Show your support of Lowes

By: American Decency Staff

A few months ago, ADA and especially our ally, the Florida Family Association, were thrust into the spot light when Lowe's decided to pull its advertisements from TLC's propaganda TV show, "All-American Muslim." The next few weeks saw a lot of attention being devoted to whether or not Lowe's was right to pull those ads, peaking at a California politician's insistence on legislation that would take away the freedom of businesses to make their own marketing decisions by making it illegal in the future to pull advertisements under similar circumstances. "All-American Muslim," you may remember, follows several Muslim families going through their mundane, every-day lives to make the point that Muslims are not a threat to national security. They are just normal people with different religious beliefs. This was our commentary on the show from several weeks ago: " Those of us who are opposed to 'All-American Muslim' do not disapprove just because it's a show about Muslims. We are concerned that their premise – 'All-American Muslims' just want to get along – will translate to all American Muslims just want to get along. That's irresponsible and it has the capacity to result in a lot of people dying. That's not a bigoted statement. It's a factual statement…" After pulling its advertisements from "All-American Muslim," Lowe's has continued to feel a lot of pressure from the “Politically Correctâ€Â camp to once again fund TLC's propaganda piece. OneNewsNow.com explains. Brigitte Gabriel is founder and president of ACT! for America and author of They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It. After her organization delivered a 30,000-signature petition supporting Lowes' move, left-wing pro-Islamic groups began a relentless petition campaign to pressure the store to change its mind. "The Muslim lobby launched their own petition, and they got progressive organizations like Think Progress and MoveOn.org and the ACLU to get involved," Gabriel reports. "They were able to gather 200,000 signatures, which they took to Lowes and said, 'Listen — the only petition that is with you has 30,000 signatures; here we have 200,000 signatures, which shows you that the majority of Americans are against your decision and they want you to go back to advertising on the show or they're going to boycott you.'" So far, Lowes has not backed down from its initial decision, but the ACT! for America president is encouraging people to join more than 42,000 others in signing the online petition on her organization's website that urges the company to stand firm. To show your support for Lowe's decision and to show the company that they made the right choice, go to www.actforamerica.org and sign the petition.
