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 >

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.
