So, Glenn Beck has already lost 59 sponsors due to a very successful boycott effort spearheaded by Color of Change and supported by others (Democrats.com, FoxNewsBoycott and, of course, individuals independently contacting sponsors).
The purpose of this dairy is simple: (1) to organize outreach to his (few) remaining sponsors and (2) to keep track of this effort in an orderly and useful way.
To date (9/09/09), here is a partial list of sponsors that either: 1) have run ads during Glenn Beck's show in the past and haven’t confirmed yet that they will no longer run ads or 2) continue to run ads on the Glenn Beck Program.

[Note to the surly commenter: If you want to write something negative, follow your own advice about the irrelevance and insignificance of this effort, and don't even bother. You're more than welcome not to participate. But, I'm not going to listen to you denigrate us for standing up to folks, like Glenn Beck, that dominate our national conversation. Sorry, we've followed your "ignore" route for too long and it's gotten us shut out. But, thanks for taking the time to read the diary anyway though.]
