This has had a notability tag for a year, either it should be deleted or the tag removed. As far as I can tell, the google news hits mentioning it are reporting what it says, not discussing the group itself. Do they make it notable?

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Apparently, even having a big name such as Ed Asner as a spokesman wasn't enough to get this organization off the ground. All I could find as a source was a widely disseminated press release. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 02:48, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. A group focused on protesting a single TV ad?  As WP:CORP says, we may for a non-commercial organization we may look at "[t]he organization’s longevity, size of membership, or major achievements."  As best I can tell, it was a failure, failure, failure. --Glenfarclas (talk) 04:38, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It's never a failure to speak up for what you believe is right. This was an organization of notable people involved in notable events, and covered in secondary sources. Not a major topic, I wouldn't have bothered to write an article on it, but still worth keeping. Steve Dufour (talk) 05:00, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The kind of secondary sources I'd be looking for is reactions by the press to the group's press releases. Can you provide that? --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:49, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
