Take Action Against Racist Comments by O'Reilly
On the March 8 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly stated: "You know, in a sane world, every country would unite against Iran and blow it off the face of the earth. That would be the sane thing to do."

I got a wonderful, thoughtful and understanding email from esurance. It is inadequate for our purposes because it takes the "free speech" stand. But it was a kind and long response. I am thinking of an equally kind response explaining why free speech does not mean that we as individuals have to PATRONIZE people who are hateful and liars. I do not advocate legally banning what O'Reilly says. I DO advocate a boycott. But esurance is NICE.
We completely agree with free speech. Esurance has ever right to advertise where it wishes.
However, we also agree that we do not have to patronize businesses that support hosts and programs which distort facts, lie, threaten its listeners, and attempt to divide the nation -- for profit.
Thanks for writing. Keep up the efforts!
