Following is the email I sent ABC:

I am concerned that ABC is considering producing a sitcom featuring Janeane Garofalo. Ms. Garofalo has been an outspoken opponent of our president and the effort of our troops in the present war in Iraq. She has, during several television appearances, made statements so inflammatory as to be construed deeply offensive by those whose lives are on the line in the effort to topple a crazed dictator who threatens world peace.

Ms. Garofalo is entitled to get up in our free society and make whatever statements she wishes, offending whomever she wishes. It is the blood of brave soldiers, sailors, and Marines that have secured this for her. However, when she espouses beliefs contrary to those consistent with the efforts made by our country in time of war, I will exercise the veto power of my remote control and my wallet. If your network produces and airs any regular program featuring Janeane Garofalo, I will boycott ABC, its affiliates, and any sponsors of said program. I will also urge others to do the same.

There is no time limit on this. Ms. Garofalo and her ilk have insulted my country for the last time as far as I am concerned, and I will not tolerate her presence on my television screen for any purpose other than rendering a sincere apology.
