Boycott Hollyweird Activists!
IPetition ^

We the undersigned American Citizens stand against Wealthy Hollywood Celebrities abusing their status to speak for us. We do not believe that they have a clear understanding of how we live, what we fear, and what we support. We believe that celebrities Martin Sheen, Mike Farrell, Tim Robbins, Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, and others with them are using their celebrity to interfere with the defense of our country. We believe that Hollywood Celebrities use their wealth to make their own personal issues known while Americans would never have the resources to speak out in this manner. We support President Bush in his efforts to defend our homeland, to defend democracy, and to take any measures to end the threat of terrorism. We do not claim to know more than anyone, especially President Bush. We elect a President who we can trust to make proper decisions based on facts available to him and not available to the rest of us. This is one reason trustworthiness and character is important in the people we elect into office. War is not easy, there are many before us who sacrificed their lives for freedom and if supporting citizens in other countries who cry out for democracy and freedom aids in the war against terrorism we support it.

This Statement and its signatures will be published publicly and or delivered to Martin Sheen and Mike Farrell.

I'm picturing a twist on those drugs = terrorism ads....

This is Joe Citizen. This is the movie theater he patronizes. These are the actors that make the movies that Joe patronizes..... CUT TO SADDAM, BIN LADEN, AND BURNING WTC - These are the terrorists that these actors support.

You have it so right. IF YOU GO TO THE MOVIES, YOU SUPPORT TERRORISM.

No excuses for GP or even renting from the video store. We must be willing to let the America haters in Hollywood know that we will not allow them to destroy our country.

They seem to have made a mistake. They have Michael Moore listed as a celebrity.

"49... Melissa Gilbert ??? "

Don't know..just reorganized the list above so we could read it.

Now that you mention it, I thought she was at least a tad less leftist than the rest of this crowd.

Here's a LINK to Not In Our Name (NOIN) where you can send them an email. Bill O'Reilly put this up on his web site yesterday. Bill was outraged over the two page ad in the NYT and many of these stars signed that petition.

unless there are two aged-hack calypso singers, you need to redact the list to remove the duplicate H. Belafonte

while you are at it, why not throw together a list of all the actors and entertainers and pundits and mavens who swore on a stack of Mao's Little Red Books that they'd emigrate from America if Dubya won... and then failed to do so.
I propose that we send them all on a mission to stick to their guns (both anti-Dubya, and pro-Saddam) and their earlier words, by forcing them to leave America on a one-way ticket to Iraq... to serve as Human (? dunno if it applies to these asses) Shields for the Mustache.

No, she is not.

I thought she was too. However, I found out she is not; it is only that she was not as liberal as her competition in the last election for Screen Actors Guild (Valerie Harper a.k.a. Rhoda).

Since you are unlikely to get large numbers of people to avoid movies like Matrix 2, might I suggest a more modest boycott. Don't see their movies during the opening week, when the movie studios get a bigger cut of the box office receipts. This will not only send less money to Hollywood but it will give more money to your loal theater.
