**LINK TO PROTEST ABC** (OUR LAST BUSINESS DAY FOLKS!!)
http://thinkprogress.org/tellabc

This will take you no more than 30 seconds to complete....please do so if you haven't.

THEY ARE GETTING "SLAMMED" AT ABC!!

GREAT JOB......KEEP IT UP!!!

Driven by the Internet's main liberal Web sites, the outrage over ABC's dramatization was reminiscent of the 2003 conservative furor that forced CBS to pull an unflattering Ronald Reagan biopic. Phones rang off the hook and e-mail boxes were clogged all day at Scholastic Inc., ABC and Disney. "We're getting slammed," said one frazzled ABC staffer.

25. Contact ABC's big customers/partners like the NCAA too...
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 08:17 AM by calipendence
If you can trigger one call from the NCAA to ABC expressing concern over this, that will hit them where it really hurts!

27. love this part:
The chorus of outrage - ranging from Clinton cabinet members to liberal bloggers to 9/11 families to ordinary moms canceling trips to Disneyland - put ABC and parent company Disney under tremendous pressure just days before the movie's premiere.


Go ordinary moms! I didn't even know that was happening, but that is great!
