Letter to Circuit City regarding Sinclair
I am a huge fan of Circuit City. I bought parts of my car stereo, by home theater system, and countless movies from Circuit City in the past. I have to take a stand for democracy, however, and boycott your corporation untill you pull your support from Sinclair Broadcasting.

I am aware of the current position of your business stating that Sinclair Broadcasting is showing a news clip "Stolen Honor." If Sinclair told you it was news, you were duped. "Stolen Honor" is nothing more than dirty propaganda that has been thoroughly discredited, and rebuked by Senators and former FCC officials. The film is currently being sued for libel, as it blatantly promotes oughtright lies. Since your advertising dollars pay the corporation that promotes libel, you will be held responsible by average citizens like myself. The man in charge of the group trying to discredit Senator Kerry was a Nixon stooge, and has been running a smear campaign against him for over 30 years. His charges had no merit then, and they have no merit now.

I encourage Circuit City to stand up for democracy. Sinclair is BREAKING THE LAW!!! You cannot claim this is "freedom of the press!!" Pull your advertising now, or forever be remembered as sponsoring fascism!

Best Regards,


The list of advertisers that have pulled is up to 80!!!!!
Keep going people, their stock is plummeting!!

4. Thanks for the email address
Circuit City is one of the few contacts that I haven't made yet. Also, I have a Circuit City credit card that I am going to cancel.

5. Done
To whom it may concern:

Sinclair Broadcasting is forcing all of it's affiliates to air anti-Kerry propaganda film "Stolen Honor".

Circuit City is one of Sinclair Broadcasting's top advertisers.

I, as well as Democrats and Americans across the country, urge you to stand up to Sinclair and pull your advertising. If you fail to act we are prepared to boycott your establishment.

Thank You,
