Also like the letter-writing idea. I definately think that a deluge of letters to Universal on that day would at the very least make someone take notice. And heck, while we're at it, I don't have any qualms about sending letters off to all the other networks at the same time.
Also like the idea of a standard letter that could be printed out and sent. Likely to get a couple more letters that way if it's easier to do.
Also recall in another thread a mention of sending something like a plastic dinosaur with the letter. As in: a letter can just get thrown away. But a couple hundred thousand plastic dinosaurs... that's something that needs to be "dealt" with. Honestly, there could be phone calls. ("That's right, sir... dinosaurs. Thousands of them.") On the other hand, could also come off as... annoying, etc. Send the wrong message. Which we don't want. (Want Universal to think we're insane in a good way. More soup in the hair, less killing everyone sort of crazy :)
Also, if we're going all out: would some letters to our BDH's be a good idea too?

Nice thought NeuclearDay! Letters to Universal showing our support for the sequel, letters to the BDH's showing our support for them, and letters to Joss telling him how much we love him! As for those out of the US who want to participate, what if we made it that week, as opposed to that day? June 19-23, 2006, the Big Damn Campaign. Now, what we need are the addresses to the proper people, Joss, Nathan, Morena, Adam, Summer, Alan, Ron, Sean, Gina, and Jewel, and Universal's address, maybe Mary Parent's also, since she was the one that got this to work in the first place.
As for the form letter idea, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they show a unity of mind and purpose, which prevents the aforementioned rambling and ranting. The disadvantage is that once they realize that we're all saying exactly the same thing, they might toss them.
How about if we make a universal outline to follow, wich the basic two or three ideas we want to cover. That way we can demonstrate our unity of purpose and thought, while preventing the repetition form letters run up against.
We also need to get as many Browncoats in on this as possible. I mentioned it to the people at The Signal and Firefly Talk podcasts, so once we decide which direction we're going, we can hopfully use them to get our message out, a la Mr. Universe.
Maybe our own Saint Haken could put something on the front page about it. What do you guys think? A few dozen letters is one thing, but a week of tens of thousands of letters is another. At the very least would you give thirty-nine cents to the effort?

Hey! If any of you guys go to conventions or anything like that, you should whip up some flyer to take with you to promote it. There are tons of fans who don't frequent FFF.net, for what I am sure are good reasons in thier minds. Loons.

JUNE 23RD: Take part in our assault on Universal. Commit to buy a copy of Serenity or Firefly, or both, and write a letter to Universal, Joss, and the rest of the BDH's and let them know what we want!

Count me in! Keep the tasks simple, such as buying the DVD from Amazon and a letter to Universal.
Spread the word to all the forum sites and podcast too!

It's good to start getting efforts centralized, but...
FYI: There already is a "Browncoat Day", the name is taken.
Perhaps newer fans aren't aware, but December 9th has been dedicated as "Browncoat Day" because it's the day the "Firefly" DVD box set was released in 2003.

I've got some friends birthdays coming up in summer so they will be getting a copy of serenity as their present.
Simon:"If the battle was so horrible, why did he name the ship after it?"
Zoe:"Once you've been in serenity you never leave"
