Bye, 'bye Hershey!!

A sad story for those of us who remember growing up with Hershey bars, and just as sad for the generations of today.
What will we out source next ?

Pennsylvania is a big state, but it amazes me in this day, how some news doesn't make it over the mountain to the front page of our papers.

Milton Hershey, this year, will be joining H. J Heinz, in rolling over in his grave. Hershey Chocolate is moving to MEXICO...whoopee! They're even closing down Hershey Canada. Don't buy any more Hershey Bars. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite and they are made by Hershey. But, I will not purchase Another one!
M.S. Hershey had a dream... I will buy my OWN Sugar, Milk, Cocoa beans, (all natural mind you!) and make candy... (no tariffs etc..) EVEN during the depression..
...HE and the Company made money...NOW some Corporate big wigs are ruining the name... AND the product M.S. created... Please pass it on...

What a bunch of college educated "idiots". Enough is Enough!
So Hershey executives are closing plants in the US , laying off over a thousand people, and destroying Mr. Hershey's dream, all to cut labor, material costs and AVOID PAYING ANY US TAXES!

The company will save about $170 million a year,all on the backs of the American people. The top executives will still make their mega bucks and the laid off workers will have to find other jobs, some probably at minimum wage due to their age. All this to take their jobs to India, China and Mexico, So WHAT part of the "GREAT" American Chocolate Bar is left?...NOTHING! These countries are no doubt laughing at the Americans, who they don't like anyway. How long are the American people going to sit around and let big corporations do this to us?
We must all band together and let our Politicians in Washington know we have had it with NAFTA, CAFTA and "SHAFTA" and we won't take it any longer!

Please, do not buy any Hershey product! I pulled EVERY dime of my stock, retirement and my HEART out of Hershey... it does hurt me to say that . If the company wants to take the work to these countries, then let those countries buy the product. We don't need it! BOYCOTT HERSHEY!!
Please pass this to everyone on your email list so it gets all across the United States. AND NOTICE THE PRICES AREN'T GOING DOWN.
