It's time for us to kick a**. Question is: How are we all going to do it?
I think this 9/11 mini series drama might be the best thing that has happened to us (democrats) in years.
People are PISSED and they aren't going to take it anymore. Those republican idiots thought showing it 2 months prior
to a big election would guarantee a repub win~ I could not disagree more. Their evil plot has backfired in a big way.
I know democrats who have been pretty mum about most issues until right now- everyone I know is ON FIRE over this... even a
repub co-worker got all worked up yelling about how this makes all repubs look like desperate liars. (I didn't say anything, just laughed in my head)


So here it is.. I think we need to organize a boycott of Disney. I think it needs to be specific and PAINFUL. (I can't believe I am going to say this...... BUT..... I am willing to not watch LOST this season. ) So I want to know, whats up against LOST that we can all watch? Perhaps something on C-Span?

Can we do the following things:

1. Not watch ANY ABC channel shows~ including ABC Family.

2. Not purchase any products from the disney store, disney catalog or anywhere else for that matter- INCLUDING DVDs.

3. Boycott ABC radio.

4. Cancel any Disney credit cards that we may have.

5. Cancel any Disney vacation plans.


I'm SO PISSED I want to throw away any Disney memorabilia I see and burn it. They have gone TOO FAR and I've had it.



I'm pretty pissed at iTunes as well- is it time to cancel my account? It just might be.


Anyone know of any other disney products that we can boycott? I am all in.

1. How about employees of Disney , how do they feel about this whole
...situation? There are several hundred thousand Disney employees at the Disney theme parks, studios, retail stores and of course at ABC and ABC affiliates. Have any of these folks chimed in on this? Are there any insiders who know what may be prompting this? I have to believe that the people who work at the various Disney enterprise affiliations have opinions as to what is going on.

3. When you work for one of These Conglomerates, you are NOT entitled
to have a private opinion other than the corporate "talking points" on published newsletters. :(

4. Disney treat their employees like SHIT
I know someone who works for ABC radio- during the strike he basically lost everything because of disney policies.

2. I trashed all my Mickey and Mini (stuffed) Mouses ...
This is WAR against the consolidated CORPORATE Media beginning with ABC and Disney. :P
