Regis Corporation's email response re: Sinclair
Kind of pathetic, don't you think? "Please don't boycott us! We have families with kids!"



Thank you for your email regarding Sinclair Broadcasting Group. We have received numerous emails from individuals regarding this issue; some threatening to boycott our company, and some encouraging us not to buckle to this threat.

Regis Corporation does not participate in political or religious
activities. Simply put, we cut hair. We employ over 53,000 people, many of whom are paid on commission, and rely on that income to support their families. By boycotting us, you are hurting individuals - our employees and their families.

We have notified Sinclair Broadcasting Group not to air our advertising during or adjacent to any political programming. That is the right thing to do. To take any further action would be inappropriate, and not in keeping with our responsibilities to our employees and our stockholders.

In return, we are asking you to remove our name from your boycott list.

Thank you.

REGIS CORPORATION

1. Not a bad response
All we want is for them to pull their advertising during the program, which they have done. Sounds like a win for our side to me.

2. I got that response also. What's the message here? How does
that really affect Sinclair? I can't wait until their license comes up for renewal.
