If Oberto is going to put jerky in the pockets of a person who’s working against Idaho children, it should put money in the pockets of people who are working for Idaho children.
Sign the petition telling the beef-jerky maker to donate to Idaho charities.
Here’s the background.
During the Idaho Legislature’s special session on May 18, Rep. Heather Scott (R-Blanchard) was arguing against the child support bill when she said, “Hey, I brought beef jerky, I’ll go for days.”
The beef jerky company Oberto heard the reference to their trademark product and, two days later, sent her a case of beef jerky. Apparently, the company did not noticed that Scott was arguing against Idaho’s children at the time.
The Idaho Statesman said Scott’s blind opposition to the well-being of Idaho families was a product of fear and pride.
We’re pretty sure Oberto doesn’t want to be remembered as a company of fear and pride.
We believe it would rather be known as a company that supports families.
And this is its opportunity to do just that.
