If Rush and Hannity drop running ads for them, their business will tank.

YES !!

I have a system that texts ME. Time to sell alarm systems that the customer can be the monitoring service or direct the text or call to a family member or other personal choice. No reason to use big companies for monitoring with our high tech world.

Nice, if we can all keep looking for alternatives to companies that cave in to the leftists we can show them that they made a bad decision.

Darn, I was pricing out their stuff.
Oh well, we’re in a neighborhood where everyone has a bag O’guns, and I will NOT support liberal marshmallow ball-less companies.

But I really did want their stuff.

Pity.

I just ripped off an email to simplisafe telling them I don't give one cent to gun grabbing liberals. Folks it's important to contact these people and let them know how you feel.

Isn’t SimpliSafe one of Rush Limbaugh’s pets?

My bet is they simply caved to Masshole social pressure.

Yeah, that's probably exactly it. I've sat through meetings with (boston area university based ) startups making pitches to global companies tossing in random Trump jibes. The people around Cambridge _hate loathe and fear_ Trump and almost anything connected with evil republicans. Their world view can't even grasp that they would lose customers over this.

I would hope both Rush and Hannity take them to task for being two faced opportunists. You can have the best technology and still be a butthead org. is the lesson in this.

Don’t they advertise with Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck? Simply safe is definitely on MY boycott list now...

Thanks for understanding this matter in the same way I did in some of my early remarks.

This is going to have a bit of an impact on talk radio networks that have the big three - Rush Hannity Beck.

Especially with LifeLock breaking ties as well.

They all do endorsements for these products during the show.

This does really put them on the spot since I doubt the decision to take an account is based on the client having a relationship with the NRA.

I have feeling were going to be hearing a lot more “Spatula City” next week.

Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision
