My letter to JPMorgan Chase objecting to their support of Reverend Al Sharpton and his National Action Network. The letter states: -------------------------------------------- I ask that Chase end its financial support of Al Sharpton and his organization, the National Action Network (NAN). The cold-blooded murder of two New York City police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, follows weeks of Sharpton’s vilification of law enforcement personnel. As you know, Chase has helped bankroll Sharpton for years. Most recently, the company was a sponsor of Sharpton’s 60th birthday party in New York City, which reportedly was a fundraiser for NAN that raised a million dollars. Many like-minded people have repeatedly raised the issue of your support for Sharpton, including at the JPMorgan Chase annual meeting. You cannot lay any claim to corporate social responsibility as long as you write checks to Sharpton. This is not the first time that violence and loss of life have followed Sharpton’s agitation, such as in the 1991 Crown Heights riots and the 1995 Freddy’s Fashion Mart incident. Sharpton’s involvement in these and other abhorrent episodes, such as the Tawana Brawley hoax, are a matter of record. You cannot claim that you are unaware of Sharpton’s past record of anti-Semitism and incitement. Other corporations support NAN, and I will be making the same request of them, but Chase is the biggest and most prominent corporation funding Sharpton. It is essential that Chase lead the way in disassociating corporate America from Sharpton’s demagoguery. As of yet, there has been no statement from Chase regarding a policy change. On one hand, patriots who abhor the race war being ignited by race-hustlers like Al Sharpton should be outraged that Chase fuels this hatred. On the other hand, however, should we blame Chase for this shake-down? Does one blame the merchant for paying “protection” money to the Mafia so that they do not burn down his business? Similarly, whether we like it or not, Sharpton’s protesters-for-hire are a disastrous bunch of extortionists who are very skilled at their nefarious racket.
