Here is what our sample letter says.....

Dear Mr. Mitchell,

I have read many recent press accounts regarding the current situation at Disney, and I am asking you, in your fiduciary duty as a Disney board member, to hold Michael Eisner responsible for the Company’s poor performance over the last eight years.

You and your fellow board members represent the interests of shareholders in their investment in Disney. I am alarmed by reports of SEC investigations into Mr. Eisner and the Company. I am concerned that there is no clear succession plan in place at the Company and that your powers as Presiding Director are quite limited. I am also deeply dissatisfied by the return an investment in Disney has generated relative to the overall market since 1996.

Mr. Mitchell, there is a moment when you must decide whether you are truly an independent director, and that time is now. I call on you to publicly and immediately announce your intention to support a change in the CEO at Disney to occur within 12 months, to return to an ethic of producing the very best in family entertainment, and to being Presiding Director of an engaged board that provides effective oversight of a senior management group capable of improving long-term shareholder value and, when they do not, holds them accountable for the poor performance.

If you do this before March 3rd, I will support your reelection to the Disney board. Fail to do so, and I will support a No vote on your reelection.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to your public response.

BUMP

I took my children to Disneyland,several years ago --back
when the first "Gay Day " at Disneyland was announced.
It was nothing like I remembered from my childhood. I had
bought several of the Disney cartoons --I recall how they
used to be family friendly.But since Eisner took over--
Disney movies have become vehicles for dissent, for
promotion of ideas Disney would NOT have accepted.I have
been told that joining with the Baptists in their boycot
was foolish --and would accomplish nothing. But I cannot
support a corporation that claims to be what it no longer is.. . a safe place for children--and families.

Should Michael Eisner resign as CEO of Disney? Poll

Currently 85% Against Eisner vs. 14% Pro Eisner

Forbes' CEO Approval Ratings Poll

[Liz]

Looks like it's almost unanimous.....dump Eisner now.

[Liz]

Eisner is a very disturbed individual.

[Stallone]

Go see 'MIRACLE', a Disney movie in the great tradition of Walt Disney.

Starring the Libertarian, Bush-fan, and family-friendly Disney star Kurt Russell, it is absolutely the most thrilling and inspirational movie you will seen in years.

The background skewers the Carter presidency as the political malaise of the time had infected the entire nation's sense of purpose and ability.

AWESOME!

[churchillbuff]

I don't care if he's disturbed, he's not competent.

[Gopher Broke]

Disney is under boycott by many Church groups across the US and groups like the AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION because of their strong promotion of the homosexual agenda.

I would never spend a penny with Disney, Miramax, Touchstone, or any of the affiliates.

[Liz]

Eisner's contribution to Disney's finances is that he understood the word "franchise." Understanding how this works means big business.

Eisner took Disney retail, then put the characters on Broadway, on ice, and on cruise ships. Many of these ventures are literally money-making machines.

Walt's vast contributions---his parks---and the singular part of the contemporary Disney franchise---Walt's movies.

Movies did not fare as well under Eisner due to Mikey's depraved obsession with subverting American values and culture. And Eisner's gay days badly hurt the parks revenues.

[F16Fighter]

Disney has already hit the iceberg.

Let it sink once and for all.

[lakey]

Bring back Dick Nunis. I don't know why he wouldn't understand the word "franchise" - he got Epcot on the map.

[YepYep]

I do not wish for it to sink, but to lose Eisner and to reestablish its family friendly entertainment.

[Liz]

Sounds good to me.

[Liz]

Nice though......Eisner on an iceberg drifting into the endless frigid Arctic Ocean.

[Triple Word Score]

Did you see SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON? Military-bashing, Western-civilization bashing, white-stereotyping, Native American stereotyping...and a general overall ecofreak aroma to it--humans are bad, animals are good and kind!

I rented HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and am so glad I watched it before I let the kids watch it. Some very disturbing scenes in there!

Everybody was so enthused about FINDING NEMO but I found the depiction of the protective parent as irrational to be incredibly offensive. The way the film handled the father's personality pushed my buttons, but maybe it struck a nerve!

On the bright side--the Pixar films have been fabulous. Great handling of themes that children and adults alike can relate to--jealous rivalry, for instance. They can only improve away from Disney's influences.

[StonyBurk]

Have only seen Hunchbac--and Finding Nemo--dissapointd in
both.With all the attention focussed on Mel Gibsons'
The Passion of Christ --and how people might think it follows the gospel accounts exactly in every detail --
see the Newsweek issue Who Killed Jesus. I just wish
more adults would show th esame concern for the movies they allow their children to see over and over again
without consideration of what is being inculcated.

I watched most of the interview that O'Reilly did with Russell and I was rather disappointed, though I suppose I should not have been, considering that he never considered marriage with the mother of his children.

I didn't get the impression that he is a big Bush supporter, just that he thinks the Patriot Act isn't harming his view of the 1st Amendment (it seems that the 1st Amendment is the most important Amendment to Hollywood.)

He certainly thought that the brouhaha over the Half-time was over blown and that crude music sexually explicit dancing and nudity during the family hour is OK by him.

[churchillbuff]

Please, what can you expect from a company that gives Geo Mitchell a top board post? Don't expect Mitchell to respond to your concerns. When the Senate Dems, let by Mitchell, were trying to kill the Clarence Thomas nomination to Supreme Court, Mitchell's opening speech on the floor, before the final vote, focused on abortion. He said the underlying issue in the whole fight was abortion -- - Mitchell and the Dems were for abortion, and Thomas -- they believed -- wasn't. So you expect a guy for whom free access to abortion is the biggest issue in life, is going to care about your concerns over Disney's cultural subversiveness? Get real. (I sympathize with you, of course, but fear you're on a hopeless quest).

A young mother came to my office complaining that her 3-year-old and 4-year-old kids were playing "dead"... and that had a macabre fascination with death and dying.

When asked why she thought her kids were doing that (playing dead and saying that the other children were playing "death game"), she said that they started acting that way after they were taken to Disney movies.
