Republic Network announces an INSTANT ACTION FREEP (IAF) aimed at Jeff Zucker, President of NBC Entertainement, over the comments of WEST WING Producer Aaron Sorkin about Bush!

Talking points;
1. Shocked at the unpatriotic comments of WW Producer Aaron Sorkin during this time of war/hostilities/terrorists/national tension, etc.
2. At a time when we should be pulling together to support our President and our troops, Mr. Sorkin engages in petty partisan attacks to score political points and increase divisiveness.
3. I am contacting NBC sponsors of this show and telling them I will not purchase their products until they pull ALL advertising from this show.
4. I will reduce or eliminate my tuning in NBC until Mr. Sorkin is removed as producer of West Wing.
5. I will be telling all my friends and relatives to do the same.

Considering Mr. Sorkin's history...

'West Wing' creator pleads not guilty to drug charges

Sorkin appears in Burbank County Court. He is free on $10,000 bail until his next court appearance, scheduled for June 4.

BURBANK, California (CNN) -- The creator of the hit NBC television series "The West Wing" pleaded not guilty Wednesday to drug charges stemming from his arrest at Burbank Airport last month.

Aaron Sorkin, 39, was arrested April 15 at an airport security checkpoint as he prepared to board a flight to Las Vegas. Authorities said a suspicious bag inside Sorkin's carry-on luggage contained hallucinogenic mushrooms, a controlled substance in California.

Sorkin was charged with one felony count each for possession of cocaine base and for possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms. He was also charged with one misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana.

Sorkin was originally arrested only for the mushrooms, but tests on other substances from the bag determined that he was also carrying rock cocaine and marijuana, according to the Los Angeles district attorney's office.

Kudos for posting the address and phone number. Sorkin's comments really annoyed me. Viewers gave NBC sky-high ratings for the Olympics, now NBC kicks the country in the face by pandering to this blithering idiot Sorkin.

Don't forget to call the local NBC station. After all they do show it.

NBC's response is even worse than Sorkin's blast, at least I could think he was probably damaged in the head from his drug days.

Better Yet Who are the Advertisers? It is One thing to tell his Boss you are unhappy but when you tell an Advertiser that you are personally boycotting their products then the word will get back to Sorkin's Boss in a much more forceful manner!

Get me a list of Advertisers and I will Freep 'em all!

I think we are all going to watch the show and see. Advertisers can change from week to week. If we hit the ones directly after the comments, the heat will travel up the totem.

Ask them if Sorkin is back on drugs, and if he has still been getting his urine tested lately.

Let's sum up this Burbank wet dream as follows -- "Left Wing" (not West Wing) "Left Coast" (not West Coast) -- "Left Out" where the show deserves to be in NBC's line-up. NBC = "Nothing But Communism"

We need a list of the advertisers.
These are the people that need to know that we won't buy their products if they continue to support that Left Wing propaganda.

Actually, this could work to our advantage. As each advertiser gets FReeped each week, the ones on the next week will start sweating and maybe pull their ads.

Bingo! Unless they feel it in the pocketbook, why would anyone expect them to do anything? Go after the advertisers! I hope to look back here by tomorrow and see whom I'm to boycott and write letters.

"Bingo! Unless they feel it in the pocketbook, why would anyone expect them to do anything? Go after the advertisers! I hope to look back here by tomorrow and see whom I'm to boycott and write letters."

Yes I am all fired up for a Freep but, I have not a Clue on when Westwing is on (don't watch much network TV save for "Survivor" which the Family gathers around and makes fun of and "That 70's Show" which is good for several "Flashback" Belly Laughs!)

On another subject: Hey TLBSHOW is this an Offical "ANN" thread, and if so I gotta Ask: "So where is the Pictures Already?"

If these folks (NBC/Sorkin/liberals - little l) really believe in campaign finance reform, and limits on "issue" advertising, West Wing should be forced to file as a PAC, and NBC should be filing political disclosures both federally and in the several states.

These people don't believe in free speech. They never did. They believe in their own propaganda, and their right to step on and mock opposing views from their bankrupt position of imagined superiority. It is time to shut these people down. I agree with all the posts that we should be hammering all sponsors of West Wing, and hard!
