Got one back from Mars.

In response to your email regarding MARS SNACKFOOD US. We are writing in response to your recent communication which objects to the placement of advertising on David Letterman. We appreciate your concern and thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Our loyal consumers are very important to us, and we thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. Have a great day!

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.

I had a very specific reason for contacting them as I am one of their subscribers and volunteered to pull my membership -- instantly.

Best Western site was incorrect info and I've not attempted to get the correct one as I really do NOT utilize their businesses.

I got this but it is about a rally....

I am pleased to report that we have received enough volunteer leader commitments from the now 2,253 people on this mailing list to make a FIRM DECISION to go forward with a planned FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN RALLY, currently scheduled to be held from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm this Monday June 15 outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, located at 1697 Broadway in New York City.

If you live anywhere within a 4 hour driving distance of New York City, please plan on attending this event. Bring your own signs (be creative but PG rated!). We will be announcing more details over the weekend so stay tuned.

We need more volunteers to help our "Project Servant-Leaders", so please email me at michaelpatrickleahy@gmail.com if you can provide some time.

Laureen Cummings has agreed to serve as our "Project Servant- Leader" responsible for our Media Relations.

Marie Wilkinson and others have agreed to share "Project Servant-Leader" responsibilities in the Social Media arena.

We have volunteers for our logistics and volunteer coordination areas as well, and will be announcing the names of that leadership group over the weekend.

Keep telling your friends on the internet and in person to sign the letter to CBS asking them to fire David Letterman at our website, http://www.firedavidletterman.com .

Two additional pieces of news to show that we and others are already making some progress:

1. CBS has received so many negative comments about Letterman they have shut down the comments section of their website.

2. A leading New York State Legislator, Brian Kolb, publicly called today for CBS to fire Letterman.

Thanks for all your help.

Stay tuned for news over the weekend about how you can help make this coming Monday's "FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN RALLY" a success !

Best Regards,

Michael Patrick Leahy

I heard today that See BS has announced that they're extending that washed up has-been's contract for another couple of years.If this is true it certainly doesn't suggest that this company has any intention of calling their employee to task.

Not at all.

From Olive Garden:

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.

Sherri Bruen
Guest Relations Manager

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.

Dawn Ray
