I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!
As reported in the New York Times, Honest Tea is now all but the official drink of the White House:
Mr. Obama has also maintained the longstanding presidential tradition of weekly lunches with his vice president. For Mr. Obama, lunch generally means a cheeseburger, chicken or fish in his small dining room off the Oval Office. There is also a new addition to White House cuisine: the refrigerators are stocked with the president’s favorite organic brew: Honest Tea, in Mr. Obama’s preferred flavors of Black Forest Berry and Green Dragon.

They should sue.”)
CHRISTIAN GROUP AFFIRMS: ONLY ONE PATH TO HEAVEN

It’s not enough that you lead a life of constructive citizenship, kindness, integrity, and love. If you want in, there’s only one way.
