1. I've blocked ABC on my TV. I will NOT be watching anything ABC
shows. ABC does not exist for me anymore.

7. You do not have to watch everything to condemn it
You can see clips and listen to commentators from both sides.

I have never watched anything on Faux News.. not intentionally, to know that it is a joke.

I do not watch and "reality" or "Idol" shows to know that they are jokes

Many of us condemn poverty without, thankfully, knowing of it first hand. Though on occasions women and minority will tell the white majority that they really cannot understand "it."

15. There is NO SUBSTITUTE for experiencing what you are condemning......
first hand, as YOU so astutely pointed out.

5. Absolutely no. But I'm hopeing it will never be aired, so no decision wil
will be made. I will never, ever watch ABC again. They are the news Fox news it seems.

12. Yes and I'll take notes

13. No. I truly believe that if we...
...keep the pressure up, as I am doing. I strongly suggest that we continue calling ABC, mailing them, refusing to patronize them in any way, contacting local affiliates, imploring sponsors to pull the plug or pay the price of a determined segment of society boycotting them and their products.

Look at how far we've come in the past few days since we bagan this campaign. The film went from an ad-sponsored mini-series, to limited-commercial interruptions, to admissions by good ole Cyrus that some aspects of the film were "accidental" happenstance, a result of the film's actors' artistic license. In my opinion, there are only two possible solutions with regard to this film. One is that they correct the inaccuracies and tell the truth. The other is to pull it from the schedule. And since the former is probably no longer an option this close to 9/11, the latter should be the ultimate goal of this campaign.

14. I will neither watch nor "condemn"...
my spare time is limited, and the choice for me is a no brainer. I spend a good chunk of time searching for honest interpretations of current events...while I respect anyone's decision to view this propaganda for whatever reason... for myself mis-information is counter-productive.

16. I'm not boycotting ABC altogether, but I refuse to watch this
bunch of lies. Besides, it will upset me too much.
