I was doing some online shopping for my grandson's 1st Birthday. I wanted to buy him a Blue Jean Jacket or something that screams 'Little Boy'... He has Huge Blue eyes, long lashes and curly - dirty blond hair, many think he is a cutie pie girl :-) Ok, Enough grandma bragging. Anyway, I surfed my way through several online stores and noticed that the cost of Levis has shot to the moon. Who pays $65.00 for a baby boys jacket that is made in some sweat shop in Honduras or Asia?? Sheesh!

Levis, get out of Politics and stick to jean making. You've already screwed over Americans by moving your plants overseas...

As if we aren’t seeing enough companies and individuals jumping on the bandwagon as anti-Constitutional, anti-Second Amendment advocates, now Levi Strauss is teaming up with one of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s lobby group, Everytown for Gun Safety, as well as the hypocritical Gabby Giffords group.

Levi Strauss & Co. president and CEO Chip Bergh penned an op-ed at Forbes on Tuesday in which he proudly announced the anti-Constitutional support of the company for Communist gun grabbers like Michael Bloomberg and Gabby Giffords and their organizations, but Bergh is also putting his money where his mouth is. The company will be giving more than $1 million towards Safer Tomorrow Fund, which is a fund that will pay for little Communists like David Hogg and other activists, as well as nonprofits who are seeking to disarm Americans.

Bergh wrote about a letter he penned in 2016 where he described an incident where a customer accidentally shot himself while trying on jeans. Bergh claims it happened in one of “our stores.” I had no idea Levi Strauss had stores. Anyway, I digress.

Bergh wrote:

As president and CEO of a values-driven company that’s known the world over as a pioneer of the American West and one of the great symbols of American freedom, I take the responsibility of speaking up on the important issues of our day very seriously. We can’t take on every issue. But as business leaders with power in the public and political arenas, we simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to the issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work. While taking a stand can be unpopular with some, doing nothing is no longer an option.

That’s why Levi Strauss & Co. is stepping up our support for gun violence prevention. You may wonder why a company that doesn’t manufacture or sell guns is wading into this issue, but for us, it’s simple. Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence. It’s an issue that affects all of us—all generations and all walks of life.

Why isn’t Levi Strauss supporting car safety? Nearly 110 people die in car accidents in the US every single day!
