I received the exact same reply from Mars, and two replies from Life Lock, and waiting for Hilton, Hellman’s and Kelloggs replies, and go to tv.com to comment at CBS on the Letterman response to Palin, it is taking comments directly...load it up with complaints.

The interactive link is at top of page titled Letterman vs Palin, so click and go below article for comment section.

>I was contacted by Ancestry.com, who politely informed me that they do NOT adverdise ob Letterman’s show and have no earthly idea as to why their name appeared on the list.<

Ancestry.com does have an ad that is still running on Lettermans site, sadly as does The Republican Governors Association.

I am actually impressed with Olive Garden. They are the only one that even said they were “inappropriate” comments. Good for them!

I received this from Lexus this morning:

Dear Mr. Coppola:

Thank you for contacting Lexus Customer Satisfaction.

We are sensitive to the opinions of our customers and apologize if our sponsorship has offended you in any way.

Lexus’ decision to advertise on television programs is based on the level of interest generated by the American public, not the subject matter contained in the program. We make every effort to screen programs considered to contain controversial issues but we do not always have the opportunity to know the content of individual episodes in advance.

If you require further assistance, please respond to this e-mail, or contact Lexus Customer Satisfaction at 1-800-255-3987, Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Pacific Time.

Sincerely,

Danielle Curtis

Lexus Customer Satisfaction

We will take that as a act of defiance .... all the more reason to boycott anything to do with cBS and their sponsors...

Letterman's ratings TANKING.... big surprise. <yawn>.

Conan has always been funnier; much more entertaining.

Letterman went Lib; big time. Big mistake. Sad.

Response I just received from The Olive Garden:

June 13, 2009

Dear Mrs. ____:

Thank you for expressing your concerns about Olive Garden and allowing us an opportunity to respond.

We understand your concern about Mr. Letterman’s inappropriate comments. Olive Garden screens all network television programs and we plan schedules accordingly, especially in regard to shows with objectionable content. Some shows, like The David Letterman Show, are taped on a daily basis and there is not an opportunity to review the content prior to airing. The content of the dialogue on the June 8th show is not consistent with Olive Garden’s standards and values. We have joined many of our valued guests in voicing our concern to CBS, and we will adjust our plans accordingly as we have done in the past when such situations occur. Your feedback will certainly be taken into consideration as we review our future advertising schedule.

Again, thank you for contacting us with your comments, and we hope you will continue to think of Olive Garden as a place to visit with your family and friends.

from: Embassy Suites:
Thanks for your email. Embassy Suites is not a sponsor or advertiser of the David Letterman show. Several online ads appeared on a series of web sites, including cbs.com, among many others. These ads have since been taken down. The appearance of the ads on the CBS network web site does not suggest we condone or agree with Mr. Letterman’s views or comments.

We sincerely appreciate your email.

UPDATE ON RALLY

*******************************************

We have changed the date of the FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN RALLY from Monday, June 15 to Tuesday, June 16.

The time and place remains the same: 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm on the sidewalks outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is located at 1697 Broadway in New York City.

If you live within a 4 hour drive of New York City, please make an effort to attend this event. You can RSVP on our Facebook Event, located at:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?sid=fd6d71fa207c952b5bcc233e1bb63209&eid=110587311092&ref=search

Please bring your own signs (be creative but PG rated!) to the event.

Also, for the technologically oriented please bring:

1. Video cameras

2. Laptops equipped with Wi-Fi and Webcams

We are going to try and send out some live Video Skype of the Tuesday event. If you are Video Skype capable, please email your skype id to me at michaelpatrickleahy@gmail.com . We want to see if we can your live feed of the event to selected new media outlets.

You are one of more than 3,500 people who have signed the letter we will be sending to CBS, telling them we won't be purchasing products sold by sponsors of David Letterman's Late Show until he is fired. Your help over the next few days is critical to the success of this project.

Please take some time on Sunday to email all your friends and invite those who live near New York City to attend the Tuesday FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN RALLY. Also, please promote our site http://www.firedavidletterman.com by tweets on Twitter, phone calls to local talk radio hosts, postings on your blogs, and comments on other websites and blogs.

In addition, Monday should be a great day to call the talk radio programs to promote the Tuesday rally. Wonder who will be the first one on this list to make it on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Glenn Beck?

I will personally be promoting the Tuesday event on Tammy Bruce's radio program Monday at 12:30 pm EDT, and don't forget that our own project colleague John Ziegler will be talking about the rally and other breaking issues on Monday during his 11 am to 1 pm PDT radio program on 1260 AM, KGIL in Los Angeles.

Details of the Tuesday rally, including names of speakers, will be announced at a press conference to be held in New York City at 1 pm EDT on Monday. Laureen Cummings and Gwendolyn Lindsey-Jackson will be speaking at the press conference. In addition, we currently anticipate that a representative of a New York City based women's rights organization will also be speaking at the press conference.

We have a great team to field press inquiries.

Gwendolyn Lindsey-Jackson, attorney, John Ziegler, radio talk show host and producer of the documentary Media Malpractice, and New York State Assemblyman Brian Kolb have all agreed to be the "point people" to field press inquiries, effective immediately.

You can find their contact e-mails at our website, http://www.firedavidletterman.com.

Gwendolyn Lindsey-Jackson, Laureen Cummings, and Anna Barone will serve as our on-site leadership team during the rally itself on Tuesday.

Thanks for all your help ! If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to send me an email with your thoughts.

Best Regards,

Michael Patrick Leahy
