After seeing Cassandra’s post this morning about how the Delaware GOP is in bed with the Tea Party, promoting their demonstrations around the state tomorrow, we decided to contact Kmart to see what their feelings were about the ir parking lot being used as a staging area for the Rehoboth Beach area’s public teabagging ceremony.
Kim Brailey, head of Public Relations for Sears Holdings Co., the parent company of Kmart responded to our question about whether they knew the Rehoboth Beach Kmart on Route 1 was going to be used tomorrow. Her response: “We were not aware that the Tea Party was going to use the Kmart property in question as a staging area for their rally. We have sent them a cease and desist order. We are non-partisan and do not approve of Kmart property being used for any political purposes.” When asked if this also meant that the parking lot was off-limits for teabaggers to park and walk to the rally, she said “Yes.”
