Turn Off Fox- free stickers to distribute!

[TheUnspeakable]

I got an email from Color of Change-


(snip)When you sign the petition below, you use your power as a consumer to encourage businesses and other public places to become Fox Free.

Businesses know that every person who signs represents another customer or potential customer. Volunteers like you will approach establishments in neighborhoods across the country, and when they ask businesses to turn off Fox, they'll be acting on behalf of all of us who've signed the petition with them.

When you join, you can also get a FREE TurnOffFox sticker (and that includes shipping — you pay nothing) to help get the word out. For a $3 donation, we'll send you 5 stickers. For $10 or more, we'll send 20 stickers, and for $20 we'll send 50 stickers. (Stickers are 4x5" and feature the logo above.)



i love the idea of passing these out to businesses that have Fox on!

1. Some text from the email...

A year ago, Glenn Beck called the President a racist who had a deep-seeded hatred for White people.1 In just over a week, he says he will "reclaim"2 the legacy of the civil rights movement by holding his "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC — on the same day and place as Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

You can get mad at Beck. You can protest and try to prevent him from stepping on Dr. King's honor for one day. The reality is that the next day — and five days-a-week from there on out — Beck will be back on Fox News, speaking to millions and spreading hate, lies, and fear, as he does every week.

The real problem is Fox News. Fox News gives Beck his platform, and Fox promotes his events — all despite Beck losing virtually all of his major advertisers in the last year.

Fox's rhetoric is not just divisive; it's dangerous. Last month, a heavily armed man got into a gun fight with police after he was pulled over on his way to kill people at the Tides Foundation4 — a non-profit that was little known until Glenn Beck repeatedly demonized it, claiming it to be the center of a great conspiracy.5 Last year, Kansas doctor George Tiller was gunned down while at church6 after Bill O'Reilly called him a Nazi, a "baby killer," and warned of "Judgment Day."7

It's why today we’re launching TurnOffFox, and we hope you'll join us. TurnOffFox is the first step in our overall effort to beat back the poison, hate, and division of Fox. We'll get Fox turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places — places where Fox pulls in new viewers and gains legitimacy. But we need your help
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

2. Bad link. 404 error.

This should work:

You need to paste in the entire URL. There's no www and the https:// is mandatory.

6. Thanks for the link!

When I was in grade school forty years ago, we learned about Russia's government-sponsored, propagandic media that lied to its people.

Fox's "News", sponsored by the Republican Party & their corporate friends with deep pockets, are no different than the Russians. However, we have a choice: we can turn this fake news channel off & refuse to buy from its sponsors who give their blessing & dollars to this type of "news".

Wasn't it someone from DU that started this site? It doesn't really look like much has happened, when is that site supposed to be up? It has been a while.
