Because of your efforts, NBC cancels 'Book of Daniel'
Dear (just received this through e-mail),
NBC's anti-Christian program The Book of Daniel has been cancelled! Your efforts, combined with those of hundreds of thousands of other AFA Online supporters, had an impact.
NBC's decision to pull The Book of Daniel shows the power of the pocketbook. NBC didn't want to eat their economic losses. Had NBC not had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired, NBC would have kept The Book of Daniel on the air. Because of your efforts, the sponsors dropped the program. NBC then decided it didn't want to continue the fight.
Even an impassioned plea by Daniel's producer Jack Kenny could not match your participation. "Ordinarily, I would never ask anyone to do this, but the AFA and bullies like them are hard at work to try and prevent you from seeing these beautiful shows, and that is censorship—pure and simple. And that is both un-Christian and un-American," Kenny wrote. His attitude is typical in today’s society. Non-Christians telling Christians what is Christian.
People like Kenny don't want people like you to have a voice. They want to deny you the right to get involved. You are supposed to sit back and take the trash. And when you do speak up they call you names.
This shows us that we don't have to simply sit back and take the trash, but we can get involved and fight back with our pocketbooks. I want to thank the 678,394 individuals who sent emails to NBC and the thousands who called and emailed their local affiliates.
Thanks for caring enough to get involved!
Finally, if you think our work is deserving of support, would you please send a small donation to help us continue. Click here.
Sincerely,
Don
Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association

Well, no offense, but note to Nielsen: Folks in metro areas don't really represent my tastes in TV any more than they do my politics. And I don't think I'm alone in that respect.
"I hope they lost lots of $$$$$$"
No doubt they did!
Good to hear...what's that old saying....bullsh*t walks money talks...it's all about that old mighty bucko...
Thanks, I loved "The Apostle". Duval was great in it and I never knew he was (at least somewhat) conservative!
Amen to that.
The ONLY time many people seem to care about Christianity, including a dedicated handful on this forum, is when they point out what a poor job someone who identifies them self as Christian is doing of demonstrating their beliefs...usually inadvertently demonstrating their own complete lack of understanding of what living the Christian life is about.
I did the same as well as not watch it.
G.I.G.O. ! Don't need more garbage in my life nor will I support it.
It's typical leftist rhetoric with no substance.
Heck they want give awards to good movies like Narnia even when they are hemorrhaging financially. Hollywood is totally void of reality. They don't get it. They don't relate to normal people. Their lifestyle is that of Sodom and Gomorrah - that's what they understand. They now want you to either relate to it or laugh at it. Laughing at it makes it difficult to get angry at it or take it seriously - but luckily many are not being fooled - they have some boundaries.
#164 Yup!
I'd be curious to see the ratings. I suspect that is more of the cause than the boycott. A boycott by Christians would incline NBC to keep it on the air just to claim they are standing up to censorship.
If done properly it can be extremely accurate.
As a Catholic, I can't imagine voting Democrat. I often argue with various other Catholics I know.
I worked very hard in Catholic Outreach for the RNC last time and I intend to do it again. We passed out flyers to our fellow Catholics titled "Vote Your Values". Life is what it's all about. Unfortunately, when pressed, you get those who are inclined to vote Democratic to admit they really are not pro-Life.
These are the Catholics who need to find another Church, pronto!!
Like that's ever stopped Wildmon from claiming credit.
How accurately? About as accurate as any other "push poll"...

Not exactly. Madalyn O'Hair was pre-Charlie Brown Christmas, by almost a decade. But it *was* a different age, back then. The moral rot we see all around us today, was at that time, just really beginning, and those who pushed it were a tad more circumspect about it than they are today.
This was the time when "All in The Family" was ruling the roost, but it didn't have quite the effect Norman Lear was looking for. His hope was that the American public would recoil in horror and disgust at Archie Bunker, to follow his *benevolent* guidance to the socialist utopia. Instead, people actually started to identify with Archie.
While the "social engineers" of Hollywood have been fighting for decades to "shape their utopia" over the public airwaves, they've never enjoyed the complete victory they sought, and still seek today. May that "victory" always elude them, and may they one day admit defeat...

Actually, if you ever *had* watched it all the way through, you would have discovered that it *was* about Christ's birth, as being the most important part. It was only near the end of the show, when Linus recited the passages from the Gospel of Luke, that the religious theme was struck, but when Schultz struck it, he struck it fulsomely, like a Chinese gong...
