Contact firebrand. She is in charge of the FR NYC chapter. I think she will be interested.
thing=think sometimes
I think all the freepers--males included--should show up in regular street clothes but with "fake breasts". The tight t-shirts could say that famous Seinfeld line, "They're real, and they're glorious!"
Have you considered contacting the Protest Warriors. I still have to laugh when I recall them showing up with their "Don't trust the media" signs on the Today show.
DAN RATHER IS THE JOURNALISTIC EQUIVALENT OF A PEDOPHILIC PRIEST & CBS IS SUPRESSING THE EVIDENCE.
Wow! Are you sure? It's a long drive from Tulsa!
;-)
Seriesly, I'd love to see the Protest Warriors doing something like this!
I live in Hawaii... that's a lot of gas. ;-)
Make a sign that calls for Regime Change at CBS
Pay for Gas? OK, I'll get back with you I gotta figure out how many tank it will take from Seattle. hehehehehe
Post pictures for the rest of us when you return. Have fun.
Rather must resign!

I've never protested anything in my life, but I'm seriously considering doing it here at the CBS affiliate in Atlanta, especially since they would be sensitive to this because their news is at the bottom of the barrel in ratings. I have to travel until Sunday, but if CBS is still standing by Dan Rather next week I'm going to try and get a few people together and go down to WGCL's studios on 14th st. and make a few phone calls to the other news outlets. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. No matter how you look at this, we have a major news organization who INTENTIONALLY aired false information to harm a sitting President during an election in wartime. Even Al-Jazeera hasn't stooped this low.
Do it now before it gets too cold for pajamas.
We'll be protesting in pajamas, of course?
Best way to freep is to send e-mails to Campbell's Soup, Taco Bell, and Iams Dog Food saying that you won't buy their products as long as they sponsor the CBS Evening News.
Since I can't go to NY to freep Rather, I chose to do it from home. Here' just one result of my emails to a cbs sponsor.
It may not mean anything, but I felt better and somehow, I think if enough of us "reachout" with our message of "no tolerance" to lies from the news organizations, we will surely win in the long run.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate
consumers who are involved.
I'd like to share some background on how sponsorship of news programs works.
The preparation of news and public affairs programs is handled entirely
by the news staff of the television network, and the selection of program
content is based solely on their judgment. Advertisers are not given
the opportunity to review the program content in advance.
We want you to know that the appearance of our commercials on such
shows indicates neither our approval nor our disapproval of the content, just
as the appearance of one of our ads in a newspaper or news magazine is not
an
endorsement of the publication's editorial policy.
It's important to us that you realize each and every comment we receive
is taken seriously. Reactions to our sponsorship of television programs
are essential in helping us make plans for the future. I'm sharing your
concerns with the team responsible for television sponsorship.
If you have additional concerns, please feel free to email or call Iams
Consumer Care at your convenience. We can be contacted between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on
Saturday. Again, thank for taking the time to share your concern.
We appreciate you taking the time to write.
Sincerely,
Tina
Iams Consumer Care, North America
