‘Obamacare’ opponents organizing Papa John’s appreciation day

Papa John's

Carl Weiser reports:

Remember the Chick-fil-A appreciation day?  Thousands of people here in Greater Cincinnati, as well as nationally, lined up to show support for the chain’s CEO, who said he opposed same sex marriage.   The comments drew criticism from supporters of same-sex marriage who organized boycotts and a kiss-in.

Now Papa John’s finds itself in same situation – reviled and targeted for boycott by some, and the target of an “appreciation day” on Friday by others.

The Facebook page organizing the appreciation day was launched after Papa John’s CEO said he would cut employee hours as a result of the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare.

“There are over 2,600 Papa John’s stores in the United States. Let’s flood all of them like we flooded Chick-Fil-A,” writes the organizer, Justen Charters, who identifies himself as a founder of a group called Rebooting America.

There’s one Papa John’s location in Mason at 5612 Tylersville Road.
