Thanks, Scowlie. By the way, check out our new podcast. I wrote my letters yesterday, and I'm going to post up my contact list pretty soon.

In terms of finding contact info for corporations, Hoovers and ZoomInfo are supposedly good, although both have limitations if you are not a paid subscriber.

Here’s a link to a website on how to find information on the “invisible web” in general:

Sweet deal. Actually, I’m loving the fact that we’re all pushing each other. I’m finding it helpful, anyway.

I wrote mine this morning (will post to my front page once edited), but I also found that there were other people to whom I’d like to send it. Is anyone good at finding contact info? I guess we could always send it to their corporate address, but if anyone knows how to send direct, it would probably be better.

Also, did you all know that there is a Chinese American on the Disney board? John Chen from Sybase. If I remember correctly, he’s also on the Committee of 100.

Here is my list of other people whom I think we should contact:

Management, The Walt Disney Company
Robert Iger, President and CEO
Kevin Mayer, Executive VP, Corporate Strategy
Zenia Mucha, Executive VP, Corporate Communications
Dennis W. Shuler, Chief Human Resources Officer
Anne Sweeney, President, Disney-ABC Television Group

Disney Board of Directors

John E. Pepper, Chairman of the Board
Alwyn B. Lewis, Potbelly Sandwich Works
John S. Chen, Sybase
Judith L. Estrin, Packet Design
Robert Matschullat

I’m in the same boat. I had some doubt that maybe it was just a youthful indiscretion, but after the dodging and weaving and refusal to truly apologize, I think she is racist.

I’m going to take Michael Kang’s advice and write to Disney.

Her first apology was bad. Her second apology feels worse. Now, I’m beginning to wonder if she IS a racist. I know what I said before, but she might be. Especially considering her show and her upcoming movie and her entire band and crew truly lacks diversity. Doesn’t Disney have actors from all over the world? Couldn’t they actually try and make a truly diverse movie without being preachy about it? Hell, they had every opportunity with HSM and HSM 2 and HSM 3, but besides the implied relationship between Zeke and Sharpay, there wasn’t anything to promote ethnic diversity.

Sure thing, MM! Good call on the letter campaign.

Larry, thanks for the links and info! I’ll post up Michael Kang’s addresses above. I think it’s a good focus.

Hyphen Magazine has a suggestion by director Michael Kang about the Miley issue. He says that the focus should be on Disney, particularly one based on a snail mail (as opposed to e-mail or internet) campaign.
