Heres what you do
call 877-382-4357 this is the FTC. You will need to keep pressing numbers until you run out of menu options I think the last number is going to be a 5 then you will get transferred to an aperator. Tell the operator you want to report a case of false advertising. Then give the operator all the following information. Be sure to state the company name as WILEY REIN & FIELDING LLP as KRCA are just the call letters of the station.

You will then be able to update information on that complaint in the future. But you will not have access to the status, nor will anyone else, to that complaint after it’s filed. They said that the only entity to view this complaint will be the individual investigator for the FTC.
They also said they don’t investigate single individual complaints. They do search for patterns and will investigage when there is a large number of similar complaints against a company. Well, we have our work ahead of us…
Please help out and call these numbers and voice your complaint, even better register a complaint with the FTC.

UPDATE 4/28/05 1020HRS
McIntyre in the Morning is planning to send a message to Channel 62:
Noticias 62 is a Spanish language channel, which believes California is Mexico. They advertise their beliefs with giant billboards. Well guess what? California is NOT Mexico. Noticias 62 is owned by Liberman Broadcasting, Inc.
Send the rats at Liberman a thank you for exposing themselves as part of the reconquista movement. A simple floral arrangement (whatever you can afford) should be sent to:

UPDATE 5/6/05 1940HRS
Sorry, been busy with work so I didn’t have time to update a great bit of information.
It looks like Clearchannel has issued a statement that it will change their billboards:
William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, is declaring victory after receiving an e-mail from Clear Channel. The note said:
“In response to community feedback, Clear Channel Outdoor spoke with the local advertiser and reached agreement on revised ad copy. That copy is expected to be posted by 5/6/05. Anyone seeking further comment is invited to contact the TV station directly. Channel 62 phone 818-563-5722.”
A poster on the group’s message board referred to Clear Channel’s use of words in the e-mail, saying, “Community feedback? Ha! What a PC statement! More like community OUTRAGE.”
Americans for Legal Immigration says there were 75 billboards placed in various places in the L.A. area.
Victory!

Seriously? Wow! This reminds me of the old Absolut ad that was around in Mexico a few years ago. It depicted America as how it would be if Mexico still ‘owner’. Absurd! Things like this really get me going.
