Advertisers on Fox47 (Sinclair) in Madison

[Lefta Dissenter]

In addition to the national list going at dKos http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/10/10/19162/939 I think it's even more important to contact the local advertisers to let them know that we will be boycotting their businesses if they continue to advertise on this station that is attempting to influence an election by airing the piece of slander called, "Stolen Honor."

I have started the following list based on the Fox47website, and by turning on (:puke:) the station and listing advertisers. When I get phone numbers/email addresses, I will try to post those, as well. Please add to the following list as you can, and PLEASE contact these businesses to let them know that they will lose your business if they continue to advertise on Fox47.

Porta Bella/Paisans
Wireless Works
Oasis Day Spa
Boulder's Climbing Gym
Recobs Target Shop
State Bar & Grill
Play it again Sports
Monona State Bank
China1Buffet
winwindows.com (whatever that is)
Roni Deutch Law office [phone]
Slumberland
CTI Satellite 249-dish
Dean Foundation 827-2315

I wish I had more time to put into this right now, but it's a start. Please get calling and writing!

2. I'm adding phone numbers here, so it's

easier to kick than edit, and if anyone outside of the Madison area wants to help us out - all of these numbers are in the 608 area code.

3. Is Dean Foundation

still on the list? It being open enrollment time for state employees, they (Dean Care) would be highly vulnerable to a boycott. http://www.dean.org/about.html

4. sorry for replying to my own post,

but I just talked with the manager of State Bar and Grill, and she said that I would need to talk to the owner, who is Tracy Schmock. Her number is 466-6055, and I've left a message asking her to call me. She is married to Tom Schmock, who is part of the family that also owns Smoky's Restaurant on University Avenue (and I don't know what other places they might have).

5. State Bar and Grill

Tracy Schmock is not married to Tom but Larry, Tom's brother and business partner. Tom is just about my best friend in the world and I just got off the phone with him. He had no idea the State advertised on Fox 47 but he's going to look into it.
