1.) Copy and paste the letters below. Fill in your own personal information at the end of the two letters under 'Sincerely'.
2.) Send the 2nd letter (underneath the second dotted line below) to Bestbuy using the addresses provided.
3.) Send the top letter along with the bottom letter to Fox at the addresses provided and Cc: to the major newspaper addresses provided.
4.) Follow through and NEVER again buy your electronics items at Bestbuy as long as they advertise on FoxNews! Shop at Target, Walmart, Sears, Newegg.com, or wherever else. There are plenty of alternative choices. If inconvenience or slightly higher price is too much trouble to pay then I suppose this revolution means something different to you than many...
Use your own letter instead if you like. But send something and follow through! This is the way to fight the mainstream media bias. As a gang of consumers who refuse to validate the advertising dollars heaped upon the biased network(s) subverting democracy...

Subject: Fox advertisers boycott is real: my letter
Dear Editor,
I just sent the following letter to Bestbuy and will be following up with additional letters to P&G and other companies who advertise on Fox. If the American people, and particularly the citizens of New Hampshire, do not strongly protest Rupert Murdoch's transparent attempt to subvert our democracy by denying Ron Paul a voice at the upcoming FoxNews/NH GOP Roundtable event at St. Anselm's then what has become of our country? Paul has well earned the right to have his positions heard (and with equal time, in my view), as have the people of America and NH earned the right to hear those views so they can decide for themselves who should be the next President.
The irony of the FoxNews network slogan 'We report, you decide' is not lost on this ex-FoxNews viewer...
Sincerely,
---------------------------------------

Subject: Long time consumer will never again purchase
Dear Sirs,
This message is sent with the utmost sincerity.
Please be aware that I will never again be purchasing any products from BestBuy retail stores or Bestbuy.com , despite having been a consumer of yours for many years, if your company continues to advertise with Fox affiliated networks or television stations.
I have spent many thousands of dollars at Bestbuy over the past couple of years, including purchases of large screen televisions, stereo systems, computers, game consoles, DVDs, phones, and other items. Best buy has historically been amongst the first companies I consider purchasing from subsequent to arriving at the decision to purchase a consumer item from the above categories.
The fact that FoxNews is holding a Republican Presidential candidates forum in New Hampshire (where I reside), but is excluding candidate Ron Paul (who has collected the most money of any GOP candidate in the 4th quarter from the most number of individual contributors and collected 10% of the Iowa caucus vote) is a direct testament to the fact that Fox (and its parent company NWS) is attempting to undermine democracy in the United States.
Unfortunately, the only way for an average American to protest this media behemoth silencing an immensely popular candidate (based upon all reasonable metrics) because they do not agree with his political positions is to boycott those companies who advertise on the Fox networks.
Please be assured that I am absolutely serious about this, and although I am only one consumer who buys for one American family I will indeed be forever discontinuing the purchase of all products from Bestbuy should advertising on Fox continue. There are plenty of alternative places to purchase the items that Bestbuy sells, irrespective of whether such purchases cost me a bit more money or turn out to be somewhat less convenient.
Please feel free to evaluate my historical purchases and to contact me if you require more information.
Sincerely,
