Subject: ACTION ALERT: Nike and Reggie White

*** SUMMARY ***

According to the right-wing Family Research Council (FRC), Nike is considering
dropping Reggie White, presumably for his anti-gay remarks and the associated
controversy. The FRC is encouraging its right-wing followers to call Nike and
ask that he be retained.

*** ACTION ***

In order to counteract the FRC, call Nike's customer response line at
1-800-344-6453 and ask that they DROP Reggie White as their spokesman.  If you
have purchased Nike products, be sure to let them know that too.

Be polite.  Let them know that while Reggie White is entitled to his religious
views, his statements suggesting that anti-gay discrimination is not a real
phenomenon, that being gay is a behavioral choice, and that being gay is like
being a liar, cheater, or adulterer, CANNOT BE TOLERATED.  Such statements
directly contribute to anti-gay violence and discrimination.

The phone call is FREE.  Call now:  1-800-344-6453
