Subject: Sirius Radio political channels

Dear Ms. Schupf --
I am currently shopping for satellite radio services. I see in your channel line-up that your provide a conservative "values" channel you call Sirius Patriot and a liberal "talk" channel you call Sirius Left.
I am deeply offended by this comparison. The liberals I know (myself included) hold their political views due to deeply held values and are patriotic. The conservatives I know embrace the terms "right" and "talk".
Sirius is suggesting with its labels that liberals like myself do not have values and are not patriotic. I am upset, troubled and angered by this implication. One of the reasons I am looking for satellite radio services is for political coverage. If this is the attitude that Sirius has towards liberals, I see no reason to give you my business.
I hope that Sirius will give serious consideration towards renaming their political stations.
