OK, gang. We're seeing the railroading of Phil Robertson for the high crime of professing his faith in response to a direct question.
1. We need to overwhelm A&E with support for Phil. Here's the email I sent to feedback@aenetworks.com. . .
To whom it may concern:
Apparently, A&E Networks find it objectionable that Phil Robertson, when asked a direct question, gave a direct answer and referenced the teachings of his faith.
For his honesty, which, frankly, is one of the charms of "Duck Dynasty", you've decided to put Phil on hiatus.
Well, I've put A&E on hiatus. AND, I've also put buying products and services advertised on A&E on hiatus, and will be informing each and every one of your advertisers of the fact. I'm sure that Wal-Mart, amongst others, will be in touch about that. . .
You might remember the Chik-fil-A brouhaha, and how that worked out. . . .
2. We need to execute the "Rakolta Technique": that is, we need a list of advertisers and products advertised on A&E, and then contact each and every sponsor promising NOT to buy their products UNTIL Phil Robertson returned to "Duck Dynasty". . .
Feedback ? Suggestions
However, I support diversity, freedom, and liberty. Really support them, not just the liberal agenda wrapped in those terms. So when hypocrites hammer someone for actually having a different opinion or outlook on life than they do... Well, that makes me mad. By your actions A&E you have shown you are not fair, that you do not in fact support diverse opinions, and that you are not worthy of my time.
So advertisers on A&E take note. I will not be watching "Duck Dynasty" - even if they retract their previous cowardly actions. I won't be watching anything on A&E. If "Duck Dynasty" moves to another network, well, I may just watch a few episodes. Might even start to like it.
Lesson #1: Do not be interviewed by the Left if you are a true follower of Jesus without expecting treatment such as this.
Lesson #2: Be assured that as a follower of Jesus, you have already won every victory, and your mansion in Heaven is waiting for you at the end of this short time on earth.
If you have a duck call, phone them, give them a quack, and hang up.

As it has been all along. They have said many times before the producers edit out "in Jesus name" during their prayers.
They have taken the view in the past, they will use the platform to get out the message that they can. And I believe because of the compromises they have accepted so far, they have gotten more of their Godly views out to many that would never have been reached.
But I don't pretend to guess how they will go forward from here.
Regarding your second sentence in your first paragraph: No. They are doing what they wanted to do, we are doing what we want to do. We also have the right to make our views known to them. We also have the right, at this point in time, to watch what we please. We are saying to them, If you value our patronage, reinstate Phil. If you do not value our patronage, continue his suspension. We will go elsewhere. We will find other sponsors to spend our money with. Your call. One way of the other, we will al be happy, happy, happy.

Just to repeat an earlier post. This store above apparently doesn’t subsidise the network.
:D
What would happen if they told A&E to shove it? Are there not greener pastures about?
The Phil’s boys/Si need to “walk” ..... no Phil, no show.
As for Phil, the Bible has a message for him:
Matthew 5:10-12
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Duck Dynasty is the A&E branding. Do not buy Duck Dynasty...simply go out to the website below to directly support those folks.

And BTW...I know some of you don't "like" Facebook...but it is a great vehicle to spread your conservative opinions...and you must remember...if you aren't there giving the RIGHT opinion...the lefties will certainly be there to fill the void.
So it’s A&E who is really “homophobic”. The homosexual mafia has got them scared to death.
As a matter of principle, I don’t see how Phil can go back to the show. A&E has shown it’s true colors and those colors are against his beliefs and against his Constitutional rights. I predict the rest of the family will back him today and quit the show.
A&E and Lifetime are owned by the same company. It’s gay from start to finish.

Headline: A & E Suits Demand that Phil Robertson Lie to Appease Thin-Skinned Homos.
I've read it. I disagree.:-)
“Would suggest fans bring duck calls to NFL games this weekend and let loose.”
PERFECT idea. We should buy cheap duck calls and give them again at the entrances to stadiums. This would cause a spectacle they’d be unable to ignore. Duck calls could be the new vuvuzela........
