He went on to say autism, a lifelong debilitating disorder that leaves many children without the ability to speak and in constant pain, was a 'fraud' and a 'racket' perpetrated by inept parents.Do not permit Savage's offensive statements to go unchallenged. Savage and his broadcasting syndicators must be held accountable for his hateful and ignorant tirade. Contact his sponsors and demand that they withdraw their support. Most reasonable people, and most for-profit corporations, do not want to be identified as oppressors of the disabled. Your words will have great impact and will make the choice clear for them.To Hear Savage's offensive comments for yourself with some helpful commentary that puts him in his place, click on these links:http://injectingsense.blogspot.com/2008/07/beyond-ignorance-beyond-offensive.html http://mediamatters.org/items/200807170005?f=h_top Send a message to Savage's broadcasters, syndicators and commercial sponsors:(Use our messaging system to contact them but also fax and call them directly – where a web address email is indicated go to their web site): Buckley Broadcasting/WOR RadioGeneral Phone Number: 212 642 4500111 Broadway 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10006Home [log in to unmask](770) 384-4646SearsSears Public Relations And Communications(847) 286-8371contact through their website:http://www.searsmedia.com/tools/inquires/feedback.htmRadioshackMedia Relations_Riverfront Campus _Mail Stop #CF7-130_300 RadioShack Circle _Fort Worth, TX 76102-1964_Phone: (817) 415-3300_Fax: (817) 415-2585_E-mail: [log in to unmask] (1-800-992-3522)Laura Kane, 2nd Vice President External Relations Aflac Incorporated_1-706-596-3493Mechell Clark_Media Relations [log in to unmask], Inc.One Busch PlaceSt. Louis, MO 63118Email through their site: http://contactus.anheuser-busch.com/contactus/email.asp1 800 DIAL BUD(1 800 342 5283)Michael [log in to unmask] Radio NetworkTalk Radio NetworkTalk Radio NetworkP.O.

He went on to say:'I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is.'Savage also used offensive terms to describe autistic children, such as 'idiots', 'morons' and more.We parents and family members of an individual with autism will not tolerate Savage's offensive and unacceptable conduct. We respectfully request that your company withdraws their advertising dollars from his programs and, if you broadcast or syndicate his radio show, that you dismiss him immediately. Autism affects 1 in 150 children in the USA. Each of those children has a circle of family, friends and supporters who share the concerns of the child. We would say that there are likely 10 people for every child with autism who shares that child's concerns.When you consider this request, please consider that as many as 1 in 15 Americans will be watching your decision and how you react will have a powerful impact on their opinion of your company.We hope and trust that you will do the right thing.Respectfully,----------------------------------------------------------The Autism Action Network
