Why AOL? Lou Dobbs is
the number one money maker for CNN so he is not going anywhere as long as he
makes money for CNN and right now he is making a ton of money for CNN
bashing "illegal immigration."
CNN is owned by Time
Warner and Time Warner also owns AOL which is being extensively promoted to
increase its value as witnessed last week by selling 5% of AOL stock to
Google. This 5% cost Google $1 Billion setting a benchmark value for AOL
stock.
The Google-AOL deal
gives AOL a valuation of $20 billion.
Billionaire Time Warner
shareholder Carl Icahn who controls 3 percent of Time Warner shares has been
organizing a proxy battle for control of Time Warner wants to sell AOL.
We could never directly
muzzle Lou Dobbs because the revenue his trashing of Hispanic/Latinos
generates for CNN is huge and CNN's revenue belongs to Time Warner.
The Achilles heel is
AOL. If the value of AOL was to decrease dramatically because of the loss of
the Hispanic/Latino market, Time Warner, and more so, Carl Icahn, would move
to stop this hemorrhage. The only way to stop the hemorrhage would be to
meet the demands of the Hispanic/Latino community: Remove Lou Dobbs off the
Air.
Why is this so
important?
The marches, rallies,
and protests have been instrumental in the Senate Judiciary Committee's
adoption of the McCain Kennedy Immigration Reform proposal and its
submission to the Senate for debate. The monumental protests have been heard
in Washington and around the USA.
As monumental as the protests have
energized the Hispanic community, the protests will not take immigration
over the top as witnessed by the Senate failing to approve immigration
reform.
Time now for a reality
check:
The
US Senate debated immigration reform but the Senate votes to adopt the
Kennedy McCain proposal were simply not there!
Something else now needs to be added to
the protests to take us to the next level if we are going to realize
immigration reform as Hispanics favor.
Lou Dobbs
Lou Dobbs has become the
champion zealot
of bashing "illegal immigration" each night at CNN promoting HR 4437 as the
only way of dealing with "Broken Borders" to protect the USA. The only way
to stop Lou Dobbs, the raving populist xenophobe,
is to invoke "The Achilles heel: AOL."
The number of AOL subscribers is around
30 million. Many of these are US Hispanics, in addition,
AOL has a
growing percentage of Latin America accounts among new users.
To increase market share, AOL is being
marketed to the Hispanic/Latino internet community for its ease of use.
There are other internet companies that are even easier to use, have faster
speeds, and are less expensive. With a national Ax AOL campaign especially
among our savvy youth with their ever increasing use of text messaging, IM,
and Internet, if Hispanics would drop AOL and move in droves to other
internet providers, significant pressure would result causing owners of AOL
to realize the only way to re-capture market share would be to remove CNN's
Lou Dobbs.
Removing Lou Dobbs off
the air would completely disarm the national leader of promoting HR 4437 and
would be the most powerful message that could be provided to the Congress,
President Bush, 2008 presidential candidates and the entire USA. The demise
of Lou Dobbs would be fatal. There would be nowhere for him to land because
wherever he surfaced such as FOX, the Ax AOL campaign would follow him by
simply changing our name to Ax FOX.
If CNN does not remove
Lou Dobbs, we will move to escalate to boycott all CNN corporate sponsors
beginning with sponsors of CNN en Espanol. We are approaching $1 Trillion in
annual Hispanic purchasing. This is the real strength of Hispanic power.
Hispanic News on April
11 published a new website AxAOL.com which will become the vehicle for
getting the message out throughout the USA to boycott AOL.
Presently there is no
USA website that is coordinating marches, rallies or protests and No4437.com
could become this vehicle for anyone to post what is happening in their
community and to get messages out to everyone in the USA.
To promote Ax AOL throughout the USA,
Hispanic News is now selling advertising using Sponsored Links. Buy an
ad if you own a business or as an individual use your name. The ads are $299
but donations are welcomed for any amount. Help us make change in the USA by
working together to remove Lou Dobbs off the air at CNN. Buying Ax AOL
t-shirts is expensive. Hispanic News can not do this by ourselves.
You can also help by emailing everyone in
your address book informing them using AOL indirectly pays Lou Dobbs'
salary.
Beginning May 1, the next level of
marches, rallies, protests will now include Ax AOL. The red Ax AOL t-shirts
will become part of the protests. Spread the word that anyone who uses AOL
is subsidizing Lou Dobbs' promotion of HR 4437's criminalizing immigrants
and anyone who helps them.
We will be promoting
alternative products and services from those
we are boycotting. If you have a suggestion for an alternative, email me
with your recommendation. If you provide a service or product and would like
Ax AOL to consider your recommendation, email me.

