You know what sucks? I was seriously going to get an ADT security system. (We live in the the back-woods here in Texas and the dog is getting old.)

Here's the letter I sent them...

I am a 39 year old homemaker and my husband is a senior NCO in the US Army who's frequently deployed. Our family dog (who's very good at her job of “alarm”) is getting on in years and I've been considering getting an ADT security system to replace her. (We live out in the “boonies” and I don't like being alone while hubby is gone for so long.)

Regrettably, I just found out that you guys pulled your ads from the Glenn Beck Show (which happens to be the only news show this Texas family watches) due to pressure from some whiney group or another.

When I look to a company for protection, I'm looking for a company with guts. Somebody I can rely on, not a company that folds like a cheap suit as soon as they get a demanding letter from an anal-retentive, vegan, needs-to-be-reacquainted-with-a-bar-of-soap, bed-wetting, tree-hugging lefty.

I guess I'll just get another dog, put 911 on speed-dial, and reload my husband's gun.

What was a sure contract for your company is now gone.

If I see ADT commercials during the Glenn Beck Show within the next few weeks, I will reconsider. (Dogs really can be a pain in the butt and I'd rather not get another one if I don't have to. The last one did a number to my floors.)

Thank you for your time,
Mrs. F

I like it! To the point, respectful, and full of common sense. They can put it side by side with what they’re getting from the left and if they can’t see the difference I wouldn’t trust them with my business in any event!

Excellent.

I phoned and actually talked with my State-Farm agent about their advertising...he doesn't agree with corporate policy and said he'd relay my complaint on up the ladder.

He said he listens to Glenn Beck daily and agrees with most of what he says.

We're going to a town hall meeting together tomorrow. LOL

(It's a small town and my family has been with this agency for decades. The old agent just retired and we have this new one I haven't met yet)

I don't see ADT listed as a "turncoat" on DefendGlenn.com.

ADT too? There’s something I can cancel. I don’t have Geico or Progressive, but I do have ADT. I will get another company to do the monitoring.
