I'm sending the following email:
>How could you possibly continue to support CBS's 60 minutes? The show has no objectivity, and your advertising dollars might as well be donations to the Democratic Party. I hope all conservatives and supporters of the President of the country during a time of war will remember that your product helps support attacks on the President masquerading as news stories.
Thanks for nothing.<

Subject: Due to Your Support of 60 Minutes Lies I Quit as a Customer
CC: customer-service@homedepot.com, diane_dayhoff@homedepot.com
Gentlemen,
I purchase around $1,000 to $2,000 a year from Home Depot
for home and for my business.
Due to your advertising support for 60 Minutes continued
panning of our President, and most particularly due to the
recent episode using visibly forged documents to criticize
George Bush's National Guard service, Sears and Lowe's will
now get all of my business instead.
You chose Rather and 60 Minutes; I choose to no longer purchase
from your corporation as a result.
BTW, this is part of a national boycott now being organized
on the internet. I am not the first of your customers to walk
and I will clearly not be the last.
I suggest that you take this issue up with Rather and 60 minutes;
not me.
Good bye,

Dear Tammy,
Thank you for contacting homedepot.com!
We sincerely appreciate hearing from all of our customers and we thank you for your feedback and concerns.
As far as our advertising policy is concerned, for competitive business reasons The Home Depot advertises on programs that are most popular with the viewing public. We work hard to avoid programs that are inconsistent with our values, but as you probably know, it is impossible to preview content of any program prior to its broadcast.
The Home Depot is committed to building stronger communities. We are proud of our long tradition of supporting organizations working in the areas of affordable housing, disaster preparedness, at-risk youth and the environment. Over the last 12 years, The Home Depot has contributed nearly $200 million and tens of millions of volunteer hours to worthwhile causes.
We hope this answers your concerns. Thank you, again, for sharing your comments. We appreciate hearing from all of our customers.
Thank You,
Chris S
