Excerpted from the referenced article:

According to Variety magazine, the series is a production of Hallmark Entertainment, a subsidiary of Kansas City, Mo.-based Hallmark Cards Inc.

In a news release issued in August, Hallmark described the miniseries this way:

First Family: The Reagans – From the bright lights of tinsel town to the Oval Office and the U.S. presidency this true story follows Ronald Reagan's (Emmy and Golden Globe winner James Brolin) rise to notoriety, celebrity and world power. The four-hour dramatic miniseries chronicles Reagan's years as a Hollywood movie star, his marriage to his devoted wife Nancy (played by Emmy and Golden Globe winner Judy Davis), his tumultuous role as a father of two, and the political controversies that plunged him into the darkest chapter of his presidential life.

A call by WND seeking comment from Hallmark Entertainment spokeswoman Beth Nussbaum was not returned.

We need to contact Hallmark on this and express our opinions! Here is the link to contact Hallmark with feedback and comments: http://www.hallmarkent.com/contact_submit.cgi

Gee, a month or so ago we were told it was wrong, wrong, wrong for the ADL and other Jewish orgs to complain about Mel Gibson's movie of the Passion of Christ over scenes that they found offensive. No such restraint about purported - not even proven - scenes in this Reagan bio, even when (at least) some of the items complained of are supported by passages in Kitty Kelley's Nancy Reagan, and Patti Davis's First Family.

I just sent my comments. Thanks for the info.

As a long-time purchaser of Hallmark products (especially their ornaments), I am sickened that they are the sponsors of this disgusting movie. Thanks for the link -- I have already sent them my thoughts and if the movie is aired as planned it looks like I will start saving a LOT of money since I will no longer shop at Hallmark!

[grumple]

Me-thinks Hallmark has alot to consider, considering Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner.

[longtermmemmory]

Because Gibson wanted to make the most accurate possible. He did not just make stuff up.

Here the CBS network is just making stuff up and leaving out parts.

Imagine the Passion of Christ without the last supper or the crucifiction or the rise. In their place you have christ saying rome is good, a flea market in the temple is a good thing.

[mrbillxx]

Agreed. We usually buy a hallmark ornament for each one of our girls every year. Perhaps not this year. Comments sent.

Hallmark is also on the NRA's list of companies supporting gun control.

I'll be skipping my holiday visit to the Hallmark in the mall this year.

[longtermmemmory]

If this is true, halmark just stepped in big poop. Email's? Who ownes halmark?

[highnoon]

Thanks for the link, just submitted my displeasure. Buying products not made by Hallmark won't be that tough since there are numerous brands available. And can someone answer a simple question for me? Why in the world does a card cost three and sometimes four dollars? A CARD?!? Guess they have to pay the liberal arts majors more money to write them. I dunno....

[RightFin]

I've always wondered that about cards, too! It's crazy! I usually buy the 99 cent cards only and still get my Gold Crown points.

I shop almost exclusively in Hallmark's gold crown stores because they do carry so many more items -- but I've just called the owners of both of those stores and told them I will NOT be doing business in their stores anymore IF this Reagan movie is aired and I know they took me quite seriously as I am a big spender in those stores and am also the president of both of their Keepsake ornament clubs!

[longtermmemmory]

halmark's christmas ornaments are seasonal and very big business too.

Mel Gibsons movie is based on PROVEN FACT as presented in the Bible _GODS WORD! It does not slander Jews - Christ WAS a Jew! Those againts it slanted (or tried to slant) Gods Own Words! Non-practicing, non-faithful Jews and others were the only ones againts it!

The Hallmark sponserd bunch of kr*p they call Reagan is lies and innuendo meant to harm a Great Man and a Great President - it is LIBEL!

There are other cards and knick knacks I can buy that are not hallmark! HALLMARK is now on my boycott list!

Oh, boy!!!! Did I ever contact Hallmark!!!! We are Hallmark Shop owners and this is not to be tolerated! I have emailed the site you gave plus every single contact I have at Hallmark. Now I will start on phone calls and there will be no doubt that we do not appreciate the Hallmark Brand being associated with this piece of drek!!! They have NO right to destroy our name by dragging us into this!!!

I can't ask you to break the boycott as I feel this is the reason that there is even a consideration of not airing this thing! Please consider checking with your local Hallmark store before you boycott them - We are doing all we can, with you, to get this stopped and certainly don't need to lose your business in our privately owned shops. (The way Hallmark shops work is that they are our chief supplier but do not own us)

I am just sick!!! We are told constantly (rightly) that we are not to besmirch the Hallmark name and are called to high standards - what the heck is this? Certainly tarnishing the Hallmark name and so low that it can't even be called a standard. End of vent but this is just a sample of the message they are getting from me and many other shop owners!!! We are up in arms!!!

[wjcsux]

I don't buy anything from Hallmark. They are big supporters of the elite left. When I found out they were big supporters of the anti-gun movement, I ceased giving them any of my business.

[Dante3]

BUMP

[Rightone]

That's great! If the shop owners get after them, they will really start to feel the pressure! You are doing a real service to President Reagan's memory.

[jonalvy44]

on it!

PABAAH got a plug on WorldNetDaily today!

I have great sympathy for you and other Hallmark store owners who are/were unaware of who and what Hallmark is.

You might also mention to them that their status as major gun-grabber supporters is hurting them PLENTY and will get worse as more people find out about them. I haven't bought anything Hallmark for quite a few years because of the 2nd A issue and I have told friends who are pro 2nd A about it. I assume they have passed the information on to their friends.

I'm very sorry that this hurts good people like you and who knows how many others, but if they don't change the causes they contribute to, they'll never see another dime from me or anyone I can convince either. If they do change their ways, tell them to be sure to publicize it very LOUDLY.

In the meantime they are part of the enemy within IMO.
