SunTrust Shuns Trust of Customers in Benham Attack SunTrust Bank is making an unexpected withdrawal all right -- from Christian customers. In a mind-blowing announcement, the institution announced that its dropping religious conservatives and would-be HGTV stars, David and Jason Benham from their list of financial partners. The brothers, who were still recovering from the shock that producers had booted them from their charity show for their biblical views, found out yesterday that their bank unexpectedly cut ties with them, despite their preferred broker status. According to Daily Callers Alex Pappas, who broke the story, SunTrust has pulled all of its listed properties with the Benham brothers bank-owned property business, which includes several franchises across four states. The news came as a total shock to the brothers, without any warning or explanation. If our faith costs us our HGTV show and our business, then so be it, Jason said in a statement. We were just caught off guard with this one. Keeping us off television wasnt enough -- now this agenda to silence wants us out of the marketplace. Pressed for answers, SunTrust refused to explain. As Americans, the Benhams explained, we find ourselves at a crossroads and are forced with a decision to either stand up or sit down. Evidently, SunTrusts longstanding commitment to diversity must not include our historic Christian values. Conservatives have already lost their jobs, shows, businesses, and sense of security simply for exercising the freedom our founders died to give us. Will they be shut out of the marketplace next? Not if the Benhams have anything to say about it. The brothers refuse to give in to the forces of political correctness and are making plans to take their assets elsewhere. And if SunTrust believes theyll be the only ones, they underestimate Americans disgust for intolerance like this. If SunTrust holds your accounts, maybe its time to bank on someone else! Contact SunTrust today by calling 800-786-8787 and urge them to respect the religious freedom of their customers.
