WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS
A PROJECT OF THE AMERICAN
CONSERVATIVE UNION
Dear
Fellow Fox News fan,
Barack Obama wants to silence the Fox News channel [FNC]. I've enclosed these
two urgent WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS
petitions for you today because we must speak out to defend our most trusted
news source.
Over the past 4+ years the Obama administration has been waging a War on Fox News – and we are
just now starting to see the shocking evidence:
***
Obama's IRS is suspected of auditing Fox News staff, including host
of the "Five" Eric Bolling,
who claims: "I was audited after criticizing
Obama."
***
Obama's Justice Department
subpoenaed personal e-mail and phone records of at least two Fox News reporters
and one producer implying "criminal conspiracy."
Who knows
what else will come out in the coming days?
As you may remember, during
Obama's first term in the
White House he unleashed his liberal attack dogs on television in a deliberate
effort to discredit
Fox News as a fair and balanced news outlet.
>>>
Obama's
then Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, claimed: Fox News is "not a news organization . . ."
>>> Obama's
Senior Advisor David Axelrod, asserted:
Fox News is "not really a news station."
>>>
Obama's then Communications Director Anita Dunn, declared: Fox News is "not a
legitimate news operation."
But now, in light of recent events, it seems to
clearly be a coordinated effort to
silence anyone who dares to speak out against
Barack Obama's left-wing
agenda.
After failing in his 4-year campaign to marginalize
Fox News – Obama has been caught red-handed trying to intimidate and coerce Fox
News employees to stop doing their jobs.
It's an outrage that continues to get worse day after day.
Obama's actions are no different than those of a
playground bully who starts with petty name-calling and soon turns to his goons
to push you down and steal your lunch money when he doesn't get his way.
It's time to make a stand, my friend. Because bullies
only get their way until somebody is brave enough to stand up to them.
That's why your first WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS petition is addressed to Republican Speaker of
the House John Boehner – he needs to stand up to
Barack Obama!
By signing your first petition you'll demand Speaker
Boehner launch investigations and indict all of
Obama's cronies at the IRS and
Justice Department responsible for this Fox News shakedown.
Which brings me to the reason I've
enclosed a second WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS
petition for you today.
You see, ever since
Obama moved into the White House
his liberal allies at Media Matters have been waging a full-scale attack
targeting companies who advertise on the Fox News channel.
These liberal attacks forced Fox News to cancel Glenn
Beck's show after over 20 companies pulled their commercial advertising
dollars.
Without the advertising revenue needed to keep them on
the air, our favorite shows like "The O'Reilly Factor,"
"Hannity," and "Special Report with Bret Baier" could soon
be forced off the air. Or worse . . . Fox News could be off the air altogether!
We proud Americans who choose Fox News -- over MSNBC,
CNN, and the other liberal networks -- must band together to keep Fox News on
the air.
Our friends at Fox News are dependent on you and me to
be loyal viewers -- to patronize their sponsors and to make sure they aren't a
victim of political attacks by holding our representatives in Washington, DC accountable.
That's why your second WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS petition is addressed to companies who
advertise on Fox News programming. Your signed Petition will prove Americans
all across the country:
>>> Trust Fox News as their primary news
source.
>>> Believe Fox News is fair, balanced, and
unbiased.
>>> Support companies who advertise on Fox News.
So please don't delay, use the enclosed per-addressed
reply envelope I've included for you today to rush me back BOTH of your signed
Petitions within the next 48 hours.
Sean Hannity,
Bill O'Reilly, James Rosen and others on
Fox News need to be on the air.
Because they are the only network that dares to do REAL reporting to expose the dirty truth about
Barack Obama and his
liberal friends . . .
. . . from the scandals ‒ "Fast
& Furious" giving guns to
Mexican drug dealers, Benghazi
terrorist
attack, IRS targeting
conservatives, AP
phone tapping,
to this Fox News
shakedown.
That's why they are a thorn in
Barack Obama's side . . . and that's why
Barack Obama
won't rest until Fox News is off the air!
