*******************************************
We have changed the date of the FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN RALLY from Monday, June 15 to Tuesday, June 16.
The time and place remains the same: 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm on the sidewalks outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is located at 1697 Broadway in New York City.
If you live within a 4 hour drive of New York City, please make an effort to attend this event. You can RSVP on our Facebook Event, located at:

Please bring your own signs (be creative but PG rated!) to the event.
Also, for the technologically oriented please bring:
1. Video cameras
2. Laptops equipped with Wi-Fi and Webcams
We are going to try and send out some live Video Skype of the Tuesday event. If you are Video Skype capable, please email your skype id to me at michaelpatrickleahy@gmail.com . We want to see if we can your live feed of the event to selected new media outlets.
You are one of more than 3,500 people who have signed the letter we will be sending to CBS, telling them we won't be purchasing products sold by sponsors of David Letterman's Late Show until he is fired. Your help over the next few days is critical to the success of this project.
Please take some time on Sunday to email all your friends and invite those who live near New York City to attend the Tuesday FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN RALLY. Also, please promote our site http://www.firedavidletterman.com by tweets on Twitter, phone calls to local talk radio hosts, postings on your blogs, and comments on other websites and blogs.
In addition, Monday should be a great day to call the talk radio programs to promote the Tuesday rally. Wonder who will be the first one on this list to make it on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Glenn Beck?
I will personally be promoting the Tuesday event on Tammy Bruce's radio program Monday at 12:30 pm EDT, and don't forget that our own project colleague John Ziegler will be talking about the rally and other breaking issues on Monday during his 11 am to 1 pm PDT radio program on 1260 AM, KGIL in Los Angeles.
Details of the Tuesday rally, including names of speakers, will be announced at a press conference to be held in New York City at 1 pm EDT on Monday. Laureen Cummings and Gwendolyn Lindsey-Jackson will be speaking at the press conference. In addition, we currently anticipate that a representative of a New York City based women's rights organization will also be speaking at the press conference.
We have a great team to field press inquiries.
Gwendolyn Lindsey-Jackson, attorney, John Ziegler, radio talk show host and producer of the documentary Media Malpractice, and New York State Assemblyman Brian Kolb have all agreed to be the "point people" to field press inquiries, effective immediately.
You can find their contact e-mails at our website, http://www.firedavidletterman.com.
Gwendolyn Lindsey-Jackson, Laureen Cummings, and Anna Barone will serve as our on-site leadership team during the rally itself on Tuesday.
Thanks for all your help ! If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to send me an email with your thoughts.
Best Regards,
Michael Patrick Leahy
Thanks for the update.
