Thank you guys so much for responding with your tremendous effort to see that these anti American comments were rebuked.

God bless everone who participated since yesterday, I am continually amazed at the power of FR and what we can to to make a difference.

Apologies are cheap. They must do all they can to cut themselves loose of the Blixie Chicks.

Now, they have to get rid of the pop-up ad for The Dixie Chicks tour, when you go to their website.

[Honcho Bongs]

This reads like a form letter to me. I see the Dixie Chicks are still featured prominently on their website too...

[Redcloak]

The Chicks have gone from being in hot water to hot tea!

[bmwcyle]

Keep the pressure on.

can you spell c-a-r-e-e-r o-v-e-r

[savedbygrace]

The website isn't loading all the way. Was there anything in the un-excerpted part that said they were dropping the clucks? Or is it pretty much full of non-committal words like the part you excerpted?

[Search4Truth]

So where is the rest of the letter. Can't find it on their site.

[Sunshine Sister]

I must have missed this. What happened?

[MississippiMan]

This is vague, generic garbage from Lipton. It does not apologize for the tour. It's more of a "well, we're sorry you didn't like it" statement.

Just trying to paint an accurate picture.

I hope no one seriously thinks Lipton is going to pull their sponsorship of the tour. First, they probably can't without owing the DC's millions. Secondly, no one outside FreeRepublic is going to remember it was Lipton six months from now(or less), and they(Lipton) certainly aren't going to lose an amount of sales that would hurt over this.

[to the core]

I just called them at 1-800-697-7887.

I talked with a lady who said she agreed with me and that they were working on a statement. I told her I hope their response went beyond a statement to action, because I was ready to do more than make a statement -- I was ready to take action against companies who sponsored such entertainers.

[SolutionsOnly]

This is encouraging...
But Please don't forget that Words are cheap! It's actions that count.

Here's the one I sent:

I am very upset at Lipton and Unilever for sponsoring an anti American entertainment group.

Even if they don’t agree with US policies they should not have done so on stage in a foreign country.

A country which is arming Saddam Hussein to kill my kids in battle!

I am telling everyone to not purchase Lipton and Unilever products.

Just to let everyone know how much Anti-DixiePig momentum there is out there a Shreveport,LA radio station is asking all of their listeners who are outraged to bring in their DixiePig CDs where they'll be piled up and destroyed by a bulldozer.

[TennTuxedo]

The Dixie Chicks record lable needs Freeping. They record under the Sony label.

I'm sure all you tough guys hiding behind your computer monitros are more than willing to call Emily, Marty and Natalie hateful names to the faces of their husbands.

Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
