We're waiting for word from the Event Team to know how we all should do this. I'll be posting here soon, or perhaps 11th Hour will.
Well, just to be clear.. NOT so "Uniform" that it looks like we're all sending out the same form letter.. Networks frown on that.
Not that you were suggesting to do that, but just wanted to make it clear to folks that might not know that while the letters SHOULD have the same points, they shouldn't all be written verbatim. It NEEDS to look like a bunch of folks with the same general idea(s) all wanted to express their thanks.
...I think ;)

Actually we just hit up the Sci-Fi channel a while ago, when they did their marathon. But like it's been said before, anything and everything that anybody is willing to do is helpful.
Shiny... Let's hit 'em again while we're at it.. couldn't hurt, and might help... It'd have to be a different type of letter other than "Thanks for Serenity one year later"... but I'm Sure we could all come up with something, even if it's just "Thanks for re-airing the Series".

Yup, and when I receive word back from 11th Hour about how she wants to do this, I'll post with complete instructions, including a letter that can be used as a guideline only.
We don't want to be saying all the same thing, we want this to be an overwhelming amount of personal letters written out in longhand with our own personal thanks made.
ETA: And thanks is the operative word here too. Asking for a sequel or pleading for more, or demanding more won't be what we're looking for. We just want to say thank you! It's our numbers and our demographic that are going to tell them we need a sequel. If our letters talk about who we are, how much we like Firefly/Serenity and say thanks and say a little bit about stuff like, I'm into this show in a powerful way and I'll be buying stuff related to this show from here on out. That should tell them what they need to know.
Our biggest thing though is to be to get the sheer #'s that we need to actually do this and make them sit up and take notice.

Uhhh TRUST me here.. You DO NOT want me "Hand writing" anything bigger than a lunch order.. Engineers have NOTORIOUSLY bad handwriting.. even worse than doctors I'm told ;)
After they read MY handwritten letter, they'd wonder if I was thanking them, or giving them instructions on how to build a cement submarine... in Russian ;)
Thank GOD for "MS Word"

Uhhh, maybe some nice cursive font?
My brother's a chemical engineer and come to think of it.. I wouldn't want him writing a letter either.

Yeah I've heard stories where people would go around and make sure everyone had the ablity to contact home. Over here nowadays, we are pretty much on our own. I rather be in Iraq, already did a tour over there. At least over there the things we do have a purpose and "games" aren't played. More then anything, its a financially difficult situation for us "Junior Marines" (E-1 to E-3) who have dependents. On deployment to a place like Japan we actually lose money while trying to support our family a place like Iraq we gain in non-taxable income.
Your right though, I do not want to be caught up in all that either. Been married for the closer to 3 years now. Seen my family for a year total since the Corps. We never went through 29 Palms, its always been San Diego and Camp Pendleton. The Mississippi River is what decides what Camp you go to for Basic Training. I am from Califorina, so I went to San Diego. Furthermore, on the topic of Marines going to Iraq. There is going to be a new Commandant soon. He said we need to add 5000 Marines to our active duty list, permanently (I think it is to help out in the War in Iraq).
To prevent this from becoming a different discussion other then firefly, I'll just email you or something.
YES YES, I say we Mail letters to anyone who can help us with our goal of getting firefly back on air, and a new movie. Regardless of who it is, if they can help they should get a letter.
Does Joss know that we are doing this?

Okay, so call me a Boot (Newbie in Marine Corps terms) but I do not know what this 11th Hour is that FollowMal is talking about. Is that another web site or something? Which brings me to the point of posting this message.
Does everyone else on different web sites know that we are doing this, so everyone on this side of the 'Verse knows what to do and when to do it?
Also, these ideas are floating around on this web site under different subject names as well. Shouldn't we get everyone together on this?
What is going to be done, Who is it going to be directed to. When it is going to be done has already be made clear. Now is everyone on the same page?
HEY! How about we stand on the studio's door steps and protest any other movie until they make our sequel. We could block traffic and everything! Get us on the NEWS! (Just playing)

Hiya Marine!
11thHour is a member right here on this very board. Probably the best place to address questions about all ongoing campaigns is another of the boards here at FFF.net: http://www.fireflyfans.net/threadlist.asp?b=20
