The best way to get to Sinclair Broadcasting is to make a list of
the companies and products that advertise on Sinclair Stations and notify those companies that you will not, under any circumstance, purchase their product or frequent their service as long as they advertise on any Sinclair Station.

That is the best way for ordinary people to combat this type of thing.

We could just sit back and urge the Obama Campaign on as they take their battle to the FCC and beyond.

But that is like rooting for your favorite sports team from the safety of the stands or your comfortable easy chair.

In order to get on the field of play and do battle along side Obama, we must use the most effective weapon available to individuals; the Boycott.

1. So a list needs to be compiled.
I'm very willing to write to every single advertiser and stop buying what they are selling. No problem.

2. Here is a list of all the stations owned and operated by Sinclair.

I don't have one in my market, thank god, so I will have to rely on those who do have a Sinclair Station in their market to watch and list the national sponsors.

3. I'm in Northern California........
Doesn't appear that I'm in that market either. So we have to get those in that market involved, it appears.

4. And they tend to be in smaller markets....
So the effect would be more on these stations.

5. Nevada is the only state in the West...
I hope folks will take advantage of this link, and go after Sinclair.

The boycott is such a powerful tool...there's one company that I've been boycotting for many years, and it still feels great!
