On Monday, September 29th Inbev Shareholders gave their seal of approval on the take over of Anheuser Busch, creating the world’s largest brewer.  Anheuser Busch has yet to set a date to vote on the take over however they have set a record date of October 3rd which means anyone who owns BUD stock by that date can vote on the deal. 

Since Anheuser Busch accepted the offer, news of the takeover has been non existent, until now.  InBev's chief executive Carlos Brita was quoted as saying that he would stick to his commitment of keeping the jobs here however there are some stipulations.  Check out the news links to get a better idea of what is at stake.  It will be interesting to see how things play out especially with all the financial instability happening on Wall Street and in our banking industry.  Bail out or no bail out, would voting to sell America's largest brewer be in the best interests of the American people? 

We are still holding out hope that shareholders will vote against this and in the meantime we are piecing together an idea to help raise awareness and money for three outstanding charities.  The three organizations we've chosen to receive the money will provide financial assistance to our troops and their families.  Now more than ever our current military and our veterans need our support.  Stay tuned for details...
