I would love for everyone to also remember Michael's estate executors for their invaluable contribution... it was their letter that finally shamed Discovery enough to cancel their disgusting show. We fans got the ball rolling, made the executors aware of the show, and basically built the foundation... it was Branca & McClain who came along to drive the final nail in Discovery's coffin! So to speak
It was so good of them to acknowledge all of us fans in their letter... we know we're doing good work for Michael and now we know for sure they know it too. So I'd love to start a positive campaign of gratitude! Here is their letter to Discovery again, including all their contact info. I encourage everyone to call and leave a message, write emails, fax letters or whatever you can. They are on our side, so let's show them how much we love MJ and thank them!

Here's my email sent today:
Dear Mr. Branca & Mr. McClain:
I'm incredibly thankful for your December 29, 2010 letter to Discovery Communications, urgently requesting that they cancel their so-called "documentary" about Michael Jackson's autopsy. It was your letter that made them re-consider their intention to air it, and I couldn't be more eternally grateful.
As you know, just like the both of you, thousands if not millions of Michael Jackson fans and average citizens were disgusted and outraged to learn of such a program airing. Thousands of us voiced our concerns with online petitions, letter writing and phone calling campaigns, calling cable providers, blocking the Discovery channel, and even boycotting their sponsors. Thanks so much for acknowledging our contribution, but it was your letter that shamed Discovery in the public's eyes, and so they finally had no other choice but to cancel it.
Although there are some that do not support your role as Michael's estate executors for whatever reason, please know that there are many more of us fans who support the important work you do for Michael... your administration of his estate, while looking out for the best financial interests of his beloved mother and children. We as Michael's fans, are proud to defend his good name and legacy, and are very pleased to know both of you are also willing to so effectively do the same.
Sincerely,
