Denny's viral "campaign"

All of us have to put aside our difference and get after these companies that think they can be cute, and play the political entertainment game. Just as Jones Soda added RP, we need to get after all of these companies and make sure they include all of the candidates. Be it RP, Barr, Baldwin or Nader, these companies need to hear from us!
The latest one is now Denny's. Who's up to making a video? I'm not sure if I have the talent to do so, but as a fellow restaurateur, I'll email them and give them a bit of my mind.
Here's their site:

that would make an impression

I just sent this off to them. We need to do this to every company that shows this kind of bias.
To whom it may concern,
As a fellow restaurateur, I found out about your newest viral campaign on one of the industry web sites. But as an American that is completely unhappy with the two choices offered up by the two old party that are destroying this country, I can't believe the hard working people at Denny's are quisi-endorsing them over other choices.
Personally, I am planning on voting for Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party candidate. Other people I know are looking at other alternatives choices. While you have a right to vote for whomever you want, I find it reprehensible that you would promote the falsehood that there are only two choices. Perhaps you need to consider that a full one third of Americans that are registered to vote, are NOT registered as a Democrat or Republican. Perhaps you feel saying a big FU to that one third of the public is wise, but trust me, this will backfire on you faster than you can do a Google search.
If you are smart, you will change the rules of your promotion immediately. If not, I know I will be one of thousands of people that will be making this campaign of your viral, but not in a way that you had hoped.
These are rough times for all of us in this industry. I hate to see a stupid move like this do damage to your chain, and trust me, it will.
