Remember, KEEP UP THE DISNEY BOYCOTT
Don't take the families to Disneyland or Disneyworld - try Knott's Berry Farm, Universal or Six Flags instead

Don't watch ESPN, TSN or ABC channels -watch (gulp) Fox Sports or SportNet instead

Don't watch A%E or E!

Stay away from their movies and their magazines (however bootleg or black market versions are OK ;) )

And anything else Disney or ABC - avoid and let them know the boycott will continue, indefinitely.

1. We have to stick with this one
When a company is blatantly unresponsive to public pressure they will feel it, they will hurt.

Proud to be doing my part.

And don't forget Disney Channel/Toon Disney/Radio Disney.

6. We're still hammer out details. But, if we follow through on this
boycott, we can teach the corporati that there is a price to be paid for exploiting the deaths of American citizens as well as for ignoring public opinion. It's a twofer.

I can't think of any other way to stop the indecent hijacking of 9/11.

8. I'd really like to see some ideas posted to this thread.
We need to come up with a clear statement of purpose and then catapault it. :)

Mine would be: The Disney Company politicized 9/11, the deaths, the grief and the national loss. They were deaf to public protest. So, the public will now give them a different way to "hear" by boycotting them until they rethink their position on 9/11.


What do you all think?

10. Hi there, neighbor. What do you think of that statement?
We're trying to work one up that can be widely disseminated.
