I called Viacom, to protest the censorship of MoveOn, and an interesting
thing happened. The MoveOn website gave us a general number to call. I used that number. I was very polite about my disapproval, as MoveOn suggested. A nice young lady took my call. She gave me another number to call, to protest, as she called it herself, the "censorship."

That number is 212-975-5005.

It was an automated response thing, and they left it up to the caller to tape a response to the CBS decision not to run the ad.

I did leave a response, but I told them they could not automate us out of existence.

I encourage all of you to call.

Also, if anyone has a better number we can all call, and clog up their phone lines, or impede their business day, let me know.

I hope this is not a dupe. Things move so fast in here!

2. The general number is...
212-258-6000

This is the number for Viacom, Inc., CBS' corporate owner. It is the number the MoveOn site gave out for us to call in and complain. When they answer, they will direct you to the number above, 212-975-5005.
