Here is a letter I wrote to KABC and KCBS regarding their censorship of the Detroit Project ads. The full story is on www.commondreams.org and the Detroit Project website is at

http:\/\/www.americansforfuelefficientcars.org\/ads\/default.htm<\/a>

The ads are a parody on the anti-drug ads airing today. KABC and KCBS both have email contact via their wesites.

Hi there,

I am an eighth grade English teacher at @@@@ and read on the Common Dreams website that KABC has refused to air an ad produced by Detroit Project concerning the connection between SUV's and Middle Eastern wars.

I would appreciate a detailed letter regarding your reasons for denying the advertisment. I will be teaching a unit on censorship in the press and would like to use your staion as a local example. It would be wondeful if you could actually send a spokesperson to my class so my students could ask questions about media censorship but I suppose that is too much.

Thank you for your prompt attention and response!
