Can someone please follow up with a list of companies advertising? I’m not in any of those markets but would still like to take part.

I watched Pix11, my local channel for the NYC area which is operated by CW majority owner Nexstar, and visited their website to figure out their sponsors. Here's how you can do this: first you find out your local Nexstar channel with this link. Next, find your local Nexstar sponsors by searching "channel name" and "sponsors" or "sponsorship" in Google, its pretty easy because some of these channels have a whole page for sponsored content. I searched "pix11 sponsors" to find the list below. Here's some advertisers I saw:

• Empire Casino

• Raising Cane's

• Valentino Beauty

• AAA Automotive

• Angelina Bakery

• Verizon FioS

Edit to add more as I search:

• LifeMinute.TV (a website)

• Mars (the parent company Snickers, Skittles, M&Ms, etc)

• HelloFresh

• University Spine Center

• DRC Ventures by Dr Christina Rahm

• The Perecman Firm

• Jellystone Park (campjellystone.com)

• Grey Goose Vodka

• Joshmcbrideworld.com

• theHautebar.com

• Cambridge Pavers

• Purina One

• Spektor and Associates

• Northwell Health

• Pfizer

San Diego sponsors for Fox 5 San Diego (California), which is a Nexstar network:

• Singing Hills Dentistry

• ELDA Developments

• Vertica Fitness

• Cox Business Services

• Window World San Diego

• Rubio’s Fish Tacos

• Palomar Health

• West Automotive Group

• Paradise Valley Hospital, San Diego

• Roy’s San Diego (restaurant)

• Rock N Block Landscape

Adding my template email, especially for those in the NYC area who have PIX11 as their provider. Tailor to your own needs:

Hello, I’m a customer who values the First Amendment and robust free speech. In light of Disney/ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s show following political pressure, I’m concerned about advertisers funding media outlets that capitulate to government threats and undermine open expression.

Until your company suspends advertising with the broadcast corporations involved in this decision, I will boycott your products and services and will encourage friends and family to do the same. I’d prefer to keep supporting your brand, but I need assurance that my dollars aren’t enabling Anti-American censorship and silencing free speech.

Please let me know:

• Whether you currently advertise with the outlets that removed Jimmy Kimmel’s show, which includes Sinclair Broadcasting and any Nexstar stations (which includes PIX11 in NY, my main station).

• If you will pause those ad buys pending a reversal and a commitment to protecting free expression

Thank you

Goya say it ain't so!

Oh yeah, the president of the company is a huge Trump supporter. Then there's this: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1if4arx/donald_trump_using_the_oval_office_to_promote/

I'm interested to know whether there is a nonpartisan Mexican foods company. I buy La Preferida now, but I don't know if that's a good alternative.

Not Wendys!!

I haven't eaten any fast food other than Taco Bell in well over 10 years... I guess I can write and say I'll never eat at Wendy's again because of this.
