Shareholders Squeeze Cisco on Human Rights
Comatose51 writes "According to this article at Wired, Boston Common Asset Management, has filed a shareholders resolution asking Cisco to 'adopt a comprehensive human rights policy for its dealings with the Chinese government, and with other states practicing political censorship of the internet.' Cisco so far has asked the SEC to omit this proposal from the agenda for the next annual meeting, claiming that it already has a comprehensive human rights policy in place and that 'Cisco does not participate in any way in any censorship activities in the People's Republic of China ...' However, 'a report from the OpenNet Initiative watchdog group last April singled out Cisco for allegedly enabling the Chinese government's notorious "Great Firewall."' As a shareholder in Cisco, I would like to see this issue discussed and voted on."
The time has come for America to stop working with the evil Chinese government! We must refuse to purchase their products, as well as not selling anything to them, so that we do not profit from fascism and oppression! An economic blockade is the perfect way to take down a tyranical, communist government!
Obviously the only way to achieve social responsibility is with more dead Jews! Because preventing Islamic Jihad and Hamas from tunneling into Israel to smuggle weapons would be just, like, so Nazi.
There, are you happy now ?
