Pull the Plug on Sarah Palin’s DISCOVERY Channel Show
LEND YOUR VOICE to the growing chorus demanding that the network pull the plug on Sarah Palin’s Alaska -- a new show giving the former Alaska governor a golden opportunity to greenwash her anti-wildlife and anti-conservation reputation.

Please call (240) 662-2000 today between the hours of 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM Eastern. To ensure your voice is heard, press 0 immediately to be transferred to an operator and deliver this important message in your own words.

We've overwhelmed their Facebook fan pages for TLC, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. And we're bombarding their Twitter feeds, too. Keep the messages going by visiting their fan pages and voicing your opinion on Sarah Palin's show.


More than 500,000 Defenders and other supporters have sent messages to urge Discovery Communications to drop Sarah Palin's new show on Alaska and its outdoors! Help us keep the momentum going by taking action now or by spreading the word!

1. What the FUCK is up with Discovery?
I've sent about six emails over the last several weeks, joined by hundreds of thousands of others, and still it presses on.

This just sucks.

2. I'd rather she wasted time on a stupid wildlife show on a network I don't watch
Than be a free-speech martyr, which will certainly help her clear presidential ambitions.

"Those mean liberals, they wouldn't even let me talk about the wilds of Alaska, you betcha."

3. How about...don't
The better way is to:

- let the show go on as schedule,

- let the "real" Americans see Palin in her glory and be reminded why they voted against her in 2008,

- let the ratings crater, and

- let Discovery learn a hard lesson in lost ad revenue and burned development costs.

7. is there a specific oncern? i don't like winky either, but i can change the channel.
is she doing something on the show that is particularly egregious to base a demand to take the show off the air?

9. She's part of the MKULTRA group, that's why you see her everywhere for no reason, distraction only!

11. Waste of time
and no different than a bunch of churchies trying to stop a gay person from having a show on a channel.
Pointless and baseless BS!

Best approach is to let the ratings determine her fate.
