The following message is from Democrats.com:

Our boycott of Glenn Beck’s advertisers on FOX News has been a huge success. Beck was forced to take a week off and lost 50 brand advertisers, leaving just a few self-destructive companies that want to lose all their customers. If you haven’t yet, please tell them to cancel their ads:

It’s important to vote with our wallets against those who tell lies. But it’s also important to vote with our wallets for those who tell the truth. And there is no greater truth-teller in America today than David Swanson, whose first book Daybreak was published today .

Air America host Thom Hartmann says, “Daybreak offers a powerful and compelling picture of what real change in America could look like. The world needs more true advocates of democracy like David Swanson!”

Right now, Glenn Beck’s latest screed is #1 on the Amazon political bestseller list, while Michelle Malkin’s attack on President Obama is #2. David Swanson’s book just reached #22. Can you cast a vote of $13.57 $10.97 to push David Swanson’s book past them and to the top of the bestseller list?

I proudly admit that I’m biased. Swanson is the Washington Director of Democrats.com, and fights tirelessly for the causes we care about most: single-payer healthcare, ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, holding former Bush Administration officials accountable for their war crimes, and ending the Imperial Presidency that Bush and Cheney left behind.

Swanson is also co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.org, creator of ConvictBushCheney.org, and a board member of Progressive Democrats for America.

Swanson just launched his national book tour. I hope you’ll meet him at an event near you:

And in the meantime, I hope you’ll vote for real progressive change – and against Glenn Beck – by buying Daybreak today.

Thanks for all you do!

On July 24, 2007 Democrats.com prompted a boycott of Fox News, calling it “the propaganda arm of the Republican party, willing to twist facts and even lie to promote the Republican agenda.” Their boycott page has been updated to include background information such as Glenn Beck agreeing with guest that wants the U.S. attacked by terrorists again,  Glenn Beck calling President Obama a racist and, most recently, Glenn Beck joking about poisoning Nancy Pelosi.

As of August 9, 2009, Democrats.com now includes the following statement:

We join with FoxNewsBoycott and other groups in this boycott. Read the latest update from wikoogle, which includes advertiser phone numbers if you’d like to call: 8/9/09
