In response to thetaj's question on how this event was Mike Huckabee-supported, Huckabee started this whole thing as a response to the boycott issue. Supposedly more than 20 million people looked at his Facebook page and people began to show support for the event even before it occured. Huckabee is quoted as saying that "the success of Chick-fil-A is a great American story that is being smeared by vicious hate speech and intolerant bigotry from the left." (newsmax)
Huckabee then suggested the Appreciation Day to support Don Cathy and the company.
