Draft of next letter to Board of Directors

Ladies & Gentlemen, it is probably no surprise to anyone that the Coke Board of Directors has not responded. So it is time to take the next step. It is a request for the process of sending proxy statements to stockholders.

The response is exactly what we expected. In fact it is just a continuation of what was received by complaints via their normal communication channels, "Just a bunch of rednecks, ignore them ..."

But as the effort continues to grow the documented trail of even the courtesy of acknowledging receipt should be informative to stockholders and other Southern customers.

As before - we will take a week for the signers of the petition to review the letter. Last time it was greatly improved by the feedback. Also this gives a week to advertise the petition to get some more signers before sending to Coke.

This is also a good time to be bringing this the attention of Coke as the Georgia Flag FAIR Vote Act is getting ready to be introduced in the Georgia Legislature.

Your comments are welcome, and please try to use the link below to forward this to five people or more who should be interested.

Ref: Letter to Mr. Daft and Board of Directors of November 21, 2003.

Dear Mr. Daft:

In our letter of November 21, 2003, to each member of the Coca-Cola Company Board of Directors, we brought a matter of great concern to your attention. Since there has been no reply in over 60 days, you have confirmed the very reason why the attached list of former customers have discontinued purchasing Coke products.

As you are aware, Coke was invented by a Confederate veteran. Historically Coke relied upon the Proud Heritage of Southerners to increase the sales of Coke products. As a result, Coke became the beverage of choice and one which untold thousands were proud of.

It is with great shock and dismay that an increasing number of your customers are discovering that Coke has inexplicably changed. Coke has not only abandoned its roots, but is now using our money to discriminate against Southern Heritage.

Efforts to discuss this issue with your designated representatives have failed. For example, questioning the involvement of Coke in the Georgia Business PAC resulted in responses that were basically a denial of documented facts (the Georgia Business PAC records are open public records in Georgia). Even the changing of the information on the inventor of your flagship product, Coke, from "Confederate veteran" to "civil war veteran" was denied when it is obvious to all on your web site.

Now, communication with each member of the Coke Board of Directors has proven unproductive.

In summary, we have sadly drawn the conclusion this potential abuse of corporate funds and potential deliberate mistreatment of a significant customer base should be brought to the attention of the stockholders of Coke.

We therefore are requesting the policy, procedure and other required information for obtaining contact information for the stockholder’s list for the purposes of issuing proxy requests.

Should you desire to discuss the above in good faith, a representative can be contacted at 706-374-2640.

For now, we remain your former customers.

Sincerely,

 

Mike Crane
