It was a very last minute thing planned by this group:

scroll down a bit to read about the protest.

Here is a link to the video:

Great photos here, including my boyfriend holding the sign that says:
"Cheney Shot Bambi's Mom"

2. Excellent job!
The 'family-oriented' Disney Co. is now associated with the blackest of lies -- and they can see that we, the people, know it.

If their hearts don't ache, their bottom line will.

4. Lots of Disney employees honked and/or gave us thumbs up
It was a great rally considering how last minute it was.

and might I add that President Clinton's attorney sent a letter to Rick Jacobs from the Courage Campaign thanking him and us for this event. I'm pasting it below:

Rick Jacobs
Chair
Courage Campaign


Rick,

Just a quick note of thanks for everything you and Courage Campaign are doing to speak out against ABC/Disney's irresponsible behavior. Their decision to air a show on such an important and sensitive subject that they now admit is incorrect and fictional is inexcusable.

You can be proud that you are standing with 9/11 family members, 9/11 Commission members, members of Congress from both parties, distinguished historians and hundreds of thousands more in this important fight.

Please convey to your supporters President Clinton's and my deep appreciation.

Bruce R. Lindsey
Chief Executive Officer
William J. Clinton Foundation
