Pay our writers! Save our shows!

Thanks to methosrocks for this suggestion about something, we the fans, can do to help a little towards the strike.

I have a simple suggestion in that regard, and I was thinking of setting up a blog and posting links to it, but I'm so technically challenged it's not even funny! Since you already attract large groups from several fandoms, I wondered if you would consider posting this suggestion?

It boils down to sending a postcard to whichever of the networks listed below carries your favorite show(s), or to all of them, saying something along these lines:

Pay our writers! Save our shows!

I hereby pledge my support for the striking writers of the WGA in their efforts to obtain suitable compensation for programming aired via the internet and all forms of "new media", and I will express my solidarity by refusing to watch any new game shows or "reality programming" introduced during their strike.

Signed:

It's not much, but it could catch on and lead to the networks receiving quite a few pledges to boycott whatever cheap programming they're counting on feeding us over a long strike. I also think it would give the writers a nice morale boost too.

What do you think?
