Michael Moore is trying to tie Bush to bin Laden! His film is scheduled to be released in 2004, in the middle of the campaign! And Disney's Miramax is reportedly financing this hit piece!

Of course we must boycott Disney and Miramax. But letters (hard copy ones, ones they have to hold in their hands and look at) are another effective way of getting the message out that America doesn't want Michael Moore's Bush-bashing films in their marketplace!!

Here are some contact numbers and street addresses to mail your letters to.

Please remember: the person who answers the phone may have NO IDEA what you're talking about...they're mainly receptionists and communication specialists who're trained to forward messages and calls. Don't abuse them. And don't abuse the reader(s) of your letters! But be firm and matter of fact--you do not think this decision is wise.

If you're a stockholder, maybe you'll want to sell your stock. If you're a parent, maybe you won't rush out to buy "Treasure Island" for your kid. (Not that you would anyway! ha ha) If you're a grandparent, maybe you won't take the grandkids to DisneyWorld after all. Whatever. Disney's tentacles are so long and reach so far I cannot imagine anyone not having some connection to the company. Even ABC is owned by Disney.

Remember: Disney's subsidiary MIRAMAX is financing the movie, so you can contact BOTH companies. The head of Miramax is a guy named Harvey Weinstein.

I think that fat a$$ is well on his way to clogged arteries.

Harvey Weinstein is a big-time FOB and FOH. No wonder he's financing this.

I can't stand Michael Moore, but SOMEONE needs to expose the Bush administration for the fraud that it is. I voted for Bush, and spent much of the late 90's on FreeRepublic bashing Clinton, but after 9-11 and our illegal invasion of Iraq, I wish to God that Clinton was still president!

uh huh. well, good luck with all that...and by "good luck" I mean "take a hike".

That was the author's granddaughter. She's trying to renegotiate the rights of ownership (the author sold them off long ago). She has already said that she would continue licensing the characters to Disney if she wins.

What's ridiculous is that Pooh was authored in 1924. Disney keeps pushing back the dates for extending copyrights when they should eventually expire. She may only be able to continue ownership of the characters as a result of Disney's influence on legislators.

Whoops... you wound up at the wrong forum! You took a right at the fork in the Internet, it appears you should have gone left :-)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ping list.

"And Disney's Miramax is reportedly financing this hit piece!" I may not have read far enough yet - but who is reporting the financing of this movie. I missed the source of the story - can you please provide.

Thanks for the background info.

I have held off on Disney because of my daughter. I want them to close their doors now. It is time to David the giant.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? Protesting in front of Disneyland might do a lot - people would at least be aware of what they are financing - a hit piece on Bush.

People come to Disneyland from all over the country - middle Americans. I think they might be very unhappy to find out the money they're spending is going to finance such hateful filth.

Sounds great! FL and CA Freepers unite.

I'm guilty of owning most of WDs movies. I wouldn't know how to begin to keep my children from WD movies.

If you think Harvey Weinstein cares what we think you are delusional. Hell he'll probably give that a$$ moore even more money. I say let him make his movie....He'll go way to far and it will blow up in his face.

You can sit there and complain or you can try. How negitive can one person be (hint: Look in the mirror).
