People have often said boycotts do not work! Well I am happy to report the McDonalds boycott did! Over the past several months I have kept you informed about McDonalds crossing the line in the culture war – choosing to promote homosexuality. I have encouraged people to avoid buying their company stock and eating at their restaurants. I know my family of six has chosen to eat and invest elsewhere!

As you may recall earlier this year, McDonalds joined the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and company Vice President Richard Ellis sat on the GLCC Board. Well with the help of family values organizations across the country, strength in numbers sent a loud and clear message to McDonalds. Their “super-size” attack on family values had to stop!

Ronald McDonald heard the message and changed its ways. This week, McDonald’s agreed to stop financing the homosexual agenda, Richard Ellis resigned from the GLCC, and they issued an email to franchises saying, “It is our policy not to be involved in political and social issues. McDonald’s remains neutral on same-sex marriage [and the] ‘homosexual agenda…’”

I applaud McDonald’s for their courageous act to stay neutral in the cultural war. It is not the role of a major corporation to promote anti-family values. McDonalds made the wise decision. I also thank all of you who used your buying power to encourage values on the menu and in company policy.

This example is a perfect illustration of why I wrote The Faith-Based Millionaire. If millions of Christian investors chose to boycott the stocks and products of other corporations that promote values that oppose our faith, what a difference we could make. It takes a concentrated effort of like-minded individuals to come together, stand for what they believe, and take action! As this boycott has shown, we can change corporate America. We can take America back to its traditional values based on faith, hope, and love. Let us all continue to be involved and not watch from the sidelines!
