Hot Pursuit - Dodge County

Just as you sit down to gobble some turkey this week, I encourage you to boycott some of America’s biggest retailers, including Minnesota-based Target. I share this letter with you as visions of turkey dance in your heads.  
An open letter to Minnesota’s Target Corp:
It is with utter dismay that Minnesota’s own Target Corporation plans to continue succumbing to what’s become known as the Black Friday creep. 
Specifically, I’m referring to Target’s decision to open its doors on Thanksgiving even earlier than previous years at 6 p.m. just as families should be settling in for a turkey feast and enjoying each other’s company. This executive brain decision is troubling on many accounts.
Your boneheaded corporate decision not only encourages people to break away from their families to go shopping, but it also forces your workers to shove off to work. What has happened to the sacredness Thanksgiving once offered our families?
Being a businessman myself, I certainly realize the importance of drumming up sales and balancing the books. But at what expense? Why do we need to rob already time-starved families on one of the most important days of the year for family to make this happen? 
I have a simple question: Is this almighty dollar more important than sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends? Obviously, Target and other large retailers put commercialism ahead of the values of Thanksgiving.
