An email I sent to CBS last week:

Dear Sirs, I have been reading that CBS is planning to air a made for TV movie about the Reagans. The information coming out about this piece suggests that President Reagan, his wife, and his family will be portrayed in a negative, if not a fraudulent, fashion.

I hope CBS will not pursue this effort to attempt to alter the historical record of this great man. Why has CBS chosen to pursue this vendetta on the eve of Reagan's passing? I believe this is blatant partisan politics.

If these allegations are true about the intended political posture that CBS is pursuing with "The Reagans" and this piece is aired, I will be forced to boycott all CBS broadcasting (including our favorite CSI). In addition, we will also find the list of sponsors for "The Reagans" and boycott those company products and services. We will also try to influence all our family and friends to boycott CBS and its sponsors as well.

If you think we are not serious, then think again. You will be putting at risk nearly 40% of the population by taking this dishonest course. Your CBS Evening News with Dan Rather is already bringing up the rear because of the clear liberal bias in his reporting. If CBS wants to pursue this self-destructive path, then be aware that there will be a downside.

I for one am a person who rarely writes letters like this. But, I love Ronald Reagan and what he stands for. I cannot stand by quietly while organizations like CBS plan to destroy his good name. Be warned that you will hear from me and millions of citizens with the same opinion. And, this will hurt you in the wallet.
Sincerely,

Postscript: It takes alot to get me mad enough to write such a letter. But, I'm sure these small efforts to support Ronald Reagen taken together became a tidal wave that overwhelmed CBS.

Now on to Showtime....
