Like to write letters?
A couple of us are trying to launch a movement to target sponsors of media outlets that are biased. We are trying to do it a bit differently than anyone else.

We want to have short, targeted boycotts. We write to the company we are boycotting each month, tell them why they are being boycotted, and also send letters to related companies.

We want to begin with the boycott of Red Lobster restaurant for the month of March for supporting Fox news' biased coverage of Democratic candidates...you would name the candidate you support.

The letters are to be very short and polite as follows:

"Several Democratic candidates for president were marginalized and inaccurately portrayed by the media, particularly my choice (Insert yours: Clark, Dean, Kucinich, Sharpton, etc.). Fox News has in general presented a biased look at current events.

I am protesting the bias on FOX News by boycotting sponsors at random for one month.

For the month of March, my family will not patronize Red Lobster.

Have a nice day,

(sign you real name and address)"
