Power Line: Pepsi's moving finger...



When a corporation like PepsiCo offends a racial minority (or at least offends Jesse Jackson), it customarily pays a monetary tribute by funding one of Jackson's organizations. Maybe PepsiCo can make good on its apology by finding a way to assist the brave Americans who have sacrificed during America's efforts to extend a hand (not a finger) to those who have suffered from oppression in Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe PepsiCo can extend its own hand to the liberated but still suffering people of those countries.

Interesting. It says here that PepsiCo gave "a multimillion dollar donation" to the Ludacris Foundation after dropping the rapper as a spokesperson.

Here, PepsiCo bows to Al Sharpton.

PepsiCo also has a "Minority and Women Business Program" (whatever the heck that means).

Maybe they could set up a program for Veteran Owned Businesses. There's a long list of supported groups on their site; no Veterans' groups. Maybe it's time.

The Board can be reached here: BoardofDirectors@Pepsi.com.
