Petition Lifetime

[chesterp]

my family was involved in a very high-profile crime case (our side=victim) a while ago and lifetime didn't offer us anything to make the movie they made. in fact, they did it against our will and without our cooperation. it was horrible, to say the least. they didn't end up using our real names though, maybe they would have had to pay us to use them, though we wouldn't have agreed to that either.

i wonder why they are offering her money if that isn't their usual policy, or if it has to do with wanting to use real info and not 'based on true story' stuff.

Lifetime did the same to my friend, Victoria P? was in the movie in the 80's, I think they troll the court house, they contacted my friends and she said NO................... and later they made a movie. Of course since she did not agree, names were changed, she was mad as he777777777, and she was told "TOUGH SH#####" but if she had a press agent and pursued this...she could have made millions.

isn't it just crazy? i mean, i know money is to be made where people are interested, so it makes sense. the concept though is just so...i don't know, creepy i guess.

Exactly. And this is why those that support this thread should consider contacting the sponsors of 20/20 or any other entity that appears to be considering such a large payout. I think Patty G. had a list of the sponsors.

If anyone has a list of the sponsors, please post here!

I never had or wanted a list of sponsors!

So very sorry, my bad. I know someone gave it to me a while back and I thought they said they got it from you. Maybe it was through a video someone else did and I just put it with your id, since you're always so wonderful with providing those for us.

Over 4000 and counting! WTG WS!

Sorry, JBean. Went to edit that out but appears that was handled except for the quote in your and PattyG's posts.

[DeltaDawn]

I signed the petition..it's the right thing to do.

Thanks, nachomama and DeltaDawn for signing and following the thread. I was going to quit posting updates if I was the only one follwing it. Over 4300 now! We should be well over half-way this weekend, I'm thinking.

 

[lin]

C'mon folks; if anyone hasn't signed yet, and is so inclined, let's get it up to 4400; almost there...

 

[lin]

Woo hoo! Thanks, everyone! Finally hit 4400!

(I had already said I wasn't going to bed until we did; so this is a big deal to tired me.)

Gosh, I hope so --- but no way can I stay awake 'til it hits 4500. Be a nice surprise to wake up to, though.

 

[lin]

Can we get to 4800 today folks?

 

[lin]

Almost to 4500; long way to go to get to 4800 but we can do it!

 

[lin]

over 4500!

 

[lin]

So glad I didn't say waiting 'til 4800 to go to bed this time; petition is only up to 4550. I'm nudging; you can too! I heard but haven't confirmed Fox picked up the story; ok, at least mentioned it. Did anyone else see/hear that? TIA

Often petition's ask where you heard about the petition, no biggie question. Answer the way your comfortable. No shame in WS if you happened to have gone that way.......... The petition is legit. :woohoo: :woohoo:
