I have already signed an online petition to CBS asking them to not air it. You can't email CBS anymore, they've shut off all the email addresses already. You can still phone them or fax them. So people are contacting the sponsors and telling them that they'll boycott their products if they don't yank their commercials. Here's an excerpt, which explains why people are outraged: ```````````````````````````` During Iran-Contra Scandal -- INT. REAGANS'S BREAKFAST ROOM -- WHITE HOUSE -- MORNING Reagan and Nancy sit in front of their breakfast. They can't eat. Can't drink. They're numb. REAGAN: It's Armageddon... that's what it is. Armageddon. The Leader from the West will be revealed as the anti-Christ, and then God will strike him down. That's me. I am the anti-Christ. NANCY: No, Ronnie... REAGAN (overriding): And the Lord will strike down all of civilization, in order to make way for the new order... a new Heaven and a new Earth... Nancy reaches out, grabs his hand, strongly. NANCY: Hold on. You've got to hold on, Ronnie. Reagan's eyes are filling with tears. He can't help it. He's crumbling. REAGAN: I saved 77 lives in 7 years, Nancy... But I couldn't save those people in Lebanon. Nancy gets up, puts her arms around him. She rocks him slowly, silently, back and forth. ``````````````````````````` I will probably boycott CBS for eternity. Also, Hallmark Cards, which is the main sponsor.