You and I both know Fox News is the only major news
network that has dared to be objective and challenge
Barack Obama's liberal
agenda.
Together we must stop
Obama and his liberal cohorts
from silencing Fox News.
Millions of Americans, myself
included, turn to Fox News for the real truth about what's going on in Washington and across the country.
That's why Fox News has consistently been the highest
rated news network in America!
And
I bet Fox News is your favorite news network too. But because Fox News refuses
to whitewash the truth about
Obama's liberal agenda . . . the network we love
to watch has been put on the White
House's "enemies list."
Our
allies at Fox News need us now more than ever! So please, sign and return your
two urgent [requested] WE SUPPORT FOX
NEWS petitions within the next 42 hours.
Obama's
two-front War on Fox must be put to an end by us conservatives. A strong public
outcry by 2 MILLION American Conservative Union activists will certainly strike
a major blow against Obama and his cronies at the Justice Department, IRS, and
Media Matters.
These
liberals are trying to intimidate & coerce Fox employees -- while at the
same time -- pressure companies into defunding Fox News programming by pulling
TV Ad revenue from shows like they did to "Glenn Beck."
No
matter how you look at it, make no mistake, this is government-sponsored
censorship plain and simple!
My
friend, we simply cannot let this happen!! Because without Fox News reporting
the truth behind
Obama's liberal lies . . . all that will be left will be the
liberal talking heads like Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, and Ed Schultz.
Will
you stand with me in this most important battle to defend Fox News being taken
off the air?
If
so, please take just a few moments to sign both of your WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS petitions and rush them back to me as soon as
you possibly can.
Once
you have done that I hope you will consider including a most generous one-time
gift of $28 to help support the American Conservative Union (ACU).
My
name is Al Cardenas and I'm the Chairman of the American Conservative Union.
Since
1964, ACU has led the fight on Capitol Hill and in the media to defending your
First Amendment right to freedom of speech . . .
. . .the same right
that has allowed FOX NEWS to deliver unbiased, real news to the American People
when the other
Obama-loving media lapdogs refuse to.
And
over the course of these last 49 years ACU has never received one dime of
government funds to help us defend all our God-given Constitutional rights
against big-government liberals like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack
Obama. And we never will.
But
that means we must continue to rely on stout-hearted Americans like you to
generously support our programs like this national WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS campaign. So what do you say?
I
pray you will support our efforts at ACU to defend Fox News and others with a
most generous one-time gift of at least $28 today.
Because
between printing, postage and processing charges it costs us 75-cents per
Petition. So your $28 today will help us print, stamp and send 37 WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS petitions to other
concerned Americans across the country tomorrow.
With
your generous help, this campaign to defend Fox News will reach over 2 million
proud Americans.
A
strong public outcry from over 2,000,000 outraged Americans will surely get
Speaker Boehner's attention and alert him to the need for investigations and
indictments against the
Obama administration's abuses power in their
politically motivated attack on FOX NEWS and the FIRST AMENDMENT.
And
such a massive public response will undoubtedly lead major American companies
to "think twice" before pulling their advertising from Fox News
programming.
I
know times are tough these days and many people cannot afford to spare $28. If
that is the case, please try to send in $25 or even $20.
But if you have been blessed with the ability to give
a larger gift of as much as $4,000 -- that would truly be a Godsend -- allowing
ACU to reach more than 5,333 Americans from all across the country.
All
I ask is that you send in what you can at this time. Whether that's $28, $56,
$128, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,000, $4,000 -- only you can decide for yourself.
Remember,
the more you give today the more people our WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS petition campaign will be able to reach
tomorrow.
My
friend, the decision is yours: Will you generously support our work at the
American Conservative Union as we fight to defend the fair and balanced folks
on the Fox News channel?
Or
will you sit on the sidelines and watch as "The O'Reilly Factor,"
"Hannity," "Special Report with Bret Baier" and all your
favorite Fox News programming is forced off the air?
I'm
eagerly awaiting your reply.
