DODGE AND FIAT MUST NOT ADVERTISE ON AL JAZEERA TV OR A BOYCOTT WILL ENSUE


Please urge Dodge-Fiat to stop advertising on Al Jazeera America.
Florida Family Association sent out the email below late Tuesday night.  Thousands of people sent the prepared email or modified it to their liking that urged Dodge-Fiat corporate and dealership officials to stop advertising on Al Jazeera America.

Thank you.
Dodge-Fiat is leading advertiser on Al Jazeera America aka CurrentTV.  Click here to send your email to 11 corporate officials and 100 dealership.
It appears that Al Jazeera may have played a fast one on Florida Family Association.  Advertisements for five automakers stopped airing on February 25, 2013.  This was the deadline date that Florida Family Association gave three automakers, including Dodge-Fiat, before reporting them as top advertisers.  No advertisements appeared for more than a week for any one of these automakers.  Florida Family Association erroneously assumed that since their ads stopped airing on the deadline date that they had pulled their advertising.  Al Jazeera America may have done this on purpose hoping that Florida Family Association would publish erroneous information.  Florida Family Association will be extremely careful in the future when reporting the names of companies that pull their advertising.

The combination of Dodge Dart II and Fiat advertisements makes the company a leading advertiser on Al Jazeera America.  Fiat owns a majority share in Chrysler Group LLC which is the parent company of Dodge.  Reckitt Benckiser continues to be a top advertiser.  

Florida Family Association sent out an email alert on January 14, 2013 which reported that Al Jazeera, the Arabic news cable channel headquartered in the Middle East (Doha, Qatar), purchased the CurrentTV channel which has the potential of reaching millions of viewers in the United States.   Al Jazeera America is the new, tentative name for CurrentTV.  Al Jazeera is the mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood and Arab Spring.  The Muslim Brotherhood is the single largest promoter of the radical Islamist movement in the world.  Nothing less should be expected to come from Al Jazeera’s access to cable viewers in America.
Since there are so few mainstream advertisers on Al Jazeera America and very few new advertisers, Florida Family Association plans to deal with the individual companies instead of grouping them together.  Americans, true Americans, need to know which companies are supporting Al Jazeera America.  Profiling each top advertiser one at a time accomplishes that educational need.
Dodge and Fiat certainly have the right to choose where they spend their advertising dollars.  You have the same right to object and buy cars elsewhere. 
Now is the time to voice concern over the new ownership of this channel.  Not after the new program content starts airing and companies fear reprisal.  Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to Dodge and Fiat corporate and dealership officials. 
This email will be sent to 11 corporate officials.  The email will also be sent to general managers, owners and sales managers at approximately 100 Fiat and Dodge dealerships.  Automotive dealerships benefit directly from the advertising dollars spent by their automaker.  The sale of cars at dealerships is the source of money for these automaker advertisements.  Don’t let any dealership try to convince you that they have nothing to do with advertising.
