Glenn Beck Advertiser Boycott - TAKE ACTION!
Submitted by RP 2008 on Wed, 11/14/2007 - 02:51On 11/12/2007, Glenn Back implied that any person who supports Ron Paul is a terrorist. Yes...that is a complete misrepresentation of the facts, but this just means we are now in the attack phase of the campaign. Given the current state of our media we will likely see alot more reporters purposefully attempting to misguide the public about the message of Ron Paul and his supporters just because we are a real threat now.

The best way to deal with this is not to attack Beck or CNN...we all know they are just trolling for attention. Beck's show has been sliding in the ratings, and its time to put the final nail in the coffin. Take 5 minutes out of your day, and contact any of the following companies...and tell them you'll boycott their products until they pull their advertisement from Beck's program.
We need to make an example out of Beck, for all future talking heads that will dare call Americans terrorists just because they are supporting Ron Paul. Some posters have suggested Glenn Beck should be fired/forced to resign for his statements. I agree. Glenn Beck should be fired/forced to resign. You may demand this of CNN, and inform his advertisers of the same.

They are all scared of a man that speaks the truth for a change.
The msnbc politics boards are awash with Ron Paul haters. They can't get their heads around what he's proposing. Not that it's complicated!
Glenn Beck
Don't know if video is posted elsewhere but I think it is one that all Ron Paul supporters should definitely see and pass on. The young man in this video tells it like it is. Tell him thank you, I Did.

I'd love to tell the man thank you, but youtube hasn't mailed me my confirmation message yet. I've tried several times, over several days; it says it's been sent, but it never gets to me. I've checked the bulk/spam folder, not there either. It's frustrating not being able to comment on the great vids I've seen!

Inverse Logic
If they know you are watching, then it increases their marketing potential.
There are formulas for determining how many write letters and they represent a certain about of other people.
Anyway, the more "feed back" you give these people the more they know people are watching. Then they pacify people by responding with, "It's not our fault. We just buy a generic time slot."
Stop feeding the animals. If we ignored Beck he'd fade away.
I wish they picked up Jerry Doyle instead.
if thats so
then why dont they ignore us.
cause it's a friviliouse case.
to sit and do nothing, gets you nowhere.

Dont you think all this boycotting...
Dont you think all this boycotting could be better spent on working on Dec 16th...
do both
how much time does it take to pick up the phone to ten advertisers...I did....and they are ALL aware of this and said they would pass it onto the board. Do EVERYTHING you can and put your money where your mouth is on the 16th and register republican and vote in the primaries. Fight on all fronts!
Please be polite at all
Please be polite at all times. When I listen to Beck, I hear a guy who kinda likes Ron Paul, but isn't sure what to think of him (and is kind of feeling obligated to attack him since so many others are). He's not a sworn enemy and has actually said some postive things about RP.
Let's not create another enemy here with rudeness. Boycot if you feel it's necessary, but all correspondence should be SUPER POLITE!!

Fight lies with TRUTH
I went to the "freinds of bill" website and printed the 6 pages on three sheets of paper then cut the pages in half and staple the 6 half-sheets together to make a little book. I pass this out to demos. It tells of the 47 Clinton associates that died to keep bill in bimbos and hitlery in steroid face cream. Google Ambassador Leo Emil Wanta and you will find a fine primer on Clinton-Bush money laundering by Sherman Skolnick (may he rest in peace) this may be shared with sheeple. Print out some pictures of Ghouliani in drag and hand them out to repugs. The Peter Paul and Stan Lee fund raising video is also revealing as to Hitlery shenanigans.
Coverage of Whitewater may be easily found and distributed to refresh the memory of the older set and inform those who were too young to remember it. Mena is a word CNN shills dont bring up at the debates, thats where we can help them do a more thorough job informing the public. The Clinton-Bush-Ghouliani crime spree has left a trail of looting,death and destruction that we can use to expose them for what they truly are. Shout it from the housetops people! Let Beck tell lies, we must spread the truth and wake the sheeple from their slumber.
also
you left out hitlerys fine of 200 grand for securitys violations and another fine for campain contribtuion violations.
lets not forget they sold the white house, lincolns bed and allowed top china communist unfetered acess to the white house and seceret documents.

