DU this AFA letter to NBC Chairman Bob Wright
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 01:21 AM by Terre
EDIT: I just found out this show had been cancelled or not renewed, but not necessarily because of AFA. However, since AFA is insisting on continued appeals to send this letter, please feel free to add your two cents (by sending your own) if you want.

I only heard about this much earlier today on DailyKos. Apparently one NBC affiliate (I forget which) has knuckled under the pressure and will not be airing "The Book of Daniel".

I'll be honest with you and say that I'm not exactly sure what the American Family Association finds offensive about The Book of Daniel, because I hadn't even heard of it until today.

The AFA has a web letter that has been pre-filled in as follows. Naturally you can change it to whatever you wish. Link to the web letter:

Dear Chairman Wright:

I am disappointed that NBC has decided to air "The Book of Daniel." I know that AFA will keep us posted on which companies desire to underwrite this program.

We are told in Hebrews that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Obviously you don't believe that. It would be beneficial to all if NBC showed a little more respect for Christians who believe the Bible.

I ask you to inform all NBC affiliates, in writing, (according to your testimony before a Congressional hearing last year) they are not required to air this program if they choose not to.


Here's what I wrote - Simple, but supportive:

Dear Chairman Wright:

I would LOVE to see this program.

I've heard that many people are against your airing it, and to those people I suggest you remind them to use their remote and change the channel.

Terre


I briefly looked through the threads, and couldn't find anything on this, so if it's a duplicate request for the same thing, I'm hoping someone will let me know. Thanks.
