Remove the Rick Perry "Strong" ad!
Remove the Rick Perry "Strong" ad!
The Issue
In addition to it being highly offensive as both a lesbian and member of the Armed Forces, this ad is clearly in violation of Youtube's Terms of Use/Community Guidelines...
excerpt from Youtube's Community Guidelines:
"We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity)."
Were this video to be taken down, the action would:
1) reemphasize the need for separation of church and state.
2) uphold Youtube's guidelines and show that no matter how "important" someone is, the rules still apply.
3) send a message that, although one is entitled to their own opinions, it is decidedly NOT allowable to attempt to pass hate speech off as an acceptable campaign platform.
Rick Perry is paralleling apples and carburetors here. Please help me give him a reality check. Let's try for as many signatures as there are Youtube views.
