1. "Block" ALL A & E Programming(and ALL A & E Affiliates) on your cable/Satellite Box 2. Go to "http://duckcommander.com/store/" and buy something 3. Contact you cable/satellite provider and tell the WHY you are doing No 1 4. Consider DROPPING you cable/satellite service and go to internet "TV" Service 5. Send the "Robertson's" letters/cards of support 6. Contact "Bass Pro Shops" and ask them to drop support of A & E Prgramming.

Don’t get your reaction to dfwgator. Seems like a major over reaction to a reasonable comment.
A & E owns the show and the concept. No, the viewers need to let A & E know how they feel about it all.
buy at their website. not duck dynasty but duck commander
You mean like The History Channel used to be an actual History network?
They have a show called “Modern Dads” about “stay at home dads”. Just the kind of thing that all Leftists and Obama want more of.

It’s only hurting A&E since DD is the most popular show they have going. DD will have more supporters now than ever.
“Clearly identify the executives who made the decision.They must be held personally accountable as a strong example to other left wing censors.”
I am in full agreement with you. However, in practice, this is not such an easy thing to do.
Whether it be a TV network or a Fortune 500 company, the names of the executives who makes these decisions are never put out for public consumption.
Instead they’ll issue a generic press release that may or may not have the name of a PR contact at that firm. That person will take the heat for the decisions of the higher ups.
You can't hurt that family. That stupid TV show is not the most important thing to them. They don't exist for fame and fortune. I'll bet they wouldn't lose much sleep at all if the show went away. A&E needs them far more than DD family needs A&E.
I wouldn't worry about the DD family. They are the real deal American Family (values, hard work, ethics and faith) and would do just fine one way or another.
If the Robertson walk, they are going to own a big bag of nothing.
Good Idea....Delete the channel on your TV (watch only when DD is on).....Someone on FR posted a list of advertisers, so write them and say politely this is about free speech and not hate. If you want us to buy your products tell A&E ‘hands off.
They can’t walk because they have to finish out their contracts. Now, if the rest of the cast called the GQ reporter back to give him a piece of their mind and said the same thing as Phil did, A & E would have to let them all go. Then A & E would lose all of their advertisers for the show for sure.
They already own a fairly successful company.
Sent by a friend:

Headline of the Day Poll
What do you think about Phil Robertson’s views on homosexuality?
I’m glad he was fired. (40%)
I agree with him 100%. (35%)
He belongs in a re-education camp. (11%)
A&E was foolish to fire him. (10%)
I don’t know. (4%)
It just amazes me how much attention a reality show star gets while a tea party backed RNC committeeman is slowly squeezed over similar comments with virtually a peep coming from so called conservatives.
After all, the RNC only makes GOP policy and decides who the party backs.
