The voice of the people can.... and always will stop those in media with no ethics from simply running over the people!

When a radio station with no ethics tried to run over people...people came together to stop that injustice! Now, several ad reps in a well known magazine are also trying to run over people and we ask people to Boycott Mother Jones and sign the petition against such media groups with no ethics at the bottom of this article!

Below is a letter from the victim of runaway corruption at the hands of unscrupulous ad reps (who make their money by bonuses and commissions) at Mother Jones:

=====================================
Dear Mrs.Saluti,

You have illegally stolen money from our credit card. The below email states that "you have not heard from us." That is completely untrue. You have not provided a phone number as requested... just so that you can pretend you have not received our emails.

Thus far far you have ignored each and everyone of our emails as we have attempted to clear this matter without alerting the public as to your unscrupulous behavior. We have tried to reslove this in a discreet manner since December of 2005.

We specifically informed you not to charge our credit card. We specifically informed Mr. Khary Brown not to run any more ads. We called our bank today and they informed us that you are tried to withdraw cash from our bank account on May 26th, 2006 with an attempt to withdraw more on May 31st. Our bank has informed us that tomorrow, you plan to unethically debit our account for $320.00, baed on a contact which you have never followed. Also, due to federal guidelines, the soonest that we can file a claim against this is two days later, and only then can fill out paperwork to have VISA take care of this matter.

At this point, we will begin alerting the public as to your unethical behavior so that we can attempt to find others who have been the victim of such disgraceful business transactions.

Once again you have caused our small, not-for-profit organization's account to bounce, but this is the last time we will trust you. We have cancelled our former credit card and a new one is being issued.

We will begin letting every Progressive News Service that will listen, understand your unethical behavior:

#1. Your breech of contract

#2. You bounced our account twice

#3. Your breach of your own privacy policy as Eric Franklin sends out countless Spam, without addressing people by name, and spamming using the CC so everyone can see the list of spam victims, and receive even more spam by infected email accounts. Please check his "sent" folder if he attempts to deny this fact. In it I believe you will find such emails titled "This Is Scary" in which he sends out emails about items which have no relevance to our business transactions at all and no relevance to Mother Jones.

#4. Your continuous inability to tell the truth. Multiple times we asked to be informed after our account was debited, and you replied you would inform us of such. And yet we discovered that on May 1st two debits were made and yet you did not inform us of such. So, thus far you have subtracted over $1,000 from our account. It is far past time to alert the public.

#5. Your inability to provide a contact phone number for administration when your morally corrupt advertising department begins to steal money from our account.

#6. You advertising department's continued hrassment by email, phone and postal mail of customers when it is your organization that breached the contract. In "advance" means in advance. We currently have ads running in "In These Times," "Portland Mercury", "Communities Magazines" and many more Progressive, Independent magazines. We signed contracts with many of them at the same time we signed one with you last year. And we have never had a problem with them. Do you know why? We always pay in advance so that morally corrupt advertising executives who are paid bonuses and commissions like yourself never can simply enter our account when they want to throughout the year.

Those are the first six complaints. We will let the world know about it through blog, podcast, website, email list. Our fundraising events and most importantly on multipe flyers at our conference in August.

Do you honestly think that you made a profit by stealing $320.00 from our account? We trusted you and you betrayed that trust.

Sincerely,

-- Minority Victims of Media with No Ethics
