Huge success with NO (MICHAEL) SAVAGE
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 02:21 PM by Contrary1
Michael Savage losing advertisers. But, more work needs to be done. Let's do it!
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Contact his advertisers:

Geico Insurance (800) 861-8380
Intuit (TurboTax) - THANK YOU INTUIT!
Wyeth Consumer Healthcare (Advil, Robitussin, Centrum) (800) 322-3129
Chattem (Gold Bond, Icy-Hot, Garlique) - THANK YOU CHATTEM!
ITT Technical Institute - THANK YOU ITT TECH!
Union Bank of California - THANK YOU UNION BANK!
Office Depot (800) 463-3768
Stamps.com
USO (Support the Troops) (703) 908-6400 *
USDA (MyPyramid.gov) (888) 779-7264 *

Email I received:

Dear activists, colleagues and friends,
You did it! What an amazing outpouring of intelligent, thoughtful letters, emails and calls to the Savage advertisers.

Already, four major companies have pulled out, and QUICKLY. So savor your good work, and know that in fact your actions do make a difference. You didn't just yell at your radio or TV. YOU DID SOMETHING, and it made a difference.

But here's something we didn't expect. The USO is standing behind Michael Savage! They refuse to pull their ads from his program.

We're shocked and disheartened by this. We would have expected them to be the first to distance themselves from someone who is deliberately fanning the flames of hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims, putting the troops in even greater jeopardy. How does this help the cause of America's servicemembers?

Please call John Hanson, spokesman for the USO, and let him know this is just not acceptable. (703) 908-6400

And, if you're a digger, digg this story: http://digg.com/political_opinion/Michael_Weiner_Savage_Losing_Advertisers_Over_Hate_Speech

Thanks for all your hard work on this important issue,
Robert Greenwald
and the Brave New Films crew