Yours
Truly,
Al
Cardenas, Chairman
American
Conservative Union (ACU)
P.S.. Our friends at the Fox News channel [FNC] have come under attack
from Barack Obama's White House, Justice Department, IRS, and liberal allies at
Media Matters. With your support we can win this most important battle to
protect our favorite and most trusted news network.
Please sign your [requested] TWO WE SUPPORT FOX NEWS petitions and
rush them back to me using the enclosed per-addressed reply envelope.
And please don't forget to
include your very best one-time gift of $28 or more to ACU to help fund this
important campaign (ACU, P.O. Box 96090, Washington, D.C. 20090).

DON'T DROP FOX NEWS
A PROJECT OF THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE
UNION
CPAC
2013
Dear Fellow Conservative,
If
you're outraged that in this critical year
Obama-supporting liberals have
launched a guerilla war aimed at shutting down Fox News then I need your help
and fast.
Please
complete and return your [requested] enclosed DON'T DROP FOX NEWS Immediate Action Survey within the next 48
hours.
Right
now, the
pro-Obama liberals at Media
Matters are working to destroy the only fair and balanced television news
channel on the air.
How?
The Media
Matters liberals have undertaken a massive "DROP FOX" campaign
aimed at pressuring companies who advertise on Fox News into pulling their
commercials off Fox News programming.
In
fact, according to the Washington Times: Fox News Channel's [FNC] "Glenn Beck
Show" was dropped largely because it had ". . . suffered
financially due to an advertiser boycott" which was orchestrated
by liberals at Media Matters.
Without
the necessary advertising money to support its worthwhile programming, the Fox
News Channel could be forced to cut more shows or even go off the air all
together.
As a
conservative, I know you understand why we absolutely cannot allow these
liberals to achieve their goal of forcing Fox News to shut down.
That's
why here at the American Conservative Union we are undertaking an even larger
nationwide DON'T DROP FOX NEWS
campaign.
So
please, take just one moment to complete your DON'T DROP FOX NEWS Immediate Action Survey and rush it back to me
using the pre-addressed reply envelope I've sent you today.
As
an independent media organization the Fox News Channel is rightly focused on
providing its many viewers, like you and me, with hard-hitting, fact-based,
news stories . . .
. . . not the liberal bias, white-washed,
pro-Obama messaging you'll see on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, PBS, . . . the list goes on and on.
Fox
News should not have to divert its time and resources away from its
award-winning journalism to defend itself from the millions of dollars worth of
negative and malicious attacks the Media Matters liberals are bombarding
against them.
As Sean Hannity recently put it: the
Media Matters liberals " . . . want to infiltrate Fox News . . . and
follow us in our private lives in hopes of taking out people . . . to hurt
people specifically because [they] disagree with them."
That's
why your support of our DON'T DROP FOX
NEWS campaign is so critical. I stand ready to fight for Fox News and I
hope you do.
My
goal is to collect DON'T DROP FOX NEWS
Immediate Action Survey responses from 10 Million American Patriots.
So
that the next time the Media Matters liberals target another Fox News
advertiser with their anti-Fox News campaign we can unleash an even larger
pro-Fox News response.
Once
I receive your immediate action Survey I will begin to tabulate your responses
along with many others from like-minded conservative Americans across the
country and be ready to dispatch the results at a moments notice.
Time
is not on our side, my friend. So don't delay, sign and rush back your DON'T DROP FOX NEWS Immediate Action
Survey within the next 48 hours.
Sadly
this liberal "Drop Fox" campaign is just step number one in what
Media Matters founder and CEO David Brock calls a multi-channel "War on
Fox."
According
to recent reports, Media
Matters already has or is planning to:
** Hire a
team of "trackers" to stake out private and public events with Fox
News anchors, hosts, reporters, prominent contributors and senior corporate
staff.
** Harass Fox News employees with yard signs in
their neighborhoods and by sending "anti-Fox News literature" to
employees' homes.
