Demand that Fox News apologize to Pagans and Wiccans
Pagans, nationwide were very insulted and hurt by the words Fox News had to say about our religion this past Sunday. Fox News reporters Tucker Carlson and Terry Bruce ridiculed Paganism, it's followers, and provided false information about the religion. Respect was not one of the qualities shown by
Sending Letters to Fox News
In three days from now, I am going to send a handwritten letter tho their main building in New York. I hope you all will do the same.
Here is a mere template:
Dear Fox and Friends,
I am apart of the Wiccan/ Pagan Community, and what you did on your broadcast …
Why is this campaign important to you?
I think that Wiccans should have the same freedom as Christians do. Our holidays should be represented, just as much as Christmas, or Easter, or Ash Wednesday.
Morey O'Connell GOT YOU COVERED
FOX NEWS are a handful of corrupt republicans who only want to spread propoganda all across our great nation and discriminate every non-aryan and every non-christan believe me i used to be a republican supporter until 2008 after obama was elected i found out that palin went rouge and started to find negative behavior within the republican party from their i've betrayed every republican i have known for years from their i've have my heart and mind set for the truth i only agree with the republicans on their social ideas and their 2nd admendmant ideas but the rest i agree with is in favor of the democtats i respect every non-aryan and every non-christan despite the beliefs but the discrimination of the pagans and wiccans are inhumaine and i don't care if they use the 1st admendmant to do it FOX better apologize otherwise they have to face a very pissed off pagan and wiccan race
People should take a minute and Tweet Tucker Carlson and tell his how he exposed his ignorance and religious intolerance.
they are actor spewing what they are given to spew
Everyone needs to leave the foul language , the attacks , etc ... out of it. Naturally, we see this as foolish ... but attacking Tucker .. or attacking the network or the people who answer the phones there ... is NOT the answer. This needs to be .. and SHOULD BE .. handled in a mature, civilized and adult manner. As Wiccans, we do NOT condone that kind of behavior. Someone can sit and call me foul mouthed names all day long ..I don't care ... but we do NOT get on the internet and attack folks from a media network .. and call them names, cuss them out, etc. We shouldn't be doing that to ANYONE. Period. We must WALK OUR TALK. And if we're going to be a peaceful people, then we have to demonstrate that .. and handle situations of this nature .. in a peaceful manner. I told the woman that we were shocked to see someone on NATIONAL TELEVISION .. giving their PERSONAL FEELINGS about a topic , rather than giving a factual report. She agreed that it wasn't right. And, she also stated that they appreciated the apology. YES, I apologized on BEHALF OF THE WICCAN COMMUNITY .. for the little twits .. who called Tucker an "asshat" .. and "asshole" .. and "douche" yesterday. THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE .. and I do not want ANYONE "representing me, those I love and care for in this path .. or my faith, my religion and path" .. in that respect ... that is NOT who we are .. and it is NOT what we're about. Not at all !!
Now .. on top of all of that ... there is a huge difference in Wicca, Pagan and Witches ... all three are something different .. they are not the same things. Wiccan Witches are Pagan, yes, but not all Pagans are Wiccan. Wiccans are Witches, yes ... but not all Witches are Wiccan. All Witches are not Pagan .. and not all Pagans are Witches. The sooner everyone learns this ... the better off they'll be. I do hope things transpire as she said they would tomorrow morning on the news ... we can only wait and see. IN THE MEANTIME .. it might be wise to just leave it alone. As the old saying goes ; "A slander is like a hornet; if you can't kill it dead the first time, better not strike at it."

MAKE IT BIGGER THEN 20,000 there's more us us then that!
who the heck are you people to bash Wiccan Paagan Community,that has been apart of this world for hundreds of years, learn your facts before you speak, Im trying to learn my self.
what state for the fox news,,,,
Guys-please sign. Considering Paganism and Wicca are older religions than Christianity or Catholicism, we need to respect these as well. Especially when misinformation will always cause more harm than good...even if you don't support either-at least sign because we all should have the same rights to worship...
Your right on the money Andrew. Personally I'M offended by the very thought of all references to 'God' being taken out of public schools. And now you have assholes who want us to say "One nation under____with liberty, and justice for all." I say just keep your mouth shut if you don't want to say GOD-but how dare you fight to have it expunged completely? We ALL worship God in one way or another-whether we call him Jehova, Yaweh, Allah, Buddha, or even 'Mother Earth' -get over it people! To each his own...
I agree, as a country we do have freedom of religion, for now.
I'm not sure "pretty positive" is what I'd get from the oreiley show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMmL-aCMXfI.
