Citizen Activism: for writers

As a writer in many venues, I strongly support the WGA writers' effort to gain fair share for writers of new media revenues. Jane and the folks at firedoglake.com, along with other bloggers, have launched an easy way you can contact the producers of your favorite shows to express your support. You can, too, here.

Mr. Sunshine and I each picked out our TOP THREE faves and we've sent this quick note:

"Our middle class Middle America household considers your show one of our TOP THREE faves. We support the WGA writers' effort and hope you will, too.

"Please tell the AMPTP to bargain fairly and in good faith and support fair share for all new media for your writers.

"Thank you for this opportunity to tell you we appreciate your show and hope you'll invest wisely for long term creativity, rather than short term corporate plundering."

Whether you compose your own note, or use the talking points suggested, it's easy to do, an opportunity to be a citizen activist. Give it a go.

And we'll see you here tomorrow with fresh produce/food for thought from Prairie. Have an activist day!
