The Gap: “Vote twice”?

To the Board of Directors of Gap, and Officers of the Company,
I have been a loyal customer of GAP since it first opened. I have seen the many changes both design wise, and artistically and I have always been inspired by the concerns for AIDS and other projects like the Whitney artist items that have brought art into daily life. However, as a consumer and activist, I was shocked by one of the buttons you are promoting in your “VOTE” campaign.
I was in your shop in Walnut Creek this weekend, and purchased a button that says “VOTE TWICE”. I was perplexed by this statement, as it is illegal for any citizen to vote twice and seeing the GAP encourage voter fraud was shocking. I bought the button as evidence, and kept the receipt as I am still outraged that your company is selling this propaganda to a group of voters, many who have registered for the first time. I also complained to the sales girl who said I was not the first person to say that this was a very innappropiate message and that she did not have a proper response from corporate regarding this controversial button.
