Lobby Clear Channel

This comes from Hope Not Hate:

"The BNP's message of hate is being spread across the country by a small but dedicated band of racist activists.

But now, a commercial media organisation is seeking to financially profit from the BNP's vicious campaign. Clear Channel - one of the UK's largest poster and billboard companies - have sold the BNP adverts across the country.

They have provided the BNP with high profile sites - putting the BNP's racist message on a pedestal and giving them the oxygen of publicity. In a matter of days these billboards and posters will be spreading across the country. But we can stop them if enough of us complain to Clear Channel and we get them to cancel their contract.

We have set an easy-to-use page so you can send a letter of complaint - will you send them a message of complaint?

Although unpalatable, it is right that every party gets access to the news and the media during elections - including the BNP. That's one thing. It is totally different for a company to profit from the BNP's message of hate. We've already successfully managed to get one of their billboards taken down in Essex - now we need your help to stop these spreading across the country.

We've set up a page on the campaign site where you can let Clear Channel know what you think of their policy to advertise and spread the BNP's racist lies. The tool lets you really easily register a complaint. Once you've done that we then need you to send this email to all of your friends and get them to do the same - this will only work if you take ownership of this campaign and spread our message to your friends.

We've made it easy to send a note of complaint. We need to send them as many messages as we can - will you take action and send them a message? We've had some amazing results in this campaign when we've taken collective action. Please take 30 seconds and help get these advertisements withdrawn."
