If Freepers cancel their subscriptions to any newspaper that back Kerry and send their monthly savings to Free Republic. That is a triple whammy against the fish wrap.
1. They lose subscribers and subscriber $'s.
2. This will negatgively impact their ad $'s
3. They will know that their worse enemy, Free Republic will be receiving each month what used to be their monthly payment.
4. Send copies of your cancellation letter to key/big time local advertisers.
Send the newspaper editor a letter before the election of your intent. If they back Kerry, then follow through. Cancel your subscription and make a monthly donation to Free Republic = to your monthly fishwrap subscription cost.
Amen. It's time we stop financing our enemies. It's like France selling weapons to Iraq. We are paying for the gallons of ink and rolls of papaer that are used to denigrate our positions, candidates and ideology. Why pay someone to punch you in the face when they will do it for free?
Excellent post, Grampa Dave.
Our local paper so far has not endorsed anyone but, if they ever endorsed Kerry, we'd drop them in an instant and give them the reason why.
We live in a Republican county, so I don't expect that to happen, but one must remain vigilant.
