ABC was expecting the DNC staff, but refused the petitions...pictures.
"I relented, in the name of politeness, and we got down to business. We explained we were delivering the petitions in response to their airing of the film 'The Path to 9/11' which contains known distortions of the facts, yet still claims to be based on the September 11th Commission's Report.

She said she couldn't help us - that these petitions needed to be sent to ABC's entertainment division - in Burbank. We asked if she would be able to get them to Burbank. She said no. She said ABC couldn't pay the postage for such a delivery. One of our staffers pointed out that ABC had already spent $40 million on the movie, so surely, $20 for postage wasn't gonna kill 'em. But she delined.

So then we asked what they would do with the petitions if we left them there. Would they be thrown out? She said no.

So we left them there, where they would be able to review the thousands of comments by their viewers about the airing of their "docudrama". We also let the ABC representative know that we would be overnighting a CD to their entertainment division in Burbank, California, as well.

FYI, the "WE" is The Democratic Party - These are the DNC petitions and were delivered by 4 staffers, 2 supporters/friends of the DNC and 1 intern.

From Tracy Joan's post at Kos...good for the DNC staff.

1. This supposes that Disney airing this is some sort of mistake
it's not - it's a deliberate 4-hr lie-filled campaign commercial for Smirk and the GOP. Of COURSE they won't delever the petition.

7. Not me, the DNC staff.
Wish I could take credit, but I just posted.

They had to do all that printing and then be insulted by ABC.

But then they probably expected that.
