AMA to NBC-TV on Liquor Ads: "Don't Trade Our Kids for Cash."

February 27, 2002 – Today, the American Medical Association (AMA) ran a full-page ad in the New York Times protesting NBC's decision to air liquor ads on TV.

The AMA ad, titled "A Message to Parents from the American Medical Association," shows a television set with a warning on it's screen: "WARNING: Watching NBC May Be Hazardous To Your Children's Health."

The ad provides a link which allows readers to send a letter to Bob Wright, Chairman and CEO of NBC. The email link can be found on the AMA's special website established for this effort: http://www.liquorfreetv.com.

We urge everyone concerned about this issue to send an email to Mr. Wright.
