Visit our News page December 29, 2011 A LOWE'S UPDATE!! KEEP IT UP….YOUR VOICE IS BEING HEARD! Please Sign Our Petition TODAY! Dear Lee, Earlier this month, we rolled out a petition expressing support for Lowe's business decision to pull its advertisements from the TLC show, "All-American Muslim." We are confident that the majority of Americans agree with us that Lowe's is well within its right to pull an advertisement from any media outlet or production without the need for any explanation whatsoever. There is support for Lowe's on that principle alone. However, it's not surprise that a very vocal minority has been using their mastery of the politically correct media not only to denigrate Lowe's in order to elevate themselves, but to make an "example" of the company in order to intimidate other corporations and individuals. But they haven't been as successful as they had hoped. Lowe's is continuing to stand its ground. We are sure that the support and encouragement they've been receiving from people such as those who have signed our petition is one reason why. Last week we delivered over 30,000 names to Lowe's. Have you signed the petition yet? If so, have you forwarded it on to at least 5 other people you know? There is still time to take action! Here's an update on a few recent positive actions with regard to the Lowe's issue: When several pastors delivered petitions voicing opposition to Lowe's actions, they were surprised to be invited in to the company's headquarters to hear Lowe's side of the story. Afterward, the pastors acknowledged that they initially "responded to misinformation" by those orchestrating the petitions. (It has come to light that the petitions were orchestrated by far left groups and individuals like Think Progress and George Soros.) The meeting between the pastors and Lowe's went so well, in fact, that they had a joint press conference immediately afterward, where the pastors announced that they "respect their (Lowe's) business decision." See an article from the Charlotte Observer and one from the Mooresville Tribune for more information about this matter. Instead of listening to groups falsely claiming they represent most American Muslims, like CAIR, Lowe's has been smart enough to communicate with Muslim-Americans who truly represent their community. This has allowed Lowe's to successfully differentiate truths from falsehoods and CAIR's traditional scare tactics have, thus far, been unsuccessful. That being said, Islamist and left-leaning individuals and groups are continuing to put pressure on the Lowe's organization. It is CRITICAL that America speak out in support of Lowe's and thank them for standing their ground on this important issue. To-date, we have had over 37,000 people sign our Lowe's petition—but we need thousands more. We need to send a message both to Lowe's and to the Islamists in our nation that America will continue to defend the freedoms that make her great. Here at ACT! for America, we've made it clear to Lowe's that we will walk beside them every step of the way. Can we count on you to do the same? Please sign the petition today and then forward it on to every person you know who values our nation and its democratic freedoms. REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS! IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you receive all of your messages from ACT for America.
