Write Coulter's newspaper publisher--lsalem@amuniversal.com
Ann Coulter needs to hear about the real consequences of hate speech. A few years ago, my beloved gay brother, Ben, was attacked by three thugs after they found out he was gay. He was so badly beaten he was in the hospital for a week. You can guess what word they called him over and over. Faggot.
I’ve written to 12 companies which advertised on her website per dailykos suggestions. Today, I wrote to Coulter’s newspaper syndicate, Universal Press. The EVP and editor is Lee Salem. He should drop her as a columnist for the hate speech and bigotry she promotes.
Below is his street address, his email address is lsalem@amuniversal.com
My letter:

RE: Ann Coulter’s Columns
Dear Mr. Salem:
I respectfully write to you today asking that you no longer provide a platform for a person who has proven she will flippantly use hate speech for a cheap laugh.
She uses people as punch lines for bad jokes and freely uses offensive terms to describe other human beings.
My beloved gay brother, Ben, was attacked by thugs a few years ago and beaten so badly he had to be hospitalized. What word did they use as they pummeled him? Faggot.
As the largest independent newspaper syndicate in the world, you have a responsibility to the widows of September 11th, presidential candidates, gay people, and all other Americans, not to become a platform for this type of shameful discourse.
Please put a stop to her hateful speech by no longer carrying Ann Coulter as a syndicated columnist.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response
