The online petition, titled "Support The Duggars," the public is encouraged to show their support of wholesome entertainment by pitching in via signatures to bring back the cancelled "19 Kids and Counting." The petition reads, "While the Duggar family may not be perfect and they've had difficulties like so many other families, their show WAS one of the few clean, family-friendly shows on TV." It went on to state, "Sadly, there isn't much a family can watch together any longer. The airwaves are full of terrible, trashy television! It isn't right that the Duggars must be forced off the air while the filthy shows remain!"
Referencing the recent debacle involving another family show, "Duck Dynasty" and the network airing the reality series, A&E, the supporters of the "19 Kids and Counting" claim that signing the online petition could potentially inspire TLC to reconsider its decision to cancel. The petition reads, "We want our voices to be heard! We all know the power of standing together-just ask A&E what happened when they cancelled Duck Dynasty!" To further point out the importance of keeping the show on air, the supporters of the Duggar family cited the deteriorating values of this generation and the need to retain the role models that uphold good moral virtues. The petition further adds, "It seems that every day in America our values and way of life are disappearing. We must all stand together."
At the moment, no member of the Duggar family and the stars featured in "19 Kids and Counting" has provided an official statement regarding the online petition.
