Reply #7: I am switching to DISH. Their owners give to Dems! [View All]

I checked it out (http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.asp?NumOfThou=0&txtName=Ergen&txtState=%28all+states%29&txtZip=&txtEmploy=&txtCand=&txt2004=Y&txt2002=Y&txt2000=Y&Order=N)

DISH is a subsidiary of EchoStar, which is owned by the Elgen family --who live here in Colorado.

In my research I found that they give to Dems and some Republicans who sit on committees that affect their business.

Bresnan, on the other hand, ONLY gives to rightwing crazies. I don't want them or their Christian crap music in my house. How would they like it if they had porn piped into their living rooms? I consider it to be an equal offense.

But I am not going quietly. I am going to write my local newspaper and Bresnan to let them know why we are dropping them. Then I will tell the DISH people why we are going back to them.
