I pointed out in my e-mail to Mervyn's that this was not a 1st amendment issue. They were free sponsor an agenda and I was free to spend my money elsewhere.

I have yet to hear for chevy and ford. I hand wrote them letter about their support of Maher and his antics. Lets keep up the pressure.

Excellent use of words to get your point across! Good work here with the others who contacted Mervyn's!

I like that phrase, "They were Free to sponsor an agenda, and I was free to spend my money elsewhere!"

I will modify that just a little for all of the so called conservatives in lust for Maher in their support for him on this board!

This is the reply that I received from Mervyns:

Dear XXXXX,

Thank you for contacting us.

I have spoken with a representative from our marketing department and have been notified that all Mervyn's commercials are being pulled from the "Politically Incorrect" time slot. We've also been told that we will not advertise during this show in the future. The comments Bill Maher made regarding the terrorist attacks were totally out of line and brutally insensitive to all Americans. We regret that Mervyn's name was associated with that and have taken the necessary steps to stop current and future advertising on that program.

We appreciate your being a valued Mervyn's guest.

Please visit us again at www.mervyns.com.
