No more Pepsi will ever pass my lips. BOYCOTT!

I've always liked Coke so much more anyway! Won't be hard for me to not buy Pesi!

I'm glad I gave up soda years ago. I mean the choices are: high fructose corn syrup (from genetically modified corn) OR aspartame OR sucralose. All of the above are horrible for the body.

I do Coke....but all these businesses made money and got to where they are by AMERICANS.....seriously....I know it's bad to say....but I hope they rot and have a special seat in hades for their actions.


Oh ya.....a Hatian eating dirt cookies is going to chase it down with a Coke. Good luck.

The National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest and most influential Hispanic chauvinist organization, receives financial backing from some of America's largest banks and corporations. With multi-million dollar funding from corporate America, La Raza operates a powerful political and communications network of hundreds of affiliates in 41 states that works to shape American government and society to suit its own ideological and cultural interests. As a powerful advocate for amnesty for illegal aliens and staunch opponent of border security, La Raza lobbies regularly on behalf of the political positions taken by the Mexican government against U.S. border fencing and interior immigration law enforcement. Its activities on behalf of millions of Hispanic immigrants in the U.S., most of them from Mexico, help countries like Mexico achieve demographic and political leverage in domestic American affairs. La Raza's efforts are made possible by millions of dollars supplied by some of the most well-known names in corporate America. Here is a partial list of La Raza's corporate financiers.

I feel sick. I guess Coca Cola is out too!

Pepsi's been trying to get into the lion's share of Mexico market, Coke's been at the top for years. Pepsi's still on the bottom.
