Just back from protesting at Disney Headquarters
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 09:07 PM by jaysunb
and it felt really good !

There was lots of horn blowing support as well as the usual assholes that seem to think 911 wouldn't have happened if it weren't for people like us.
I mean, DUH !!
The Disney goons (security staff) made us several times, taking pics and vids as they drove slowly by......we were not intimidated.

CNN interveiwed Rick Jacobs and others from The Courage Campaign, but there didn't seem to be any other media around.
I'll post the pics as soon as they are sent over.

A great day for democracy !

SOME PICTURES HERE

6. 20 or so at any given moment.
people came and went.
It really happened on short notice-10 hrs--so many folks had to rearrange things or couldn't make it.

BUT WE DID IT. You should have heard the horns blowing in solidarity. It's good to know how well informed some people are !

22. link or source? don't this is true
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 02:13 PM by onenote
One of Disney's "outside" directors, Aylwin Lewis, is also an outside Halliburton director. Lewis' full time job is CEO of Sears Holding Co. He is African American and as best as I can tell,unusual for a major business CEO (he was with KMart before the Sears merger and with Pizza Hut before that), in that he apparently doesn't make political contributions.

15. Absolutely!
Stupid ass NBC wasn't interested. I know, I called them to give them the heads up. They didn't want to advertise for the competitor. :eyes:

17. Thank you, jaysunb!!!
My way of supporting you guys (because I couldn't make it)was trying to get the media there. Sorry that other locals didn't show up, but SO GLAD CNN did! I'll be checking for the report tonight!

I saw your efforts in another thread. We were trying also but getting the same results.

Suzanne is getting the footage posted on U-Tube, and we'll post ASAP.

Thanks again for your support. It was a team effort !
