Thanks for checking out the blog. This is the place to see some sample letters to help our letter writing campaign to help oust Frons and save ABC daytime TV. Remember we have a purpost to this. We are tired of the vindictive way our vets have been treated since Frons took over and decided to "train" the viewers to his "vision" of daytime TV. Since Frons took over ratings for AMC have dropped. Emmy nominations are almost non existent and Emmy wins- well you now the answer to that.
On October 11 and the 11th of every month after that we are going to send letters to the sponsors and the board of Disney. In the past letter writing has helped to improve everything from story writing, to more airtime for fan favorites, to getting contracts for actors. It doesn't matter if you are a fan of AMC, OLTL, GH or all three. We are not writing letters to help any one particular Soap. We are writing these letters to help them all. Get your pens and paper ready and sent those letters!
Here is one sample of a letter to a sponsor. Please feel free to use part or all of it AND please feel free to add your own. I will also be blogging the names and addresses of people to write to. If you know of any people to write to add them as well. We are all in this together. I will be posting other letters and specific addresses in the days to come.

Dear Ms. Green
As a long time viewer of daytime programs at ABC, I now feel that I can no longer sit by and watch the decimation of a genre I so love. I am writing to you because I see that Pillsbury is one of the sponsors of dayimte programming at ABC and as a long-standing consumer of Pillsbury products I fee that this travesty must be brought to your attention.
Brian Frons, the president of ABC daytime, has been allowed to destroy our beloved programs. He has absolutely no regard for the demographics of the programs, the same demographics that buy your products. He insults women over the age of 35 by firing long standing female actors and replaces them with young teenagers or 20 something women. He has males who verbally abuse women as his main characters. He has no regard for balance on his programs. He has stated more than once that he wants to change the "vision" of daytime TV and "train" his audience. How insulting! This vision certainly did not work on The View and it is failing horribly with the daytime Soap Operas.
I am not writing this letter to tell you that I am forever done with ABC daytime. Far from that, I am hoping that you can help us. I am writing to you as a loyal Pillsbury consumer an over 40 one at that! Please let ABC know that there are many fans out there that do watch ABC soaps AND your commercials that want to see ABC daytime thrive instead of flounder. IF Brian Frons is allowed to keep his job at ABC, I will no longer be able to support ABC or any products advertised on their programs. I am fully prepared to completely boycott. I have done this with Walmart over the treatment ot their employees and have no problem doing so again. Please help us oust Brian Frons as president of ABC daytime. His slash and burn tactics must stop. His vindictive destruction of Soap Operas and daytime TV in general should not be allowed.
I thank you in advance for any help that you can give.
