Urge Discovery to Drop Sarah Palin’s New Show
Discovery Communications — the parent company of The Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC and others, and known for their wildlife-focused programs — is planning to produce an 8-part TV show on Sarah Palin’s Alaska.
Sarah Palin’s Alaska is a “reality TV” show that aims to showcase the “powerful beauty of Alaska,” according to Discovery’s TLC website.
But the real Sarah Palin is no friend of Alaska’s natural heritage. While in office, the former governor fought against increased protections for endangered whales and America’s dwindling populations of polar bears in favor of oil and gas development, supported dangerous drilling for oil in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, and escalated Alaska’s brutal aerial wolf-killing program.
Yet according to reports, Palin will earn about $1 million per episode from the nature-focused series.
Act now, Send a powerful message to Discovery Communications expressing your disappointment at their action and urging them to drop Sarah Palin’s new show from their programming schedule.
It’s important that the truth about Sarah Palin’s record not be swept under the rug by her celebrity. Palin’s disrespect for the environment and disregard for science and has done real damage to Alaska’s wildlife and endangered Alaska’s natural heritage.
Send a message to Discovery Communications and let them know that Sarah Palin doesn’t deserve to represent the “powerful beauty of Alaska” in front of millions of people.
Take action today>

Targeting: Mr. David Zaslav (President and CEO, Discovery Communications)
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
Sarah Palin has signed on with reality TV producers and Discovery Communications to star in a new TV show about Alaska and its outdoors.
But the ugly reality is that as governor for only two-and-a-half years, Sarah Palin escalated a bloody aerial wolf-slaughter campaign that continues to this very day. She even planned to offer a $150 bounty for the severed forelimb of each killed wolf.
Palin also fought against increased protections for endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales and America’s dwindling populations of polar bears.
Sign our petition to Discovery Communications — and let them know that Sarah Palin doesn’t deserve to represent the “powerful beauty of Alaska” in front of millions of people.
I’ll be watching in more ways than one.
I would guess you may ask Palin’s people at her website, etc.
“Dang... and I did a title search too!”
Glad you didn’t find it the first time. Otherwise lots of people wouldn’t have even seen this.
Hey Obama!
Sarah want’s to know if she will be able to see the Potomac from her new House.

You prolly didn’t see it because it’s over in bloggers/personal and you were in news/activism.
Hey admin mod, could that other thread be pulled over into news/activism? This is more than a blogger note.
I thought that when you did a search, the action covered ALL of FR’s niches.
They really are afraid of her aren’t they?
It is time to flood the White House with an overwhelming sh*tstorm of emails. Any takers?
OH! Gee, and I am not even a “nooohbeee” ;)
"The polar bear's numbers have been going up, not down. Even under the most conservative projections in the government's own scientific model, there will be at least 20,000 polar bears in the Arctic over the next four to five decades-that's more than double the number there were 50 years ago." stated PLF Principal Attorney Reed Hopper.
Illegal? LOL! Commies don’t have to obey no stinking laws.
Barry Braaaak Hussein Soetero Obama, I stretch my sphincter in your general direction, you louse!
Also, note that the polar bear is a natural adaptation of the grizzly bear. Globull warming is the only reason why anyone expects a shortage of polar bears.
and the caribou population around the pipelines went up - they have their babies under the pipelines because of the warmth - and the grass is green also, because of the warmth.
And yes, we must protect those sweet wolves -

Wolf and domestic dog are now considered the same species.

What really gagged me was a Nature show with Oprah. I wouldn’t watch that if you paid me and I love many nature shows. Sarah is obviously a person who knows much about Alaska but Oprah and nature, I think not.
