So this has never bothered me before I am ashamed to say. But now that I am somewhat entrenched in a TV show I am seeing the light. Not to say that I haven't appreciated the the enormous value of writers before but I have never considered taking action.
I have seen a post calling on fans to contact the Governor of California to intervene - to support the writers and reduce the losses that will be incurred if the strike goes for as long as the last one (22 weeks - that's a long hiatus and a long time to suffer reality TV!)
So here are some details if you are interested:
email contactor:
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
USA
Umm - I don't have much reach, so any flisters who do feel free to share if you think it will help!
