Julian Castro's Censorship Ordinance draws first complaint; is it a hoax?!?

Local media reports on the first complaint filed under San Antonio's 'non-discrimination' ordinance:



Highlights:

A transgender man claims he feared for his life and left his job after coworkers threatened him.

Now he hopes the city's ordinance to protect the LGBT community that was approved four months ago forces his former employer do what he considers the right thing.

Matthew Hileman was born a woman but is now a transgender man.

"His birth certificate, driver's license, everything about him is male now," said Justin Nichols, Hileman's lawyer.

Hileman left his job as a consultant of AT&T in September. He says he had no other choice because two coworkers threatened him by posting a note on his chair after they discovered his secret gender identity.

For the record: We're not buying it.

Several years ago, we worked with AT&T.  We've seen their hyper-cautious, over-lawyered, corporate culture up close.  It is impossible to overstate the degree to which AT&T has it's head shoved up its rear end with political correctness.  This would never happen at AT&T.  Any AT&T employee who even thinks about doing something like this would be instantly banished to sensitivity training purgatory.

From the Florida teenagers to the waitress in New Jersey, time frequently exposes these stories as bogus; Cahnman's Musings suspects the San Antonio case will undergo a similar fate in the coming months.

#IWantTheBlazeBecause; a follow up letter to AT&T C.E.O. Randall L. Stevenson

Dear Sir,

I am writing to follow up on my letter from last Monday, to which you have not yet responded.  As your loyal customer, I wrote you to request you immediately add theBlazeTV to your U200 lineup on the same financial terms as MSNBC.  I am writing today to follow up on the status of this request.

Over the past six weeks, tens of thousands of loyal AT&T customers have contacted AT&T to request you add theBlaze.  AT&T has failed to respond.  Why is AT&T ignoring tens-of-thousands of loyal customers?!?

Right now, AT&T forces U200 customers to subsidize seven left-leaning networks compared to one and a half on the other side. U200 customers deserve more programming options.  As a company that claims to value competition, I trust AT&T wants to give its customers as many programming options as possible.

Competition is the lifeblood of American prosperity.  Adding theBlaze to the U200 (on the same financial terms as MSNBC) will promote the competition from which everyone benefits.  Finally, adding theBlaze is a tangible step AT&T can take to support a cutting edge company based in Texas, YOUR home state.

I am writing to follow up on my request to you from Monday, March 11.  As a loyal customer, I asked you to add theBlazeTV to your U200 lineup on the same financial terms as MSNBC.  I have yet to hear back from you.  Why not?!?  I look forward to prompt restitution of this matter.

Sincerely,
Adam Cahn

#IWantTheBlazeBecause; an Open Letter to AT&T C.E.O. Randall L. Stevenson

Mr. Randall L. Stevenson
Chief Executive Officer

Dallas, TX 75202

Dear Mr. Stevenson,

Over the past nine months, I have been an AT & T U-verse customer.  I also used to sell U-Verse.  This letter, however, is not about me.  This letter is about better serving your customers while strengthening Texas' Economy.  I'm writing to request you immediately make theBlazeTV available on your U200 television package at the same per subscriber fee you pay MSNBC.

Competition is the lifeblood of American prosperity.  Competition ensures consumers the best quality product at a fair price.  That why I'd like you to increase the news options available to AT&T U-verse customers.  Currently, the U200 package has 7 left-leaning channels compared to one and a half psuedo-conservative options. I ask you to put theBlaze on equal footing with those other networks.

The need for more news options is obvious; for example:

• #IWantTheBlazeBecause time is running out.

• #IWantTheBlazeBecause our government ran guns to Mexico.

• #IWantTheBlazeBecause theBlaze stood with Rand before it was cool.

• #IWantTheBlazeBecause they have the guts to talk about CSCOPE.

• #IWantTheBlazeBecuase they cover Islamic Cultural Subversion.

• #IWantTheBlazeBecause they showcase voices like David Barton and Buck Sexton that the rest of the media ignores.

• #IWantTheBlazeBeause of Obama in Pee-Pee.

Finally, I'd like to add theBlaze to protect and strengthen Texas' Economy.  Mercury Radio Arts, TheBlaze's parent company, is a growing company based in Texas.  Mercury's success is living proof the Texas Model works.  As a respected business leader in Texas, I am confident AT&T values its reputation as a company that promotes competition, especially when the newest competitor is a growing Texas company.  That's why I request you add theBlaze to your U200 lineup at the same per subscriber fee you pay MSNBC.

Sincerely,
Adam Cahn
