Why not escalate? PICKET LOCAL ABC ADVERTISERS.
Call your local ABC affiliate. Let them know that if they air "The Path to 9/11," then you're not only going to boycott their advetisers, you're going to take to the streets and actually PICKET those advertisers.

Then watch your local ABC affiliate for a couple hours. If you have TiVo, fast forward to the commercials so you're not infected. Make notes of the largest and most frequent local advertisers. Then let them know that as long as they advertise on the ABC affiliate which is about to broadcast a free 6-hour campaign commercial full of lies about 9/11, you're not only not going to boycott them, you'll be leading informational pickets so other people know that their company supports lies and fear-mongering.

If ABC doesn't back down, and the advertiser doesn't pull their spots, be prepared to go ahead and picket. Print up copies of the two-pager about the REAL truth about Clinton's anti-terrorist efforts, and write in the top margin of each something like "GENO'S STEAKS SUPPORTS WPVI-TV, WHICH IS SPREADING LIES ABOUT 9/11!" Then hand them out on the street or sidewalk (public property) in front of the advertisers.

A few places might buckle under and pull their ads in the coming weeks.

1. Can you provide a link to the "two-pager" about Clinton's efforts?
I have been looking for it but can't seem to locate it (I thought I bookmarked it but apparently not).

Thanks in advance.

2. Protest at ABC in Sacramento on Sunday
It's channel 10, if you live in this area.

3. Everytime we mention "the path to 9-11", we should do it like this:
The Path to 9-11

I emailed my local station yesterday and told them I'd be contacting their advertisers. :hi:

7. so did I, but I also sent emails to every single dept. and the weather
guy claimed to have no part on this matter, just the news people, and then I sent my response to him cc all other depts. and some of the other ones replied they would take my complaint to the "top." Maybe some of the staff is against the show as well...
