BIG LIST of Action Contacts.)
Now that Disney and ABC has thumbed their noses at the truth by airing an unsuccessful, edited version of the "PT911" it's time to take a stand by making a printable list of the major Disney subsidiaries that you can easily refer to.
Thanks to DowningStreetMemo(s) for hosting the One page, printable .DOC file, and a PDF file. A text file will be hosted there a little later. - (HT to highacidity).
Hang it up it in your home, and workplace (get yourself a sheet protector), where you'll be sure to see it EVERYDAY for the REST of your LIFE.
Almost all of us check the ingredient labels
before we purchase the food we eat. We need to start doing this
NOW for anything that may be related to Disney and ABC as well. If you don't know, or are unsure, check the labeling. If you're still in doubt, Google, or ask in an Open Thread.
I'm terrible with titles, so if you have a better suggestion, please comment.

It's a new mindset folks. It won't be easy (for any of us), after all these years. Not to mention the sheer number of Disney subsidiaries.
