The Daily Mail reports that people are flocking to support Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson after the network, A&E, placed him on indefinite suspension from the hit show after executives at the network took issue with remarks he made in an interview with men's magazine, GQ. A network publicist accompanied him to the interview, but was not present when he made the remarks, called ‘homophobic' by some. Still, Robertson's views were well-known to the network and their censure seems likely to be designed to garner media attention and pander to a tiny vocal leftist minority.
Indeed, a consumer backlash over the suspension has driven massive sales of Duck Dynasty branded merchandise at Walmart in support of the Robertsons.
Walmart announced at their annual shareholders meeting that the best-selling item of apparel for both men and women this year was the reality show's T-shirt, according to Forbes
Action to take: Ironically, financial support from buying merchandise also benefits A&E to a large degree. Really want to tell A&E what you think? Share this article and use the contact information below to communicate with A&E directly!

Because of A&e decision to blackball duck dynasty I refuse to support A&e and will no longer watch any shows in their network. If the A&e network makes this right with Phil Robertson then and only then will I go back to A&e . I am appalled and ashamed of a&e’s decision.
I will be contacting my cable company and demanding that they remove A&E from my list of channels
