SINCLAIR: TRY THIS "YUM BRANDS" CONTACT LINK...leave a message
http://www.yum.com/contact/default.htm

Does it work for you?

They run a lot of cookies (if you go in the front door and enter the default age you're banned cause you're too young!)
..so I'm not sure if it'll work.

If it isn't the page to leave a message then scroll down to the contact link.

I've told them it will be a lifetime ban for me and my family if they continue to support Sinclair and this anti-Kerry propaganda is aired.

Period.

Tell them how YOU feel!

1. Done
"I fear that I may have to start frequenting local mom and pop shops. Please take note: my family and I will stop frequenting your establishments and purchasing your products if you continue to advertise with Sinclair Broadcasting. I'll be sorry to do so, as we purchase PizzaHut on Tuesdays, do TacoBell on Wednesdays, and keep a healthy stock of A&W RootBeer on hand for nightly floats (and my entire office does KFC on Fat Fridays.) Please consider advertising on a station that respects FCC regulations.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX
Lakeland, FL"

What is sad is that it's TRUE! I already started boycotting PapaJohn's because they advertise on Sinclair. No Papa's... no PizzaHut, and no Dominos in sight. Ugh!

3. DONE
I've probably eaten over 1000 Burrito Supremes in my lifetime, as well as at least 100 pizzas from Pizza Hut, and hundreds of KFC original recipe pieces of chicken.

With that in mind, I urge you to stop advertising on SInclair Boradcasting Group stations, because they intend to break the law by forcing their affiliates to air a political movie right before the elction that is a bunch of lies.

I trust your food. I have ever since I was young.

Please do the right thing here so that I can continue to trust your companies.

Thank you,

John Dean

4. I have had a business relationship with the Pension Administrator
for Yum and gave her the heads up of what was going on. She told me that she was going to "Walk it on up to the executive board" this week.

Well, you know the deal by now. Tonight I skipped my traditional "Taco Bell Tuesday" and will continue to do so until you cease your support of Sinclair Broadcasting and their attempt to hijack democracy.

I know you're caught in the middle and so am I. But a few tacos -- however tasty -- are a small price to pay to help ensure the future of the Republic. So are a few TV commercials.

Please do the right thing and end your business relationship with Sinclair Broadcasting.

Thank you.

8. THANKS. Glad to hear it works. Polite yet forceful, that's the ticket.
They're caught with pants down in the middle over this....but if they continue with Sinclair through this then it's a lifetime ban. Now they know so then it's no more Mr. Nice Guy.

Then it's permanent. And God help them if Bush squeeks in, 50+% of the country will take revenge on them.

Bloggers will unite on that!
