Take Action Thursday

Last week, our nation’s committee on Science, Space, and Technology tweeted a Breitbart Fake News article “Global Temperatures Plunge. Icy Silence from Climate Alarmists”. 

For our first Take Action Thursday, we have put together a few suggestions below that will take you 5 min or less. 

  • Contact the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology: 

 

Breitbart News is a destructive fake news source - they are fueled by ads! Continue the pressure

  • Send Kellogg's a Thank You: 

    • 1-800-962-1413; Kellogg's Consumer Affairs P.O. Box CAMB, Battle Creek, MI 49016

    • Buy Kellogg products and donate to a food bank!

 

  • Alert other companies about their ads on Breitbart:
    • Go to Breitbart (dot) com. [I know, ugh, but keep going.] 2.) Find a Google AdSense ad. It will have a teal triangle and an X in its upper righthand corner. 3.) Click on the triangle. 4.) Click "Ad choices." 5.) On the Google page that loads, click "learn more" in the text toward the bottom. 6.) A page loads, Scroll down and click to "Leave feedback on the website you just saw." 7.) You are given a choice between "the website" and "the ads." Choose "the website." 8.) Check the box saying that the website (Breitbart) promotes racial intolerance/gender inequality. If you'd like, add a comment.  9.) Click submit!

Example Text:“Dear XXX, I have been outraged/offended/etc by fake news published on Breitbart News. I was very encouraged to see Kellogg foods remove ads from their site. When I checked the fake news site recently, I noticed an ad from your company. I am an owner/user of your product and was very upset to see your ad. I urge you to be more judicious in the content your ad money supports.
