Here’s a copy of an e-mail sent to me by an operative.
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.
If the contract has been signed or the episodes produced, then Palin is going to get the money - and that’s what the liberals are really trying to block.
Of course, it might also be that some people will watch this and decide Sarah is not the idiot the media keeps telling us she is. Not sure the libs want that dirty little secret out either.
If the Dems are just jealous, might I suggest the Discovery people do their next series on “Barack Obama’s Kenya” and then we’ll have balance.
I missed the part about Obama...
yeah, like this isn’t going to backfire tremendously.
I guess no one told these moonbats that the polar bear population has quintupiled since 1972!
For those of you in Rio Linda, that means there are five times as many polar bears in 2010 as there were in 1972.
Sarah just makes these lefties quake in their boots....Sarah and Todd must be laughing at these liberals.
FUBO!
The other one is a completely different article, and is in bloggers.
Thanks for posting this
Isn't that special?
...O Bumpa
Nuther commie front groop steps forward.
No.
Nice.
Great theme for a show.
Followed by Obama’s Chicago: The Politics of Payoffs
I still haven’t seen any link to Obama. We need to stop making unsubstantiated charges.
I did skim the postings rather fast. Just because the are a liberal organization, doesn’t mean there is a link to Obama.
That reminds me to season pass this on Tivo.
This is the Kenya that comes from the earlier efforts of BO SR, but this will be what the USA looks like after another year or two of BO JR.
He doesn’t appreciate that, and probably won’t until he gets served with the lawsuit.
If change.org is taken at face value as “the leading site for social change” there’s almost no way it CAN’T implicate Obama.
We WILL make sure to grant his request. Only thing is, he has this all confused with his definition of “Good” and “bad”. If we get enough of a majority in 2010, we can make this happen BEFORE his first term even ends.
Is there no end to Obama's damage to America?
If Discovery caves on this issue, I will just add it to the "No-Watch" list I keep.
