Recognition For Our Cause

Terra King at The Examiner has given our movement some well deserved recognition!

E-mail Blitz

When you send out your e-mails today, try doing a blitz. Here's how:

1. Type all of the appropriate addresses in the to line
2. Come up with a catchy subject (I would also try something that does not have Law and order or Criminal intent or anything related to the show, they might be able to block thsese out)
3. Type your message (sample below)
4. Hit send
5. After you hit send, hit reply or reply all.
6. Remove all of the extra stuff (sent by, any marks that indicate that its been replied to or forwarded)
7. Change the subject line to remove Re:
8. Hit send.
9. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I also suggest changing up your subject line after a few e-mails. You sould be able to send one e-mail about every minute this way.

I also recomend setting up multiple accounts and sending messages from those. Gmail accounts are very quick and easy to set up. http://gmail.com/


Sample Message:

We are the loyal fans of the show Law & Order: Criminal Intent. We are very displeased with the changes that have been made to the cast. We believe that the network's decision has alienated much of the fanbase for this show. This makes us concerned not only for the future of Law & Order: CI, but also for the network because Criminal Intent may not pull in the large ratings that it has previously seen.


Please reconsider your decision to let Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, and Eric Bogosian go. Please pursuade them to continue with the series.

Here's what I said:

Law & Order: Criminal Intent should change its name to Law & Order: Disontent. The fans of Criminal Intent are in an uproar. With D'Onofrio, Erbe, and Bogosian allegedly out of the picture, fans have threatened to boycott USA and its sponsors! They've even taken to sending jars of Marshmallow Fluff to the big wigs at the network!