I remember
when I came back from serving in the US Army during the Viet Nam
war to return home to Superior, Arizona to begin work as a
copper miner in an underground copper mine owned by Magma Copper
Company.
I joined the
AFL-CIO and I vividly remember one strike I became part of in
Superior. I remember the “Picket Line” established as a line
drawn on the dirt where no scab miner was allowed to cross over
to work the copper mine as we were on strike.
Today, after
listening to the Lou Dobbs show segment concerning the AxAOL
strategy, I now establish a “Picket Line” for all Hispanics not
to cross over to appear on the Lou Dobbs show.
I hope all
Hispanics will honor this “Picket Line” and support our campaign
to bring to an end the theatrical charade displayed by Lou Dobbs
each afternoon as he continues to bash Hispanics.
www.AxAOL.com
This morning (April 17) I received a request to appear
today on the Lou Dobbs show.
What follows is the request and my response.
I then emailed our entire email list to state an
acceptance by any Hispanic to appear on Lou Dobbs helps promotes his show
and our goal is not to promote but to remove Lou Dobbs off CNN. Therefore,
all Hispanics are asked to stop all appearances on the Lou Dobbs show. It is
a theatrical show, not true unbiased journalistic reporting.

Centro
Nacional de Derecho y Educación de Arizona da a conocer
declaración y convocatoria a boicot nacional de AOL, Lou Dobbs y
Kimberly Clark
Phoenix, AZ--(HISPANIC PR
WIRE)--26 de abril de 2006--Jon Garrido, presidente de la junta
directiva del Centro Nacional de Derecho y Educación de Arizona,
convocó en el día de hoy al boicot Ax KC -- http://www.AxKC.net
– a causa del patrocinio del representante James Sensenbrenner
del proyecto de ley HR 4437, que convertiría en criminales a
doce millones de inmigrantes indocumentados, castigando a todo
el que les ofrezca ayuda; y además insta a la construcción de un
muro de hierro en la frontera entre los Estados Unidos y México.
Garrido hizo pública la siguiente declaración:
"Lo que la mayoría de los hispanos/latinos no sabe es que el
congresista James Sensenbrenner es heredero de la fortuna
familiar de Kimberly Clark. Su bisabuelo inventó la toalla
femenina Kotex que condujo al inicio de Kimberly Clark. El Sr.
Sensenbrenner sigue siendo accionista de la compañía.
Kimberly Clark fabrica algunas de las marcas más prestigiosas
del mundo, como Little Swimmers, Kleenex, Scott, Huggies,
Pull-Ups, Kotex, Depend, Poise, Viva, y Cottonelle. La compra de
cada uno de estos productos engrosa la cuenta bancaria
correspondiente a las acciones que tiene Sensenbrenner en la
compañía.
Sensenbrenner quiere edificar un muro entre los Estados Unidos y
México. Ahora nos corresponde el turno de construir una muralla
alrededor de los productos Kimberly Clark con el letrero: “No
los compren”. Necesitamos invitar a todos acá y en Latinoamérica
que participen en el boicot de los productos Kimberly Clark.
Por su parte, el boicot Ax AOL -- http://www.AxAOL.com – es una
estrategia para que Lou Dobbs salga de CNN. AOL y CNN son
propiedad de Time Warner. Dobbs mantiene un programa vodevilesco
en CNN usando el pretexto de la información periodística
neutral. Lo cierto es que Dobbs lleva la voz cantante entre
todos los que quieren arreglar el código de “Fronteras Rotas” a
fin de avasallar a los indocumentados, utilizando con frecuencia
a Sensenbrenner como invitado. Si estuviera en sus manos,
apresarían a los doce millones de indocumentados y los
deportarían a México y a sus otros países de origen.
"El primero de mayo es el inicio oficial de los boicots Ax KC y
Ax AOL. Por favor, dejen de comprar los productos Kimberly Clark
que benefician al congresista James Sensenbrenner. Les rogamos
que también les digan a todos que dejen de usar AOL para que
Time Warner elimine el programa de Lou Dobbs en CNN".

propósitos de ALEC es defender a los inmigrantes indocumentados,
y promover reformas migratorias integrales en Washington DC.
ALEC trabaja conjuntamente con Hispanic News para proporcionar
artículos noticiosos y editoriales de interés a los hispanos en
los Estados Unidos. Jon Garrido es el presidente de la junta
directiva de ALEC, además de su director ejecutivo.
