  We must respond NOW:
  It is with great distress that I read your response to the United Churches of Christ advertisement: http://www.wfn.org/2004/11/msg00231.html.
  Let me get this straight. CBS News will not air this ad because it is "too controversial", and because Bush proposed the Defense of Marriage Act?
  President Bush is the one making this a national issue by proposing this abhorrent piece of discrimination. HE is the one who is making this issue "too controversial". And yet I didn't see CBS deciding not to broadcast the Republican National Convention or carry his re-election advertising.
  Now that Bush has opened this Pandora's box, ALL voices must be heard. This especially includes those voices from the religious community on both sides of this issue, otherwise the American public may be left with the impression that all Christians agree with President Bush's stance. As a Christian I find that unacceptable.
  Air this advertising now, and use the public airwaves to promote the free discourse of ideas on this subject or I will immediately boycott CBS News and its parent Viacom. I will also call on my friends, family and fellow bloggers on the internet to do the same.
  I look forward to your immediate response.

    BIG TIME! Call your CBS station and express your fury. Get others to do the same.
    And do it tomorrow.

        "Joan of Arcadia" is the most theologically intelligent program I've seen in a long time.

    That's the Federal Marriage Amendment
    not the Defense of Marriage Act
    Either way, this grievous abuse of power by a media conglomerate sends chills down my spine.

    - dump it (4.00 / 5)
      
      I'd love to see a symbolic dump, say take a telly to CBS/NBC day. If you're not willing to part with your wide screen, get a used television from a second hand shop. A pyramid of TV's stacked outside HQ and affiliates. This shit has got to stop or the precedent will be set.

      - Anyone organizing protests? (none / 0)
        
        Just wondering...GE is in CT and I might be able to make it. As CBS and NBC both have offices in NYC...that seems to be a slam dunk.
        Anyone hear of any planned protests?

        How about dumping them under the tree at Rock Center? Include a nice card for the blowdried (NBC) doofus of your choice.

  i got a returned mail from this - so it doesn't work apparently.
  
  It's like watching an unknown winning a boxing match vs. the world champ and asking him halfway why he didn't knock his opponent out in the first round.
