All, I have created this thread in order to have one central location for advertiser contact information and any response that you may receive from them so we can be aware of their intentions. Therefore, please include your contact info when you talk to them so that the advertisers can get back to you. We'll assume that no action taken on their part means that they support the Register's actions.
Let's please limit discussion in this thread only to Advertiser responses and keep general discussion in the initial thread.
A moderator will update the advertising list in this first post as MySQLQuery lets us know that some are missing.
I have also put a sample letter below that you can feel free to steal for email and snail-mail. Modify it any way you see fit, especially if you are local to Northwest Ohio. Also, phone calls will be very effective! Let's politely contact these people multiple times until we hear something.
ABOVE ALL, let's remember that polite and professional contact is the only way for us to make progress. Many people feel that anti-gun zealots like the Managing Editor of the Register purposely make their contact info available waiting for just one "bad apple" to contact them in a wrong way so that they can paint the entire CHL community as irresponsible.
Thanks for all of your help!
Sample Letter:
--------------------------------------Dear Sir/Madam:
I am contacting you today as a concerned consumer. As you may or may not know, The Sandusky Register, which your business supports with advertising, has committed a grievous and dangerous attack on thousands of citizens in Northwest Ohio. On June 26, Managing Editor Matt Westerhold and The Register decided to publish the personal information of every law-abiding citizen that has received a Concealed Handgun License. These licensed citizens have undergone state-mandated training, passed a rigorous background check, been fingerprinted, and have been studied in the legal responsibilities of carrying a handgun solely for the defense of themselves and their families.
Many of these law-abiding citizens are now put in a dangerous predicament. Women that have relocated and received a handgun license for protection from an abusive spouse or stalker now have their location revealed. People that merely want privacy now have to answer employers and housing management about why they have chosen to legally own firearms. Now there is a “shopping list” available for any criminal that wishes to target houses where firearms are likely to be stolen, which are extremely valuable on the black market.
The Ohio Legislature gave media outlets the privilege of obtaining this personal information in order to ensure that Concealed Handgun Licenses were being issued appropriately. That is a very noble and worthy justification. However, the Legislature’s intent was clearly on record that a journalist was to research an individual crime and determine if an individual criminal had received a license. The intent was most certainly not to publish blanket lists of license holders and their personal information for no reason except public harassment.
Therefore, I ask that you please contact The Sandusky Register and demand as a paying advertising supporter that they stop this dangerous practice, apologize to the law-abiding citizens of Ohio, and terminate the employment of Managing Editor Matt Westerhold.
This movement is being organized by Ohio’s largest grassroots firearms advocacy group, Ohioans For Concealed Carry. Please visit www.OhioCCW.org for more detail. Thousands of Ohioans are closely following this situation and ask that you support them in this endeavor.
I humbly request that you contact me so that I may know your intentions and can forward them to our large community. I hope that we will be correct in assuming that no action taken by your business will constitute support for the Sandusky Register’s dangerous practices.
Thank you for your time,
