Dear <:firstname:>,

The brief story highlighted below reports that CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) has successfully pressured OfficeMax to drop its advertising on the Michael Savage radio program. And notice the story says OfficeMax has "joined a growing list of companies" with its decision to stop advertising.

The decision by OfficeMax was announced the same day the Los Angeles Police Department announced it was dropping its proposed anti-terrorism program due to pressure from groups like CAIR.

This is just another example of why it's so important that we build ACT for America into the nation's most formidable grassroots organization. Look what's happening! A tiny, tiny percentage of Americans are represented by CAIR, but because companies like OfficeMax don't hear from anyone else, they cave in to CAIR's demands.

We need to let businesses and communities know that we have a voice that is much, much larger than CAIR's.

Please ACT! today. Here's all you need to do:

1. Call the OfficeMax office headquarters at 630.438.7800, press "0" when asked who you want to speak to, and when you get an operator, in a polite but firm manner, tell the operator you have heard about the company's decision to stop advertising on the Michael Savage program because of the pressure from CAIR. Tell them you will no longer shop at OfficeMax until OfficeMax reverses this ill-advised decision.
2. If the 630-438-7800 number is busy, call the Customer Service line, 800-661-5931. It's better to call the office line first, because if enough people call their phone lines will get clogged up and they'll know right away that something is happening. Call the 800# only if you can't get through on the 630.438.7800 line.
3. Some people ask about sending emails in a case like this. Phone calls are better. A barrage of phone calls will get immediate attention from the company.
4. Forward this email to everyone you know, with a short personal message asking them to place a call as well.

Next week, ACT for America will launch a petition that we will take to not only OfficeMax but other companies that have caved in to CAIR, as well as companies that CAIR is pressuring right now.

If CAIR can succeed in this effort to silence Michael Savage, consider the chilling effect this will have on every talk radio host in America. Enough is enough - let's ACT now!