** Employ private investigators to dig into the
personal lives of Fox News staff and retain a major law firm to study legal
action against the network.
** Establish a "front group" of shareholders
to target Fox News parent company News Corporation by passing subversive
resolutions at shareholder meetings.
** Publish an anti-Fox News book entitled
"The Fox Effect."
** Discredit and Embarrass Fox News by convincing
liberal director Michael Moore to make a documentary about the network.
After
claiming to takedown Glenn Beck -- Media Matters #1 Enemy on Fox News is now
our good friend Sean Hannity.
As Hannity himself
put it: "They don't want alternative voices heard in the media,"
Media Matters is using the "politics of personal, real personal
destruction . . . that is
frightening."
Together
you and I must draw the line in the sand against these Media Matters liberals
today.
My
name is Al Cardenas and I'm the Chairman of the American Conservative Union
(ACU). As America's conservative voice since 1964, ACU has led the
fight for lower taxes, limited government, more individual liberty, pro-family
traditional values and a strong national defense.
And
over the last 49 years, we've fought and won many battles against left-wing
liberals in the White House, the Congress, the Courts, and in the media.
But
all that hard work and success could soon be thrown out the door if the Media
Matters liberals win their WAR ON FOX.
Without
Fox News helping us shine a glaring light upon
Barack Obama's underhanded
socialist agenda our country will be driven further down the ditch of Big
Government socialism.
So
please, once you've completed your [requested] DON'T DROP FOX NEWS immediate action Survey I hope that you will
also please consider including a most generous one-time $28 contribution.
Your
$28 contribution today will allow us to print, mail, collect, bundle, and
deliver 36 DON'T DROP FOX NEWS
immediate action Surveys tomorrow.
Before
long our DON'T DROP FOX NEWS
immediate action Survey campaign we will reach 10 million like-minded
conservatives across the country.
A
massive pro-Fox public outcry from 10 million Americans will most definitely
send a strong message to leading American companies who are under pressure to
stop advertising on the Fox News Channel. So what do you say?
Will
you generously support your conservative allies at ACU as we rise
up against the Media Matters liberals with our nationwide DON'T DROP FOX NEWS campaign?
I'm
praying your answer is a loud and resounding YES! and
you will support ACU today by completing your [requested] enclosed Immediate
Action Survey and including a most generous contribution of at least $28.
And
remember, because billionaire-Obama-backer
George Soros and MoveOn.org are pouring
millions of dollars into the coffers of Media Matters to further expand their
"War on Fox" your allies at the American Conservative Union must have
the funds on hand to counter these liberal thugs.
So
if you are in a position to give a contribution of $50, $100, $250, $500, or
even $1,000 to help the ACU expand our pro-Fox efforts in the liberals
"War on Fox" I pray that you will.
As
you may already know, the American Conservative Union has always been a friend
of the Fox News Channel.
In
fact, over the years many Fox News hosts and contributors such as Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palm, Mike
Huckabee, Rush Limbaugh, and Rick Santorum have all spoken at our annual
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Now
that our friends on Fox News are under attack by well-funded liberals it is
only right that we conservatives stand up and fight once again.
Can
I count on your help in this fight? If so, please remember to complete and rush
back your DON'T DROP FOX NEWS
Immediate Action Survey along with your very best contribution of $28, $50,
$100, $250, $500, or more within the next 48 hours.
I'll
be on the lookout for your response in my mailbox in the next few days. Conservatively yours, Al Cardenas, Chairman American Conservative
Union (ACU).
P.S.
Liberals have launched a multi-million-dollar "War on Fox" and their
first point of attack is a massive "Drop Fox" campaign targeting
American companies who advertize on the Fox News Channel.
Please join your allies at
the American Conservative Union today as we unleash an even larger DON'T DROP FOX NEWS counter-campaign by
completing and returning the [requested] enclosed Immediate Action Survey along
with a $28 or more contribution to help directly fund this critical effort (ACU, P.O. Box 96090, Washington, D.C.
20090).
Many thanks and God Bless.
