I also have started including a link to this site on my blog entries. :) <BR/><BR/>I want to know if WGA supporters are boycotting DVDs or still buying them to support the writers?

At 12 pencils per box, people have spent (as of this writing) $28, 047.00 --- 1 million pencils translates to $83,333.00 -- for expendable pencils. Donations to a charity in the name of the WGA are a way to garner positive media coverage which expresses your support for the WGA while making a lasting contribution to another cause you care about. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Contribute to a cause then send postcards to the studios -- with copies to the media -- stating "I've made a donation to ____ in the name of the WGA. We're doing the write thing, why don't you?" <BR/><BR/><BR/>Here are a few possibilities, but just choose something you care about. <BR/><BR/>- a "Habitat for Humanity" construction project would be a great way to provide housing for a needy person and lends to the issue of long term financial stability. (http://www.habitatla.org/habitat.asp)<BR/><BR/>- sponsor a reading project for kids to address the critical need for reading skills -- would not only help in terms of literacy but also lend to the writers-consumers angle. (http://www.knbc.com/thequills/9419909/detail.html)<BR/><BR/>- St Jude's Children's Research Hospital has established ties with celebrities who are also empathetic to WGA's cause. These existing relationships can provide media support to St. Jude's while showcasing WGA/celebrity efforts in their regard.<BR/><BR/> who would attend a WGA sponsored event and , surely this be levered as a fund raiser for the hospital in partnership with WGA. (http://www.tg.stjude.org/celebrityfriends.shtml) <BR/><BR/><BR/>This is a way to make a lasting impact for both the WGA members and sympathizers while helping others in need.

I hope plan works out. You all deserve more money than what is being asked. <BR/>Here are ideas I've come up with<BR/><BR/>An interactive game where we could dress up the monguls in different outfits and make them do silly stuff (not perverted stuff just silly). This would be another way of making fun of them.<BR/><BR/>Include personal info with contact info or even their mistresses' contact information. Maybe not, bad idea, just being silly now.<BR/><BR/>Writer's send in pictures of their kids wearing raggedy clothing with a letter saying, "for a dollar a day, you can bring this child out of poverty" or have the kids send in pics of their parents sitting around drinking alcohol or a Christmas tree with no presents.<BR/>(I think kids would get a kick out of this, esp. if on tv)<BR/>All of my ideas may be crap,and I apologize ahead of time if anyone is offended.
