"Path to 9/11"

I would like to quote a Mr. Ed Gillespe, RNC Chairman:

And I think it was important that it be historically accurate. And if they didn't intend to make it historically accurate to make sure
that viewers understood that it was not intended to be historically accurate but a fictional portrayal. So we made two requests: One is having historians review it for accuracy if you're going to broadcast it. And if you're unwilling to do that, inform the viewers that it's not historically accurate. That's not censorship, that's common sense...
He was talking about the successfully deterred CBS mini-series "The Reagans" but I think the point still holds.

I've spent the last few hours going crazy emailing people and running up my cell phone bill about this. This diary at DailyKos has the email address and phone number of every person or organization involved. Please, make use of them all but if you're short on time, here's a few form letters:

The Democratic Party


Think Progress

ABC's 'Contact Us' page


ABC has stated that it would, "continue to make edits to strengthen a project right up to the broadcast date." I guess they realized that some of the people involved (say, Bill Clinton) might sue them later...

OK, here the names, titles and email addresses for a number of key senior Disney decision makers I found, starting at the top
with the CEO and board of directors are at the bottom.

Let's make our voices heard and see if we can get these guys to pull this blatantly obvious Bush propaganda. ABC may profit from the predictable controversy but airing a film designed to obfuscate Bush's responsibility for 9/11 will cause ABC to suffer greatly in the estimation of serious people.

Disney and ABC should leave the RNC propaganda to Fox, it's not ABC's demographic.
