Scott Van Duzer, the Obama hugger: Shop facing boycott
Source: Politico
People are saying a lot of bad things and boycotting my restaurant, Scott Van Duzer, 46, told POLITICO. Theres no middle line anymore, and thats exactly whats wrong with our country right now.
The owner of Big Apple Pizza & Pasta Restaurant in Fort Pierce, Fla., said that both Democrats and Republicans are welcome in his store. But he also said he thinks Mitt Romneys running mate Rep. Paul Ryan whose sculpted abs are thanks to intense P90X training sessions would lose to the president in a workout battle.

Van Duzers June bike-trek was part of his Van Duzer Foundation, and helped raise awareness for blood donation shortages. Founded in 2008 to support a local firefighter whose house burned down, the foundation has since raised more than $600,000, Van Duzer said. Van Duzer said he rode with a few kids from the Boys and Girls Club and met with U.S. Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin to discuss blood shortages.
Obama told The New York Times that Van Duzers effort in promoting blood donations was part of the reason the campaign decided to visit his pizza shop.

(8,514 posts)They told me that a lot of people are calling and ordering pizzas from them, to deliver to other people (homeless or nearby businesses, I guess) and it got very hectic for them. Now, they are directing people to go to their website, to donate: http://thevanduzerfoundation.org/
Leave it to a Democrat to think of others before themselves. This guy is just great, I tell you! I hope you donate; I just did!

I understand that once many republicans were like him.

(8,514 posts)A lot of people are waking up. A lot. You can't keep feeding people bullshit and then leave them hanging out to dry, when you actually do the job, without them eventually figuring out that you're full of crap. I think that's why people are waking up. They are tired of hearing the same old patriotic drum beating and Repubs wrapping themselves in the American flag while butchering our middle class economically. They are simply not buying the propaganda anymore.
