The Democratic Coalition has started a campaign to pressure companies to stop advertising during the Sean Hannity Show. The Democratic Coalition has created a new web site called firehannity.org that provides Twitter and email tools to contact advertisers. Most of the information posted at firehannity.org regarding companies that have stopped advertising appears to have been taken from Mediamatters.org. Some of the information is old and inaccurate. Firehannity.org reports several companies as having stopped advertising that Florida Family Association confirmed as advertising in June 2017 and August 2017.
Mediamatters.org updated its current list of Hannity advertisers on August 18, 2017. Therefore, it appears that Media Matters will continue to pressure companies to stop advertising on Hannity. Mediamatters.org does not provide Twitter and email tools to contact advertisers. Since Firehannity.org provides Twitter and email tools to contact advertisers that is not offered at Mediamatters.org, Florida Family Association will primarily focus on the activity at Firehannity.org and respond accordingly.
Florida Family Association has inquired with all eighteen companies that firehannity.org lists as having pulled off of the Sean Hannity Show. Additionally, Florida Family Association reviewed The Sean Hannity Show on August 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 to determine which companies are currently advertising. The results of these investigative approaches is posted below. While reviewing recordings of the show will verify if a company continues to advertise it will not absolutely resolve if a company has permanently stopped advertising or has simply paused placement of ads for timing reasons.

Florida Family Association chose Atkins for the first email alert to respond to this situation because the Democratic Coalition added the name to its list as a company that had stopped advertising on The Sean Hannity Show the week of August 14, 2017. The other companies listed is from old information that needs to be vetted. Additionally, Atkins did not respond to Florida Family Association's inquiry.
Next to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity is perhaps the strongest conservative voice in the media today. Sean is a true American patriot. Hannity has reported important news that no other cable news host has produced. He has relentlessly stood for traditional Judeo Christian values. Sean Hannity routinely gives honor to our military leaders, fallen heroes and military families in need.
Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to urge Atkins Nutritionals' officials to reinstate its advertising with Sean Hannity.
