Fwd: Spill, Baby Spill? Call Discovery and Urge Them To Unplug Palin

		Call Discovery Today! Discovery Communications wants to give Sarah Palin a golden opportunity to greenwash her anti-wildlife reputation. Call Discovery Communications today and urge the network to pull the plug on Sarah Palin's Alaska.   Dear raul, This Wednesday, Discovery Communications shareholders will meet at their headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. And thanks to the support of people like you, they'll be met with our powerful ads in nearby bus stops and the subway station -- including a large banner they can see from their headquarters. Now, you can literally lend your voice to the growing chorus demanding that the network pull the plug on Sarah Palin's Alaska -- a new show giving the former Alaska governor a golden opportunity to greenwash her anti-wildlife and anti-conservation record. The shareholder's meeting is tomorrow -- so please call today! Please call (240) 662-2000 today between the hours of 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM Eastern. To ensure your voice is heard, press 0 immediately to be transferred to an operator and deliver this important message in your own words: "My name is  raul and I'm calling from Guadalajara, None. As someone who cares about wildlife, the environment and responsible TV programming, I am extremely disappointed in Discovery Communications' decision to broadcast Sarah Palin's Alaska.  [Please indicate which Discovery TV stations you watch, if any--e.g., TLC, Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel or the Military Channel.] Providing this platform for Palin will either feature her extreme anti-wildlife and anti-conservation views or greenwash her reputation.  This undermines Discovery's credibility and flies in the face of the reputation for quality wildlife programming that the company has worked so hard to build.  Please pull the plug on Sarah Palin's Alaska immediately.  Thank you for your time. If the operator transfers you to Viewer Relations or another department, please wait through the recording until you are able to leave your message for Discovery. Then be sure to let us know you called. Even as a disastrous oil spill threatens the Gulf Coast and its wildlife, Sarah Palin is still championing "drill here, drill now" -- an odd refrain from a former governor whose state was devastated by the Exxon Valdez spill. But it's no surprise coming from Palin, who escalated Alaska's unscientific and brutal aerial wolf hunts, and fought against protecting struggling polar bears and Cook Inlet belugas. Our powerful campaign to pull the plug on Sarah Palin's Alaska is going strong -- together with our partners, we've already generated more than 525,000 messages to the network demanding that they pull the plug on Palin's show. We've also completely overwhelmed Discovery's Facebook pages for TLC, Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel. We have a real shot at winning, but we need your voice to make it happen.   Please call today -- and let us know how it went. Sincerely, Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Check out the difference you are making at www.defenders.org/palinupdate. Thanks to supporters like you, we're demanding this show be dropped on many fronts.
