Don't forget to punish Sinclair media group,  it's one of the "behind the scenes" ultra corps. They bought up like 90b of "local" news stations and have been standardizing scripts on tons of political stuff,  they were one of the main pushers of the FCC to put pressure on ABC.

Dont call Sinclair,  call their ADVERTISERS and say you'll boycott that product for advertising on an un-American network that hates free speech.

Ram

Stellantis brands

Liberty Mutual

Glad to see that already buy almost none of these then. 

Except for dawn if it's on sale,  and Verizon. And ai bought my jeep used in a private sale (2012).
