"Fact, Not Fantasia"

Protest at the Disney Lot TODAY in Burbank at 4pm

http://couragecampaign.org/
The pressure against Disney and ABC to pull the plug on their fictitious docu-drama, “The Path To 9/11” is mounting. President Clinton, through his attorney, has condemned Disney as "despicable" for "airing a fictional version of what is a serious and emotional event for our country. No reputable organization," he said, "should dramatize 911 for a profit at the expense of the truth."

The families of September 11 victims have weighed in on the controversy, telling "entertainers" not to "promote misleading or incorrect information as fact to the public." As residents of Los Angeles County, we have the ability to take this fight to the gates of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. We will do so TODAY, Friday at 4pm.

Join Courage Campaign and your fellow activists at the Disney Studios in Burbank in front of the West Alameda Gate, between S. Buena Vista and Keystone Streets.

Let’s make it clear to the executives at ABC that the events of September 11th cannot be re-written by right wing conservatives to suit their political agenda.

How 'bout this for a sign (OR EVEN BETTER A CHANT TO THE MICKEY MOUSE THEME SONG!):

A-B-C
G-O-P
Y-U-C-K-Y!

What signs can you think of for tomorrow and Sunday's protests (Why stop now, put your weekend aside and protest here or at a local ABC affiliate!)

Hey! I just had a great idea. Let's have all of LA DUers amd San Diegans protest at the DisneyLand Front Gate and yell the above chant. Media could come and Disney will freak. Flash Mob'em!

1. REC.

[Dems Will Win]

57. DailyKOS has photos!

Around 30 people by 4:15, people were chanting "Bad Mouse! Bad Mouse!" as the execs left the exit gate. MORE:

2. Cheers to all of them!

[QuestionAll...]

3. that's just goofy...

:D

just kidding.
k&r!

[_dynamicdems]

4. K & R

[Jacobin]

5. Wish I were there.

:kick:

[kpete]

6. Anything more this weekend?

I'm in San Diego, I can't get there today - let me know if there are more events...

K&R

[Niche]

7. We're there!

:kick:

[femrap]

8. Go get 'em DUers!!!! nt

[Janice325]

9. I hope someone is able to take pictures and post them later!

Good luck, and stay SAFE!
k&r

[jaysunb]

59. Look here...

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/9/8/195843/7526

There will be more later at utube and others.

[Beaverhausen]

10. Damn- let me see if I can sneak out of work early to do this

I'm about a mile from there.

[Dems Will Win]

12. Go Beaverhausen, it's so much fun, they'll probably go for HOURS!

TAKE, POST PHOTOS!

[Beaverhausen]

15. I don't have a camera - I know, I suck

I will definitely go by on my way home but it might not be until 5ish. Are you going?

There is another location that is even better- on Riverside where Disney and ABC parking lots let out. But I'm sure the execs use the Alameda gate.

[Dems Will Win]

18. I'm on the Wrong Coast! But I hear there's going to be a lot of

cute girls there.

Cute guys too!

This is starting to remind of the good ol days, the Sixties.

Ooop, I guess I just dated myself!

[bliss_eternal]

20. You don't suck...

:hi: I'm just excited thinking of the looks on those executives faces, when they see all those protesters. They'll wakeup to the nightmare they've created. :rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

33. I don't even have a camera on my cell phone. But I am going

my boss left work early and darn it- I'm going to this protest. I probably should leave work at 4:30! I'll report back next week (no computer access on the weekends.)

[bliss_eternal]

11. Anyone know what time the weekend protests are...?

At Burbank and also at the Disneyland resort? We also need to know where--they don't really have a "front gate" to Disneyland like they did years ago...but there are a few areas that are highly visible to passersby...

:hi:

[Dems Will Win]

16. I'M NOT THERE BUT IF YOU COULD ORGANIZE OVER DU

There is the square just before the front gates. I would show up there first, and they'll move you back to whereever. The point is to get on the TV News which would almost certainly happen.

We can keep showing up in that square all day in a continuing protest and make up chants like the one in the OP.

By the way, I bet the protest today goes late! So if you can't get there at 4, go at 5, 6 and 7.

[Lindacooks]

13. Here's another chant:

A-B-C
G-O-P
L-I-A-R-S

[Dems Will Win]

17. Much better!

To turn their own song against them!

The irony of all of this!

[katinmn]

23. That's a great chant. LOL!

:)

[bliss_eternal]

14. I'm going to cut and paste this in the CA forums, too...

So maybe more southern Californians can see it... Maybe Code Pink would like to get involved.

:hi:

Good work, guys!

45. why did * black out 28 pages of WH report to 9/11 commission? (nt)

[kerry-is-my-prez]

21. Why Did BushCo ignore the warnings about9/11?

[Imagevision]

55. Why did Bush fight against a 9-11 investigation...!

[katinmn]

22. Excellent! Thanks for going and representing!

:applause:

[Pab Sungenis]

24. The Revisionist Club song.

"Who's distorting all the facts
'bout recent history?
ABC TV AND DOUBLE-YOU DISNEY!"

"Who's filling up the airwaves with
ideology?
ABC TV AND DOUBLE-YOU DISNEY!"

"Disney lies! (NINE-ONE-ONE!)
Disney lies! (NINE-ONE-ONE!)
Their docudrama is so full of lies!
(LIES! LIES! LIES!)"

"Just ask yourself, would Uncle Walt
Cave to the GOP? Like
ABC TV AND DOUBLE-YOU DISNEY?"

[bbernardini]

26. Two words: BRIL. LIANT. nt

[Pab Sungenis]

32. Feel free to use.

Parody lyrics come easily to me.

