[H]ow do we demand what we want?

Though money is not the only thing driving Hollywood, they still consume a lot of it and if the well goes dry then they'll stop putting out liberal propaganda. So make the well go dry.

Or to be more specific, make the well go dry on Hollywood products that are liberal propaganda or which have outspoken liberals in the cast/director, etc. And in contrast, make sure to support Hollywood (or other film/TV) products that support a conservative perspective or recognized conservatives in cast/crew.

That means you don't go to movies very often. I refuse to watch Avatar, for example. And I won't watch anything with a long list of actors and other activists in it. I saw Avengers before Joss Whedon came out with his anti-capitalist rant and won't be supporting anything else he does.

That means you don't watch a lot of prime-time / big network TV. That means you occasionally send a letter to the corporate offices of a studios reminding them that you aren't supporting their products and why. That's not a 'demand' but it is a statement that they will respect . . . or go broke.

And then you get a lot of other people to do the same, starting with your friends. If we are even approximately a center-right country, then there are at least 100 million people who feel like 'something should be done.' Get them to do something. This note is one of the things that I am 'doing' about it.

The wife and I haven’t attended a movie at a movie theater in ten years. We do subscribe to several premium cable movie channels of which I am imploring her to cancel. She says they come with a package deal for our cable bill, so we can’t cancel for a year or two. But at the first opportunity, out they go.

"That means you don't watch a lot of prime-time / big network TV."

I started opting out of "prime-time/big network TV" some time ago.

Haven't missed it and I've got a lot more time for reading...The Bible!
