market where they think they could be performing better than they have in the past.
A spokesperson from Miller says the company does not support illegal immigration. It does, however, support more discussions on creating legal paths to citizenship.

In Chicago, I'm Mike Rhee for Marketplace.

I doubt NASCAR teams would want fans to associate them with the beer of choice for illegals.

Welcome ALC!! I think your right. The "good old boys" wouldn't want anything to do with this!! GO Dale Jr.!! (Budwiser).