My Letter to Honda
November 16, 2007
To:
Ann Hartl
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
RE: Honda Advertising on Glenn Beck, CNN Show
To Whom It May Concern:
I’ve been driving Hondas since I was able to legally drive. That's 14 years and 5 Hondas/Acuras. I just leased the most recent this past September – a silver TL Type S. Man do I love that car! My Mom and sister-in-law both drive a TL, my Dad just bought his second MDX, my sister drives the CR-V and my brother-in-law has the Element. Yes, we’re a proud and satisfied Honda family and we have been for many years. However, this wonderful relationship is threatened by Honda because of where it spends its advertising dollars. Let me be clear.
I WILL END THIS RELATIONSHIP IMMEDIATELY IF HONDA DOES NOT PULL ITS ADVERTISING ON GLENN BECK’S SHOW ON CNN.
He recently accused supporters of Dr. Ron Paul as being terrorists. My family supports Ron Paul for President. This outrageous and offensive insult has angered and embarrassed me and all those that support Dr. Ron Paul. If Honda continues to support such sickening, anti-American, freedom hating individuals such as Glenn Beck I will discontinue my family's relationship with Honda. I will also ensure my friends and colleagues steer clear.
Please do the right thing and disassociate yourself with Glenn Beck and let me go back to loving my Honda in peace.
Thank you
glenn beck is terrorist by definition isn't he?
Terrorism
"The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person
or an organized group against people or property with the intention of
intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for
ideological or political reasons."
Doesn't he fit the definition by his statements?
Wall Street Journal
Hey RP 2008,
How'd that interview with the Wall Street Journal turn out? Did it ever get published or used that you know of? It would be REALLY COOL to see a link to any follow up you have about it.
You told us about it in this forum:
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/6726
I'M SO PSYCHED UP TO SEE THE INTERVIEW!!!!!
Hey whats up?
I am psyched to see it also!!! On Friday 11/9, when she e-mailed me, and I was interviewed on the phone for 47 minutes, the journalist told me it would be out in a couple of days. Here is a copy of the e-mail she sent me minus the contact information for the journalist:
"I’m working on a story about Ron Paul and his online support and saw some of the things you’ve been posting on DailyPaul and MySpace. I’d like to talk to you for the story, if you have a few minutes. When would be a good time for me to contact you?
Thanks for considering the request,
XXXXXXXXXXXX"
I called her again this Wednesday, 11/14, and I said "When is it coming out?" and she said "It will be out in a couple days." I said, "Can you call me or send me a copy when it comes out?" She seemed kind of nervous and said, "Yes, I will contact you and let you know." Now, I don't know if she is scared to print it, and is holding off or what the deal is. What I do know is that I checked her name on Google, and the name she gave, and the e-mail she sent me is really from a person who works at the Wall Street Journal. I am psyched to see the article, too! I will definitely keep you posted. In any case, I have all of her contact information, so if for some reason there is a delay in the article coming out, or if the article is not printed I can at least contact the reporter and find out why it wasn't printed or did not issue. Based on her word though, it should be out in a couple of days. I have my fingers crossed. :)
The Secret Back Door
Plan B.2 - Draft the Good Doctor
Would you like to guarantee Dr. Ron Paul appears on the 2008 Presidential ballot?
But why do we need a guarantee? The establishment wouldn’t try to cheat the Good Doctor, Heavens no. He will win the Republican nomination fair and square.
When the establishment refused to allow Dr. Paul to participate in the Iowa forum,
locked his supporters out of the Texas straw poll,
changed the rules for primary voting in New Hampshire,
Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, West Virginia,
and tried to exclude him from the Michigan Debates …
those were just flukes, errors, aberrations … right?
And FOX is “Fair and Balanced.”
There is a way to insure Our Chance to Restore the Republic.
Open the backdoor. Become a delegate to the Libertarian Party Convention.
Go online and Join the Libertarian Party [www.lp.org] before December 31st, 2007. A basic Sustaining Membership http://www.lp.org/organization/bylaws.shtml (Article 5) costs only $25 dollars.
The LP Convention will be held May 22-28 at the Adams Mark Hotel - Denver, Colorado.
Am I suggesting that you change your Republican Party affiliation?
Absolutely not!
I am saying we should play the political game and hedge our bets for Dr. Paul.
The Libertarian Party already has ballot status on nearly every state in the nation.
If you are an Independent join at http://www.lp.org/members/newmember.shtml
If you are a Republican join at http://www.lp.org/members/newmember.shtml
If you are a Democrat join at http://www.lp.org/members/newmember.shtml
If you are a Libertarian (75%+ of you already support Dr. Paul) then for crying out loud renew your membership at http://www.lp.org/members/newmember.shtml
If you are an Independent, Republican, or Democrat and you are hesitant to join the Libertarian Party then
support Dr. Paul today by hedging the bet for 2008 and don’t renew in 2009.
This is about doing the
Big Thing the Right Thing - Right NOW!
We the People have shown we will come out in force for the Good Doctor
and the Secret Plan is very simple. (It’s cleverly hidden below.)
The “Secret Plan:”
1) Swarm the LP convention,
2) Make one by-law change like so,
ARTICLE 12: PRESIDENTIAL AND VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
2. No candidate may be nominated for President or Vice-President who is ineligible under the United States Constitution, who has not expressed a willingness to accept the nomination of the Party, or who is not a member of the Party.
3) Nominate or “Draft” Dr. Paul,
4) “Officially” announce Ron Paul’s nomination AFTER the Republican National Convention.
Rationale:
American politics has become an empty theater devoted only to concentrating power for an anointed few. The evidence of that are the constant attacks on Dr. Paul’s campaign. The fact that Dr. Paul dominates straw polls nationwide yet is maligned by the establishment and in the media is almost a footnote.
If we the people retain the mechanism to nominate Dr. Paul then the establishment loses its control over the process. They cannot simply dismiss Dr. Paul without running the risk of having their candidate hijacked.
Imagine … the people controlling the process. That’s pretty democratic.
Imagine … restoring the republic. That’s pretty republican.
Imagine … following the Constitution. That’s pretty libertarian.
Everybody wins!
Either way it's good for the Constitution, good for America, good for Dr. Paul, and good for us because we the people would finally have a man we can all vote for and know we are doing the right thing. We simply have to beat the establishment at its own game.
Besides, Dr. Paul might actually appear twice on ballots.
Worse things could happen.

