  Good point Spud!  I learned from economics class that if we, the
  consumers don't buy, the product will not be furnished.  There's
  grounds here for a major threat.

  It is not too late to save Susan.  She still has a few days of
  taping left.  TPTB will be returning to the studio soon.  Let's
  get going!

  I say, let's not wait until the last day or two this time.
  Let's all start sending right away.  Doesn't the office re-open
  on Monday, January 4th.  I think everyone should send at least
  one fax, make one phone call, or send one letter a day.  We
  don't want them to turn off the fax machine or put on the
  answering machine like they did last time.  We want to strive
  for action.  If we do this a little at a time and in a steady
  process, I think it will mean a lot more.  Afterall,  they
  might not know exactly how many people are bombarding the studio
  and it might make even more of an impact!

  Yes, I believe a true bombardment is in store for that day but,
  let's also try to begin before then!

Good idea.  In fact post 'em if you have time.  The more ammo we have to
strike them with, the better.
