Hi,

As a fellow Muppet fan, I know you'll be upset to hear that the Walt Disney Company is trying to replace the Muppet performers with an interchangable bench of substitute puppeteers.

You can help change Disney's mind and keep the Muppets alive, just by signing a petition at savethemuppets.com. The site also tells you how you can write to the people at Disney personally. If you love the Muppets and don't want them to change, please take a moment to visit savethemuppets.com and support One Muppet, One Voice!

Thank you so very much, Berryblue! These muppeteers are as dear to me as the muppets themselves and I hate the thought of them being forceably retired so that Disney (stupid corporate conglomerate that has taken a most horrifying turn for the worst in it's long standing career, imo!) can save a few bucks. It won't be long before these muppeteers all have to be replaced due to failing health, natural disasters and entropy, so I say we cherish what they've given us over the years and honor that by letting them do their job. They're obviously experts in their field...and can you imagine anyone else playing yoda? Or Miss Piggy? The thought makes me ill and it's not a reality I want to face anytime soon. Save the Muppets!

:agree completely! I signed the petition. Thanks for posting about it, Blue! ^_^
