1. They bitched & moaned their hero wasn't treated with

2. MoveOn is the answer...
They have enough grassroots outreach to get millions of letters and calls into ABC. They haven't acted on this, yet they did support a letter writing campaign to Les Moonves for the Reagan movie (to keep it on air).

3. They have the echo chamber in the print, video and audo
media to repeat their talking points day in and day out. We lost our most effective spokesperson in Mike Malloy.

I think those who opposed the Reagan docudrama were guests on the morning talk shows.

7. I guess Rs are bigger assholes than Ds.
Although I've given it my best shot with some pretty nasty phone calls, emails, and faxes.

11. By...
arranging 100 years in advance to have a right-wing minded elite own all the media in the first place.

Sorry if that won't work for you.
