Well, I can’t trace my family back to William. And as your site states it’s not know if William had any children. (After having Mel portray him, I’m not that eager to make that link.)

However, my grandfather’s name was Stirling – William defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. And our family has been traced back to King David I of Scotland.

So, heed my words…. ;o)

On a more serious note, companies do not want to be associated with controversial issues if possible.

Here’s an online petition you can sign.

Great suggestions on how to battle the situation.
But with a name like Wallace, who would expect otherwise? I will follow your advice !

Contact the companies with whom you do business and express your displeasure.

ALEC (and Limbaugh) have been loosing income because people have complained to advertisers.

Make it clear that you are going to take your business elsewhere and attempt to get others to do the same as long as they support organizations that produce harm.

It gets worse. Take a look at their sponsor list and there are some well known names. For me Amazon and Ebay were the shockers because I buy from them and imagined them to be reasonably wise about protecting their public image.

Amazon has been easy to replace, but I’m not familiar with any auction sites that still compete with Ebay. If anyone has any suggestions it is appreciated.
