CALL TO ACTION ALERT: US Weekly uses Down Syndrome Affected Trig to Sell Magazines

Macsmind ^

[Republican Red]

Disgusting. Here’s the cover of US Weekly featuring Sara Palin and her Down Synrome Affected Child, Trig.

Under the headline, “Sex, Lies and Scandal”, US Weekly - a magazine managed and edited by Jann Wenner, ultrapartisan Obama supporter. But the politics aside, this is simply unacceptable and I intend to call it to the attention of all parents of Down Sydrome children. If you want to make political hay - fine, but leave the children out of it.

This morning I’ve spoken with supermarkets Publix Supermarkets, Wynn Dixie and Albertsons located here in South Florida, as well as Walmart to ask if the issues be removed from the stands. I’ve so far received a positive response from Walmart and I’m waiting on responses from the other chains.

Do your part by visiting your local supermarkets and demand that the manager remove this offensive and abusive cover from their stands.

Additionally contact US Weekly: Us Letters, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104-0298, or e-mailed to: letters@usmagazine.com, or faxed to: 212-651-7890.

I’ve contacted the National Down Syndrome Society for a comment and I will update you when I hear something back.

Call to action!

They put “Babies” on the cover like babies are bad things.

WTF?

[Dr. Ursus]

The publisher: He’s a fag,Jim!

[library user]

I hope no one orchestrates a DDoS attack on their site, over all this.

That would be counterproductive, since there are about 3,000 comments and most of them are bashing US, rightly so.

Thank you for bringing to everyone's attention this outrageous type of reporting. I second Republican Red's suggestion that we contact our local vendors an respectfully request that they pull this issue as very offensive.

What’s the scandal? A teenager getting pregnant? Are we back in the Victorian Era?

Neoliberalism is truly a mental disorder.

Or evil.

Take your pick.

No wonder he hates babies.

Homosexuals only like babies when they can sexually molest them. Other than that, they have no use for them. Never forget how lesbians clamor for little girls and “gay” males want little boys as babies or little kids.

They put “Babies” on the cover like babies are bad things.

Well, isn't it a "scandal" that the Palins "lied" about their DS "baby" who their unwed underaged daughter gave birth to while already pregnant by her redneck boyfriend who btw as a full grown adult male should be brought up on charges for sexual relations with a minor?!? Afternoon soap operas can't hold a candle to the US Stinkly.

[Dr. Ursus]

Yea,it’s called recruiting!

[itsthejourney]

Ha, 91% of the poll says the pregnancy will not affect the vote and the 3000+ comments mostly slap down the magazine. Good job America!

Read about this ultimate betrayal of trust:

[and keep in mind that “they’re just like everybody else”]

[penelopesire]

90% say no right now! This is going to back-fire on the Obama Campaign and their handmaidens in Big Media!