[Seabiscuit]

40. Excellent! nt

48. Hoot!

:applause:

[celtdem]

25. I'm not in LA, but I can kick and recommend! nt

[Liberalynn]

27. Not from L.A. either but

:kick: and go :dem:

from a NY State Dem!

[huskerlaw]

28. I wish I could go!

Any idea if they'll still be there after 6? I'd love to join, but I'm stuck at work.

On edit: Why Disney instead of the ABC studio building that's practically across the street?

[Beaverhausen]

30. That's what I said above...the Riverside gates are ABC and Disney

but I think if they are trying to get any local media coverage the Alameda gate is better...right down the street from NBC at least.

Plus I think the Disney execs use the alameda gate.

Disclaimer...I temped at Disney for several months a few years ago...

[huskerlaw]

42. Hmmm...

I guess that makes sense, but it's being aired on ABC, not the Disney Channel. I realize it's the same company, but the execs who are actually making the decision about yanking or not presumably don't work at the Disney building...or am I totally wrong?

[Beaverhausen]

43. Iger is in the Disney building

And I think he is the ultimate 'decider.' But I do think ABC execs are in the ABC building.

[huskerlaw]

46. That's cool

I'm sure the organizers know more about the situation than I do. I would just hate to see them aiming their fire at the wrong people.

[blm]

29. Disney - Lapdogs for the Katrina Administration

.

[Beaverhausen]

31. Check this out - local anti-war vigil group is going to join this one

There is a group that has been protesting the war for over 3 years - since it started- every friday evening on a busy street corner about 5 miles from Burbank.

I just got an email from them that they are going to all try and go to the Disney protest!!!

[bliss_eternal]

35. That's great news...question for you...

Do you have any idea about how many people attend those protests? It would be helpful to have a number when I talk to the media about how many attending...

:)

[bliss_eternal]

34. Just called NBC attempting to get news coverage for this:

They said they probably won't cover it and think they will pass. :( Given that it's a competing network, if they cover a protest about their show, they feel it is like giving ABC free publicity and driving people to their (ABC's)show.

I can't believe the way the corporate media thinks these days. :banghead:

Well, one no isn't going to stop me--I'm off to call other socal stations. Someone will be interested...

[Beaverhausen]

36. The group planning it is also trying to get media coverage

I know them from way back in the Dean days. I would think they will get NBC which is right down the street to cover it.

[bliss_eternal]

41. I hope so...they guy I talked to was discouraging...

:(

[Beaverhausen]

44. well I'm sure we can get some coverage

now I HAVE to get some work done so I can leave early... :hi:

[Seabiscuit]

37. Go Dems! We are not going take the GOP's B.S. anymore! K&R

Right on! You know we can't lie down on this one and the constant GOP distortion of the truth has got to stop. Kick and Rec.:kick:

How about for a chant:

A..B..C..
G..O..P..
L.O.U.S.E.


P.S. Has anyone found out who is paying for the ad time?

[Christa]

38. Good Luck!!!

I wish I could have join you.

Have a wonderful time!!!

Give them hell :evilgrin: :toast: :bounce: :spank: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause:

[DearAbby]

39. K&R this with my support....GO LA DUers!

[readmoreoften]

47. A-B-C...G-O-P...F-U-C-K-U! That's my chant. /nt

[Mark E. Smith]

49. The Mouse Is A louse

Mark E. Smith is leaving his office now. See you in a few.

[bliss_eternal]

50. KCAL9 & CBS2 were interested, as well as...

KCOP 13. KCAL 9 & CBS 2 are sister stations. KTLA 5 didn't have a human I could speak to :eyes: So I left the information on their news tip voice mail line.

Now I'll try a few newspapers--they are always looking for interesting pieces! :)

[Joanne98]

51. Who would Jesus SMEAR?

[Bluzmann57]

52. The protest is going RIGHT NOW!

And I wish you all good luck. But all you good people in California, know that we who are elsewhere are behind you 100% and are with you in spirit.

60. Welcome to DU, tblue!

:hi: Thanks for all the e-mail addresses!

[IWantAChange]

62. get this list of contacts to the DU masses

thousands upon thousands of emails to this group - commenting on how many tens of thousands of American citizens aren't going to be frequenting Disney theme parks because of this affront to decency can have some serious influence.

[jaysunb]

54. I just got back...

and it felt really good !

There was lots of horn blowing support as well as the usual assholes that seem to think 911 wouldn't have happened if it weren't for people like us.
I mean, DUH !!
The Disney goons (security staff) made us several times, taking pics and vids as they drove slowly by......we were not intimidated.

A great day for democracy !

[Dems Will Win]

56. About how many people were there?

Were there signs? Did you do the chant or something else?

[jaysunb]

58. Here's some pics

61. Thanks for posting that link!

[cboy4]

63. DUers rock . . . but especially California DUers! ;)

:puke:

[Hubert Flottz]

64. Who would have ever Dreamed that Pinocchio would go on to

become one of the more truthful characters in the Disney production crew. He must have gotten the job writing the Disney political flock-U-Dramas. And the church group behind this totally political production, probably still has tax exempt status like Political Pat.

[cboy4]

65. Pinocchio....the more truthful characters . . .

:spray:

[mikeyj84]

66. Protest

How about boycotting everything disney

[RadiDem]

67. I'll go Monday

If it's still happening

Already thought of a sign.

Disney + GOP =

Always
Blame
Clinton

Let's not forget that Walt was a famous anti Semite. Let me think of a sign for that.....

[RadiDem]

68. Plans for Monday?

Anyone?
