Nashville Woman Fired for Anti-War Letter

A woman was fired from her job at Jones Media after replying to an e-mail written by country singer Charlie Daniels.

Tamara Saviano worked for Jones Media Networks and Great American Country on Music row for three years. She was fired last Friday for responding to an e-mail written by Charlie Daniels.

In his e-mail, Daniels blasted Hollywood and the media for protesting a possible war with Iraq. His publicist, Kirk Webster sent the e-mail to people in the music and media industry.

When Saviano got the letter at her personal e-mail address, she wrote Webster and Daniels back outlining her anti-war beliefs.

Webster says Saviano put her company name on her e-mail and that’s why he called Jones Media. But Saviano says it was clear her e-mail expressed her personal beliefs.

Webster says Charlie Daniels had nothing to do with Saviano’s firing.

The majority of "anti-war" folks are obviously, in truth, "anti-American," however,...

I truly doubt that. I think most of them are simply doing what's "cool". And that makes them more pitiful that all the rest.

I met a 60-something Quaker woman who is a pacifist. I suppose that makes you cool. At least I respected her position.

"So anyone who opposes the war is now a 'traitor'?"

No, some are just well intentioned idiots.

In your first 9 words you establish the fact that you shot your mouth off before you comprehended the article. It was in her PERSONAL e-mail! Please read more carefully next time and you might have credibility here!

It's a private company. They should be able to fire her for her pro-war views, her anti-war views, or because her mother dresses her funny.

Couldn't agree more

Again we have another innocent "I was just exercising my free-speech rights" story that, like the mall t-shirt story, is probably missing some key elements that would put a different light on it altogether. These stories, as reported, look like these lefties are victims of Pro-war fascists. These reports just don't pass the smell test for me.

While you are on the right side here, please note this was in her PERSONAL e-mail box.

The "troops in harm's way" aren't the ones I'm worried about. They'll do fine. It's the civilians in major cities throughout the world you should share your major concern with.

I'd say so too.

If folks post around here - or anywhere else - the company who allows that isn't too up to snuff.

Folks should post from their HOME base, not their Company's base. I've seen alot of abuse where people use their company's address.

If they don't have a home base...they shouldn't post...ANYWHERE. If they do, they'll get busted at some point. And maybe they Should get busted; after all, they're doing it on their company's dime, so to speak. JLO
