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.

Don't bother. Hallmark will only ignore. They have a pro-democrat, pro-gun control agenda. Boycott and let the local dealers know of your boycott.

Bump for the evening people to read!

For what it's worth, I had already sent this to Hallmark before I found your address, so I re-sent it. By the way, I mean what I say. I'm ready to get my kids together, and start picketing any store that carries Hallmark products. I believe Hallmark, as a consumer product company with many distributors for it's products, is particularly vulnerable to a boycott.

Please pass this to your media advertising folks at your Corporate Headquarters. I have heard in the news that Hallmark will be one of the key commercial supporters of the travesty that CBS intends to air called "The Reagans". From the script exerpts that have made it to the press, this production is (a) historically inaccurate, to the point of libel, and (b) was produced and created by a group of leftists who had a publically known political grudge against President Reagan. Regardless of what CBS or the show's producers may claim, this movie will be regarded by many as "historical fact", because after all, who could lie by putting words into a dying, invalid's mouth. They are quite obviously engaged in historical revisionism, i.e. they're lying about history to create it in their own perverted view. Who could maliciously malign a former President like this, a man on his death bed? Why didn't CBS put the movie on in 1991 or 1992 when Reagan could have responded. Why now?! How could Hallmark sponsor such garbage. I want you to understand in no uncertain terms that I intend to boycott Hallmark products, and to promote this boycott in internet forums, among family, friends, and anyone who cares about the truth about a great American who served his country well. I may even try to organize pickets of local Hallmark stores, or establishments who carry Hallmark products. I will be fighting Hallmark long after CBS has collected their fees, and moved on to something else, unless, of course, Hallmark cares to drop support for the movie. It cannot be fixed; it's as corrupt as those who wrote, directed, produced, and acted in it. < name, address, etc >

I emailed them and told them my Hallmark card buying days are over, and thankfully, there's a lot of healthy competition out there, so they won't be missed by me at all.

Great letter to Hallmark! We need to keep this going and keep after the sponsors. CBS is buckling right now and we need to keep the heat on the whole bunch! Force them to sell to Showtime and then go after Showtime, as well.

[Prince Charles]

Done.

Interesting that Hallmark would sponser this. This is an affront to the Christians and all who supported Reagan. Also interesting that Hallmark owns DAYSPRING in Arkansas who is the largest supplier of Christian Greeting Cards in the US.

Great letter to Hallmark!

The note they returned tried to distinguish between themselves and their entertainment division. As far as I know, they're owned by the same parent Corporation.

They must have a Clinton-ian class spinner under their employ. No matter. Hallmark is garbage.

Haha! No sooner did I post the above msg to keep the heat on CBS, that they dropped and sold to Showtime because of our pressure. Along with letting Hallmark know your feelings, let Showtime know, too! Here is the link.

GREAT! We need to keep this up. WE are winning this battle!

Just sent my comments:

Be advised....if you want to broadcast misguided yellow journalistic programming then go ahead and show the mini-series "The Regan's" but be advised, there will be repercussions. The "silent majority" already had the show chased from the Tiffany Network and we WILL continue to fight or, fight back against those that falsely demean one of our nations greatest President's with nothing but liberal propaganda!

Just like in your ads, Hallmark: I will turn the card lovingly over and look for the Hallmark label... If it's there, I WON'T BUY THE CARD.

I just sent a letter. I thought Hallmark presentations were always 'heartwarming'! They certainly missed the mark this time!
