Mr. W. Craig Jelinek
President and Chief
Executive Officer
Costco Wholesale
Corporation

Issaquah, WA 98027
Dear Mr. Jelinek:
I was saddened to learn
your company, under your leadership, has entered into the arena of political
ideology. It’s one thing for a company
to be involved in political discourse and lobbying efforts that would benefit
your stakeholders, but to attempt to suppress the voice of those who hold
opposing views is in the truest sense, un-democratic, un-American and in
violation of the tenets of capitalism.
I won’t be so impetuous as
to resign my membership because there may be occasions where I may have no alternative
to fulfill my needs. However, I resolve
to use your competitors as often as I can.
Sincerely,
Bill Monroe
