I think we may have snared ourselves a big one.

A small grocery store in Manassas VA - el Primero Mercado - proudly displayed its window sign supporting the perceived entitlements of illegal aliens in protest of Prince William County's recent resolution to deny public benefits to illegal aliens.

This little store is tucked away in a small shopping center and apparently the manager decided to use this opportunity to drum up business by agreeing to an interview and photo shoot with the Washington Post.

It turns out, this little Latino grocery store is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shoppers Food Ware House, which is owned by Supervalu. Supervalu includes in its network of stores: Acme, Albertsons, bigg's, Bristol Farms, Cub Foods, Farm Fresh Food & Pharmacy, Hornbacher's, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's/Star Market, Shop ‘n Save, Shoppers Food & Pharmacy and Sunflower Market.

So, we're sending comments to Supervalu -- short, sweet and to the point. I wrote:

Why would some of your stores post signs in their store windows supporting illegal aliens in Prince William County, VA? A picture and interview with the manager was in the Washington Post. If your store managers publicly support illegal aliens, there is a real probability they are hiring them as well.

If your stores are promoting and quite likely hiring illegal aliens, I can no longer support any of the stores in your network.

Please feel to express your concern about Supervalu's little "wink 'n nod" business game. To make it easy, I've provided a link to their Contact screen.

CAUTION: You will have to leave your name, email address and phone number. Or, you can call or maybe send a fax.

Call me a hopeless dreamer but I would so like to see so many emails and phone calls that Supervalue sends out a company wide memo ordering the removal of these signs --- BEFORE ---- the boycott ends.
