Canceling his PayPal account with flair

Cancel your PayPal accounts! Steal this graphic! Tell your friends! http://bit.ly/DumpPayPal
This just in from “Big Daddy”:
Just closed my PayPal account…
This is what I wrote in the Comment of why I closed my account:
“Your refusal to allow the National [Organization] for the Reform of Marijuana Laws of California to use the PayPal system because there were Doctors listed on their site who may recommend medical marijuana to their sick patients has offended me and hundreds of thousands of likeminded people. People who believe that sick Americans have a right to medical marijuana in states that allow it are not a minority but a majority. If this is your “Business Decision”, as a Financial Analyst, I don’t think you have made the correct financial calculation. I will blog in protest of PayPal until you reverse your decision. In the mean time you have lost my business and my family’s future business, including my children who will grow up being told that PayPal is against sick people finding Doctors to help them.”
I love you people!

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
Did you say EBAY? Can you see the ripple effect?
I canceled my two acounts last night, trying to get my wife to close hers but she thinks that it wont matter, she loves ebay, but Im working on it. My parents are going to close theirs, since they dont use it anyhow I was able to talk them into it very easy.
PayPal may start regreting this move, lets all hope so!
