I understand that you may or may not care about any of this. But if you are a religious or spiritual person at all, or have people of faith in your company, I urge you to ask some hard questions about your continued support of this show.
MEDIA WATCH
Hate begets violence, as recent news events have shown. Remini’s rants have spawned hundreds of threats of violence against my church and its members and leaders. A woman drove her car through the front doors of one of our churches in Texas and could easily have killed the people who were standing in the lobby or children who had been playing in the nursery earlier. She told police that Leah Remini had inspired her to violence.
MEDIA WATCH
The show your company supported by advertising spawned immediate documented death threats to all members of the Church of Scientology. The coincidence was uncanny.
MEDIA WATCH
I personally cannot and will not support a corporation, no matter how much I like their product, that lends its name and advertising dollars to a program that forwards hatred against my religion.
MEDIA WATCH
Skechers is promoting religious hate through your advertising support of the Leah Remini series about Scientology on A&E. Support of this show is equivalent to supporting the Ku Klux Klan’s views against non-whites and Catholics or supporting Nazi views against Jews.
MEDIA WATCH
You are advertising on a network that has blatantly supported religious discrimination which has led to acts of violence against people of faith. It is disgusting and I’d like your help to make this stop.
MEDIA WATCH
The show “Aftermath” promotes hatred toward one particular religion, the Church of Scientology. That hatred causes the insane to commit acts of violence.
MEDIA WATCH
Do you think it is smart, funny, or otherwise appropriate to sponsor a show that is fomenting hatred and animosity toward a religion? Is this your idea of an intelligent use of your shareholder’s money?

Scientology policy, first written in 1964 by its Founder, L. Ron Hubbard, stated:
2. If the disability is curable within the skill of the physical practitioner to require the person be so treated before Scientology counseling be undertaken.
MEDIA WATCH
In this current climate of political and religious unrest, it is astounding that you would add to the fray with your support of this show, especially since Leah Remini’s allegations are untrue. This is a direct attack on Scientology and its adherents. If you had done your homework, you would know that Scientology brings real help and hope worldwide.
