The Neat Company says they won't discriminate and will continue advertising on Al Jazeera America because the 100 employees they hired justifies it.    The action email on this issue was deactivated after The Neat Company stopped advertising.

The Neat Company believes the 100 employees they hired and their fair mindedness justifies advertising on Al Jazeera the news company that is owned by a non-democratic, monarch styled emirate who does not afford citizens freedom of the press, espouses Islamic Sharia law, backs the elected head of Hamas and supports the Muslim Brotherhood. 

The Florida Family Association office sent emails to The Neat Company to inform them about their advertisements on Al Jazeera America aka CurrentTV on April 15, 2013, May 2, 2013, June 20, 2013, July 10, 2013, July 26, 2013 and August 9, 2013.

The Neat Company is the only advertiser that has responded with such rhetoric.  Now that all of the major companies have stopped advertising on Al Jazeera America Florida Family Association is strategically targeting the smaller companies.  One of the reasons why Florida Family Association chose to target the Neat Company before other small companies is because of their above response.

The Neat Company has the right to choose where they use their advertising dollars.  You have the same right to object and choose products from another company.   Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to four officials at The Neat Company.
