As a Firefly fan I thank you for signing it. 
Ask for your friends, mother, dog, parrot, golden fish to sign it too.

Just signed it but petition online never work! What we need to do is send e-mail and real mail to the network asking them to keep the show alive!

Well it depends on the company as to which method would be best. So likely the best plan would be for everyone to sign that petition, plus send an email, and as well send them a physical piece of mail with a hand signed list of petitioners from around one's own area. For that last bit I mean going around to malls, schools, churchs, etc and getting signatures from people that may enjoy the show but aren't die hard fans enough to be spending their time at this website to know about sending their own letter.

I belive we must try to do everything we can to try to save this show.
A petition is just one of those things.
But actually, I'm not totally convinced of how endangered is this show. Does anyone knows how was the show ratings yesterday's night?

According to another thread which quotes another website, the early numbers are about 2.7/5

If you havn't done it already I'd suggest joining the fan club at www.fox.com/firefly
Initially they only ask for an email address, gender, and birthdate so I can only guess from that, that they're using this information to gauge viewership as well.

Its only bad news if Fox executives really have drunken their last brain cells away with expensive booze.
If you look at the website according to the Nielsons, America's Funniest Home Videos beat both Firefly and John Doe.
Ugh, how could America's Funniest Home Videos beat anything?
Common sense tells us that obviously the 1000 Nielson families are very old fashioned types... and thats being generous... Hannibal Lechter wasn't crazy enough to watch America's Funniest Home Videos that much...

What does Fox have to replace the show with though? Not much. It would have to be with something like "When Zebra's Attack!" Also there's always UPN if Joss can keep the production costs low.

Exactly.
Fox lost two of their biggest shows recently, Ally McBeal and the X-Files.
All indications are that their other new shows aren't doing amazing either.
It would be expensive and risky to put in another new show as a mid-season replacement, especially at that time slot.
As well, all indications are that Fox has faith in this show and realizes it has a following that isn't clearly represented by the Nielsons.
All that to say... don't lose hope, things look better then they seem but, by no means stop making Fox aware of how you feel.
