Sponsor Contact Information

I generally don't participate in letter writing campaigns, boycotts, etc. But I have 16 letters on my desk right now, ready to be mailed to the board members of Mars, Kelloggs and Olive Garden. I'm taking the advice from the hillbuzz website, and I'll try to send out a letter each day to each of those board members until they withdraw their sponsorship of the Letterman show.

I've saved each letter in a file, so I'm planning on only changing the date each day and printing them off and sending them. Maybe I'll occasionally reword them. I'm sending them via regular mail. FedEx would be way too cost prohibitive.

The Hillbuzz site originally formed to back Hillary Clinton. I became aware of it closer to the election because of it's strong support of Sarah Palin. I just finished reading an article there on the difference between Republicans and Democrats, and the fact that Republicans back down way too quickly. Right now, CBS is telling its sponsors that this will all blow over quickly.

Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Maybe there are enough conservatives who are tired of being bullied by the main stream media, and they're willing to fight back.

Here is some contact information for some of Letterman's sponsors, as compiled by http://www.hillbuzz.org/:*
