Look at the Olympics that are going on now, some of those athletes must know they are probably going to leave empty handed, but the thing is they still go and fight to the death. If you dont at least try and give it your best shot then you will never know what might of been. This is our chance to show Joss whedon and the cast of firefly along with the networks that the fans of firefly are still here and still want the story to continue. If we remain silent and do nothing then nothing will happen, but if we push this then maybe just maybe it will cause a little spark somewhere and eventually turn into an inferno. Everything has a starting point and who knows maybe this is that starting point.

Just a couple of thoughts:
First, after FOX gets all these gloves, they'll want to donate them somewhere. And that would probably be a medical hospital or clinic. Those doctors won't touch them if they think they're contamminated. So sending a pair of gloves at a time is probably a bad idea. It's better to send an unopened box of 100.
Second, if this gets the kind of turnout we are hoping for, we're looking at maybe hundreds of thousands of gloves. Any medical distributor or supplier will have a hard time with an order that large without at least a few weeks notice. We should have someone working with the manufacturer and giving them a head's up.
Last, as someone says, it makes sense to have a central person coordinating this, order them all at once, and have a single shipment to show up on the desired date. Preferably with enough forewarning and communication that the FOX execs know what these gloves are supposed to mean.

Exactly^^^, otherwise we're all just 'touched' fans that gather like pack animals and aren't taken very seriously.
And then, about what Sickdude said, it's a great idea having the gloves arrive in the condition necessary to allow them to be donated but how does that work as a representation of each one us who would have supposedly sent a separately postmarked response which would much better speak to our numbers?
Remember the $ thing isn't all it's about. Remember how all that fan money collected to save Enterprise went south (it WAS enough to film another season) and had to be refunded because they still wouldn't do it.....

yes mate, im from GB to, just keep an eye on this thread and the link here http://savefirefly.atspace.com/
Hopefully more info will be up soon once the forum is running so we can start to organise things. If you want you could spread the word round about what we are doing and give people the link to this tthread and the new site, the more people that know about it the better.

Once the forums up I'll start notifying people straight away, organizing something for Firefly would be so cool.

once we've got the site up and running (good work so far, by the way... thanks for putting in the time!) I'd be more than happy to get the word out on facebook. I'm already a member (and officer) in some of the groups anyway, so it'll be fairly easy.

Oh, and also, i'd be more than willing to chip in for a domain name (savefirefly.com, or something like that) but would an actual domain name give the movement any distinct advantages (as opposed to just savefirefly.atspace.com)? If not, i say we go with the free one, especially since we'll be needing lots of money for later.
