Protest ABC network showing the GOP propaganda by telling your local station you will no longer watch ABC and you will also boycott national advertisers

Wendy's restaurants and Red Lobster restaurants, two national ABC advertisers and GOP contributors.

Tell them unless they cancel the series, you will no longer watch any ABC program nor will you patronize Wendy's Restaurants and Red Lobster Restaurants. Although ABC has decided to hide the advertisers by running this GOPaganda uninterrupted probably some companies have paid for this. Wendy's and Red Lobster give money exclusively to the GOP and they also advertise on national ABC prime time programming. In the last few days I have seen Wendy's and Red Lobster commercials on the ABC network in prime time.


Contact Wendy's and Red Lobster at these email addresses and demand they get ABC to cancel the GOPaganda piece Path to 9-11 or you will never set foot in their restaurants again.

1. It might be after the fact but

I plan to keep tabs on who advertises just prior to and just after the special airs. There may not be commercials during the airing of the show, but typically, when this happens, they just double up on the ads before and after. Any company advertising just before or after the show is "sponsoring" it as far as I'm concerned, and they won't be getting any business from me.

2. Olive Garden is part of Darden Restaurants - owner of Red Lobster

Darden Restaurants, Inc. is the world's largest casual dining restaurant company (based on market share, sales and number of company-owned and operated restaurants). We operate nearly 1,400 Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, Smokey Bones Barbeque & Grill and Seasons 52 restaurants in North America, employing more than 150,000 people who serve 300 million meals annually. All of our restaurants are company-owned, and Darden offers no franchise opportunities domestically.

3. Yes Darden restaurants

On my political party web page I have Darden restaurants listed as a company to boycott and include other GOP contributor companies

But then I ask each of the boycotted companies to get the GOP to pass a progressive agenda or lose our business.

4. Was that you on the Boston Legal forum?

I just saw that. WTG.

5. The problem with most boycotts...

...is that I never use any of the products anyway.

I haven't used a Disney product, watched ABC, or ever frequented a Darden's Restaurant.

I guess I'm already boycotting...

6. they don't know that you don't use the products already.

Just call and tell them you won't use them because abc will show the GOPaganda piece. The calling it to their attention makes the boycott effective.