Spam alert...
How many threads are you going to spam with this cut and pasted argument?
Look, you make valid points but this has NOTHING to do with the Glenn Beck issue. I've read at least three threads tonight with your cut and paste nonsense tacked on, and it's reaching the point where you can accurately be called a spammer.
Start your own thread. Hold the discussion on this issue there. But if you keep putting this in unrelated threads, I'm going to advocate that you be banned as a spammer.

TWO TOES UP FROM D.A.
Agree - stop spamming with this article, enough is enough..
wrong answer
I tell the Libertarian and Constitution Party members that try to recruit members in my meetup groups that they are not welcome. Ron Paul has said he is not going to run as a 3rd party candidate especially not until the Republican primary is decided. So for right now the Libertarians and CP activists are our competitors. They compete with us in primary votes, grassroots support, and donations.
So until the LP and CP drop their conventions and fully endorse Ron Paul they need to just get out of the way...
not even close
As an LP officer, I find that take offensive, separatist, and fallacious.
Over 70% of LP members support Dr.Paul. Not all of them are in RP meetups, and very few are recruiting within meetups.
Similar numbers for the CP as well.
The LP does not compete against others for primary votes in all states, only those with open primaries. Fankly, the LP candidates this time around suck. There is a large undercurrent of LP members behind Dr. Paul, and the LP orgnaization itself cannot endorse him per state-by-rules at the moment.
Remember also that Dr. Paul became a life member of the LP in 1988.
If you understood anything on this you'd know that both LP and CP members have to follow their own bylaws to maintain their own delegate status for both their state conventions and the national convention, and that maintaining such actually helps cement Dr. Paul getting those nominations should he be denied the GOP nomination by whatever shenanignans will be up. That will carry Dr.Paul through to the general election whether the GOP nominates him or not.
Bjneiman, I suggest you get outside the box and see what's really going in terms of the LP, CP, and Dr. Paul. The LP and CP are not enemies and potentially very important allies. It is unwise to alienate us.
