Chick-Fil-A Supporters To Turn Out For ‘Appreciation Day’ « CBS Chicago

REPORT: The culture clash over Chick-Fil-A could come to a head on Wednesday, with supporters in Chicago and around the country turning out for an “appreciation day” first proposed by former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

Nationwide as of Wednesday morning, about 582,000 people planned to go to a Chick-Fil-A location and order something for Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Chicago say they will also file a formal complaint at City Hall against Ald. Proco “Joe” Moreno (1st), who wants to block the restaurant from moving into his ward because of the company’s position on gay marriage and gay rights.

Huckabee said on Facebook that the purpose of the “Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day” is to support a business that operates on Biblical values and is being targeted by “vicious hate speech and intolerant bigotry from the left.”
