PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hollywood-Hero Joins RNC
in Their Call to CBS to Make Film Available to Historians Before
Airing in November
Hollywood-Hero has read the letter released today by RNC
chairman Ed Gillespie calling for CBS to make a copy of the upcoming television
movie, “The Reagans” available to historians. Mr. Gillespie contended that he is concerned
by reports that the film contains many inaccuracies, some of which have been
admitted to by the producers of the film.
He further stated that a disclaimer should be run during the running of
the film if they don’t make it available for accuracy or don’t make changes, if
inaccuracies are found.
Hollywood-Hero launched its own protest ten days ago and
has received thousands of signers to our letter at
www.hollywood-hero.us/protest_letter_to_cbs.us. The people of America are not going to stand
by and allow a revered president, his wife and his legacy be besmirched by
producers and network presidents known not to be supporters of any Republican,
much less such a successful and loved president as Ronald Reagan.
What’s even more specious is the timing of
this movie. Ronald Reagan is ill and can
not defend himself. Mrs. Reagan spends
every minute of every day caring for him.
We are entering an election cycle, wherein the democrats are attempting
to reclaim the White House. Their
motives are clear. Unfortunately,
most of
Hollywood-Hero strongly urges supporters to follow Mr.
Gillespie’s suggestion of counter- programming by visiting the new website, www.supportreagan.com. The website will provide accurate information
about the Reagan legacy and list ways for concerned viewers to express support
for former President Reagan and his wife, Nancy. In addition, website visitors will be able to
purchase videos of the real Ronald Reagan for viewing that night and to hold
Reagan parties to view it together.
We would like to add one more call to Mr.
Gillespie’s suggestion of counter-programming.
We think that’s a great idea and would like to encourage and enlist
teachers, PTA’s, block clubs, civic organizations, faith leaders and historians
to make these videos available to our children and schools as a fun and
educational history lesson and a “viewing party” at the same time. Most of our children and younger people were
either not born or too young to have experienced the Reagan presidency and it
would be a public service to educate them properly about his term in office. His solid common sense heartland values were
the essence of his administration and are part of his cherished legacy; no
child should be deprived of it.
We have maintained that in
As a matter of historical record, all
presidents Democrat or Republican deserve nothing less.
