[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]L.L. Bean has backed social and religious conservatives for a very, very long time. This situation is not new. Linda Bean openly supports organizations that do not support federal social programs, and is rabidly opposed to public education and reproductive rights.

That being said, she is more than likely not so much a Trump supporter as a Pence supporter.

The family has done a lot to keep jobs in Maine, but they have also done a lot to support the cesspool of foreign clothing manufacturing responsible for some of the most repugnant human rights abuses out there.

If you value the power of your dollar as a tool for promoting the same values you cherish, and the way of life you wish for yourself and your children, simply do not buy their products. Share that knowledge in helpful ways.

But, please, do not make a direct match between Linda Bean and Donald Trump. Linda Bean wishes us Mike Pence's world much more than Donald Trump's. That world is more easily packaged and digested by America, but it is far more insidious, it is dangerous, and it is likely what we will be left with after all the distraction and obfuscation ends.

He should not be picking and choosing company's and advertising for them because of political donations.  If he were already in office that would be very much like a bribe.

As for LL Bean--if her contributions violated the law they should consider removing her from the Board of Directors.  I question a company that allows the Board of Directors to violate the law without consequence.  It makes me question whether they will follow corporate governance laws.  When someone shows you they are willing to break or violate the law--believe them and don't let them stay on as an advisor in your company.  [/quote]
