3. I'm sure they have some sort of "morals" clause, though
it could even be something as open as not conveying the appropriate image for ABC Family (didn't Lindsay Lohan get reprimanded by Disney for shirts that are too low cut?)

12. I believe this contract could be broken because Robertson
crossed over the line of broadcasting decency. ABC can easily prove this in a contractual dispute. But my guess is they won't because of the publicity it has received and all the new viewers Robertson got because of his hate speech. It's all about money for ABC and Robertson.

8. maybe they've received so many letters of outrage that they've pulled
the option.

i still want to write, though, so if anyone is able to, let me know what i can do differently.

thanks.

18. 700 Club is not listed, but you can submit comments without choosing
a show from the options. I just did it.

7. Done!
I sent mine with the line requesting "name of show" left blank.

If they get enough loud complaints, they'll find some loophole to use to drop him.

11. please copy the link and then open a new window to get to their site.
that way they will be less likely to dismiss our letters.

13. here's mine
Regarding "The 700 Club" I am alarmed at the language Pat Robertson has used on this show. Praying for vacancies on the Supreme Court and suggesting that we assassinate the President of another nation are not what I consider good Christian values.

I also request that you find some liberal Christian alternatives to "The 700 Club" if you can. I am a Christian, but not of the Pat Robertson mold. I will not watch it. Ever.

19. done. here's mine.
mind you, i was trying very hard not to go all flamy on them. flames are good, too, but i want them to actually read what i write.


Regarding Pat Robertson:

Growing up, I watched the 700 Club on a regular basis. I enjoyed watching Mr. Robertson and associated him with a kind and caring grandfatherly sort. However, I have unfortunately witnessed the demise of his faith (and seemingly his sanity) as he appears to have been corrupted by association with power, vanity, and wealth. His latest comment regarding Mr. Chavez was only one of many inflammatory, racist, sexist and truly frightening comments that he has increasingly made over the last few years. I'm shocked that ABC Family continues to air his show, because to do so is to essentially support hateful and arguably terrorist propoganda. Because that is essentially what he is advocating. Please think long and hard about what kind of programming you choose to be associated with. Until you remove Mr. Roberson's program, I find myself compelled to no longer support or view ABC.
