Michael Savage Calls Children With Autism "Brats" and Autism a "Scam"
Use the Autism Action Network to Tell Savage's Broadcasters and Sponsors What You Think of Savage and His Offensive Remarks
 
OFFENSIVE!

 That's What We Call The Words of Trash Radio Host Michael Savage

(t/n Michael Weiner)

Take Action Against Michael Savage's Remarks!

"Idiot" "brat" "moron"

These are just a few terms  Savage  used to describe children with Autism on his radio program. He went on to say autism, a lifelong debilitating disorder that leaves many children without the ability to speak and in constant pain, was a "fraud" and a "racket" perpetrated by inept parents.

Do not permit Savage's offensive statements to go unchallenged. Savage and his broadcasting syndicators must be held accountable for his hateful and ignorant tirade. Contact his sponsors and demand that they withdraw their support. Most reasonable people, and most for-profit corporations, do not want to be identified as oppressors of the disabled. Your words will have great impact and will make the choice clear for them.

Here is a sample message you can use:

Dear Michael Savage Sponsor or Supporter:
We have learned that your company sponsors or supports Michael Savage's radio program.
On a recent program, he attacked children with autism, claiming that autism was a fraud and a scam. He went on to say:
"I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is."


Savage also used  offensive terms to describe autistic children, such as "idiots", "morons" and more.


We parents and family members of an individual with autism will not tolerate Savage's offensive and unacceptable conduct.  We respectfully request that your company withdraws their advertising dollars from his programs and, if you broadcast or syndicate his radio show, that you dismiss him immediately.


Autism affects 1 in 150 children in the USA. Each of those children has a circle of family, friends and supporters who share the concerns of the child. We would say that there are likely 10 people for every child with autism who shares that child's concerns.
When you consider this request, please consider that as many as 1 in 15 Americans will be watching your decision and how you react will have a powerful impact on their opinion of your company.


We hope and trust  that you will do the right thing.


Respectfully,


The Autism Action Network

One voice can make all the difference!
 
Individuals With Autism and Their Families Demand Respect From Trash Radio Jock Savage
Mr. Savage Must Respect Individuals With Autism and Their Families
Message To Savage: We Will Stand Up For Our Children
 
To Our Supporters:
 
AFLAC JUST INFORMED US THEY ARE PULLING THEIR ADS FROM THE SAVAGE NATION PROGRAM!
Thank You AFLAC
 
The Autism Action Network Was Contacted Today By Sears to Say They Do Not Advertise On Talk Show Host Michael Savage's Show. We say thank you to Sears for letting us know. We are removing Sears from our contact list. We are advised that Home Depot informed Autism United that they do not advertise on Savage's show.
 
Some objected to our link to the Media Matters web site. We have no connection to Media Matters and have no opinion one way or another about their work. Our link was placed on our alert because Media Matters posted the audio on their web site of Savage's  offensive comments about individuals with autism.
 
One more thing: we don't care whether or not Savage stays on the air. We really do not care what he says, except we demand respect for our children with autism.
