CALL TO ACTION
UNITE TO STOP TOY BAN TYRANNY
The Grinch couldn't steal Christmas--although he tried very hard.
The San Francisco Board of Burgermeisters Meisterburgers are trying to steal the toys out of kids' Happy Meals.

On November 2nd, San Francisco Board of Burgermeisters Meisterburgers passed a city ordinance banning toy giveaways in Happy Meals and similar fast-foods that lack the requisite nutritional value.
"Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful AND anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon. No kidding!"
However, San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom, in an act of enlightened governing, vetoed the ban and declared, "...what's next, Cap'n Crunch...Tony the Tiger?" Now the Board of Burgermeisters are threatening to override the veto.
Well, I say, 'hands off my Happy Meal!' And 'stay the hell away from my Count Chocula and Lucky Charms!' Tony the Tiger is an icon from my generation--manhandle him and thousands of Gen Xers will scream out in unison. 'Where will this madness stop?'
"Poor, misguided folks. They missed the whole point. Lot's of unhappiness? Maybe so. But doesn't a Happy Meal toy take a little bit of that unhappiness away? Doesn't a smile on a child when he/she opens up their Happy Meal and finds a toy scratch out a tear cried on a sadder day..?"
A Happy Meal without a toy, is no longer a 'Happy' Meal, it's just a regular old meal. Hence, the Board wants to steal happiness from children. Just like Ebeneezer Scrooge. Well, I say, 'Bahumbug' to them. I will not be silenced by the food police. Like any other good mom, I know the value of a good bribe when my child is inconsolable. Cookies, ice cream, toys, etc...whatever it takes to keep them from screaming. I'm all for it.
"Watch out for that dolly. She's a hardened criminal, I hear."
Contact these morons at: http://www.sfbos.org/ SF Board of Burgermeisters Meisterburgers, and tell them that if they ban Happy Meal toys, you, in an act of civil disobedience, will purposefully increase your carbon footprint for one whole day and drop your screaming kid off at their office.
"You are obviously a nonconformist and a rebel!"
'
Yes, yes I am.'
