Nov. 17th, 2007 05:49 pmSaturdays truly are for spamming.
As most of you probably know by now, I support the WGA members and their strike 110%. I also want as swift and amenable end to the strike as possible. In the past week or so I've been trying to find a way to do anything to help the writers out and today one method literally fell into my metaphorical lap.
Thanks to
tightropegirl and her latest post on the strike I found a way to put my money where my mouth is. It's a campaign, much like the effective fan campaigns of old, to send boxes of pencils to the media comglomerates.
I would certainly suggest reading
tightropegirl's post but if you want to skip straight to the action you can go here: http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/2007/11/pencils2mediamoguls.html and show your support.

The AMPTP is facing a hell of a lot of opposition here from the very people who buy their product, and I'll bet their stunned at the support the writers are getting.
