CSI letter writing campaign
Those who have been watching CSI know that Sara survived the season premiere. It was a wonderful episode, Jorja Fox was amazing and the affection between Sara and Grissom was palpable, especially in the final scene. You would think that all GSR fans would be ecstatic.
Unfortunately that's not the case. Less than 24hrs after the premiere, came news that Jorja Fox may not be staying past the seventh episode due to contract negotions gone bad. Well, the good folks over at Your Tax Dollars At Work have decided not to leave any stone unturned in their quest to keep Fox on the show and GSR alive. Below is the text of a post which kicks off a letter writing campaign:
For those of you who aren't aware of Michael Ausiello's recent interview with Jorja Fox and the subsequent goings on in Booking and On the Board, we're starting a campaign that involves mailing TPTB flyers with dollar bills. We think it's a great way to make an impact.
All right, it's ready!
Here's what you do:
1) Print a flyer. You have a choice of using the plain black-text one with picture, the red-text one, or the red-text one with picture. Just copy and save the files at the bottom of this post. Big thanks go out ot csifan2005 and Unspoken for their work on the flyers!
2) Add the dollar bill -- or whatever your country's equivalent of a dollar is. You don't have to go exchanging money if you don't live in America. Money is money, and we're doing this to make an impact, so it might be cool if they got euros and British pounds and lots of other stuff! If you like, secure the money to the flyer with a paper clip or tape. Whatever you do, make sure to fold the flyer around the money, so you can't see the money through the envelope.
3) It's optional, but you could add a letter praising the premiere and bringing up Ausiello's column. If you do, don't come off as a rabid crazy fangirl. Be nice, and be SANE.
*If money is scarce -- something I think we all understand -- and you don't have much you can give, target Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar. If you can't participate in the flyer campaign and still want to help, PLEASE mail a letter. Or ten. It really does help. Snail mail works.
4) Mail your envelopes to this address:
Carol Mendelsohn/Dustin Lee Abraham/Sarah Goldfinger/David Rambo/Naren Shankar/Doug Petrie/Allen MacDonald, etc.

If you have trouble with that link I have put just the flyer up on VftS:

There are a lot of GSR fans in this comm, I know, so I'm hoping this post will inspire them to join the campaign. I have no doubt that GSR fans would do the same for us, and it's interesting to note that the relationships between Grissom/Sara and House/Cameron have a LOT of parallels. Let's not have Sara's departure set a precedent for our ship!
