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.
Here are the addresses and numbers...and here's to a good FREEPing!
I don't doubt Mr. Bush has a lot of people in a lot of places monitoring a whole bunch of things contrary to his thinking, but in all judgement and in light of the current global climate is'nt every man entitled to his opinion. If Mr Bush can preach his exagerated side of an argument so publicly {and publicly paid for} can't someone else have a solidly validated and publicly excercised opinion as well.
The onset of paranoia begins with thinking that there a lot of people in a lot of places monitoring a whole bunch of things. And yes, every man is entitled to his opinion, but that does not make it an opinion worthy of consideration.
