elfsDrew at Fark points me to a wonderful, amazing, lovely idea. The American "Family" Association (which would just love to destroy my family) has put out a call to its tribe: help destroy Hallmark. I'm not much of a Hallmark fan, but they've announced that they've started a line of gay wedding cards and that's certainly fabulous news, and the AFA has naturally cranked the shrillmachine to 11. Donald E. Wildmon is calling for action, dammit. He lies: "Hallmark is a private company obviously driven by greed. Let them know you do not appreciate Hallmark promoting a lifestyle which is illegal in 48 states."
Homosexuality, despite Wildmon's fantasy, is not illegal in any state. Heck, gay marriage isn't even illegal in many states. It just isn't recognized: there's a difference, and Wildmon knows it, but his mouthbreathing tribe is unfamiliar with the distinction. As the saying now goes, the election this year is between those who do nuance, and those who don't.
Anyway, the AFA has provided a lovely bit of astroturf to send Hallmark Chairman Donald J. Hall "a message". Go use it and tell Mr. Hall that you heartily approve of his fabulous taste and his glamorous marketing decision.

The address is the corporate address, so I suspect that substituting the name and title of the CEO (which is Donald J. Hall Jr., President and CEO) would probably be sufficient to get to the CEO.
