After viewing the sponsors of Glenn Beck, only a few were products I actually used. But, I did send a letter out to companies whose services and products I support. I was happy to see that I can still put Sargento's sharp cheddar in my omellette and that I don't have to change insurance.
MY E-MAIL TO STATE FARM
Dear State Farm,
I and my family have used State Farm from since before I was born, but I hope you are like a good neighbor in that you don't support ignorance, intolerance, and bigotry. Please don't continue to advertise on the Glenn Beck show. There are only a few advertiser's on there whose products I use. I don't want to switch insurance agencies. However, Geico has had the conscience and fortitude to do the right thing and withdraw. I hope that you will do the same so that I won't have to switch to them.
Thank you,
Jacob
THEIR RESPONSE:
Dear Jacob,
Thank you for your recent e-mail concerning State Farm’s advertising on the Fox network.
Recently, there was a breakdown in the execution of State Farm’s advertising guidelines and a few commercials mistakenly appeared for a brief time on a couple political discussion programs.
Understanding our millions of customers and thousands of associates hold a full spectrum of views on political issues, State Farm has a long-standing practice of not advertising in political discussion programming. This advertising applies regardless of a program’s political point of view.
State Farm continuously monitors programming to ensure quality control and that our political issues advertising guidelines are maintained.
Thank you for your e-mail and your continued support of State Farm Insurance, both are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jairon L. Wills
Executive Customer Service Supervisor
