Keep this up, Scapers!

First Post
Virginia Hey sent out an urgent newsletter informing everyone of a David Kemper-approved/organized Protest/Picket/Demonstration in front of the Sci-Fi offices in NYC.
This has been reported all over the fansites aas well, but since it has yet to be posted here, I figured I would just post Virgibia Hey's email:

Newsletter problems
She just managed to get her newsletter system working again.
She had tried to send a letter sometime this weekend, but it just wouldn't go. But we finally received one in our email boxes. Most of the stars have posted messages on their sites. Be sure to check out www.savefarscape.com for all the latest information.

What is happening is the press behind the push to save Farscape, it was even in my local paper. Sci-Fi has to be wondering if the media coverage will help the show, get new viewers!
The show doesn't need help getting more viewers. Its ratings are already quite high. (Although it could always go higher.) It has been Sci-Fi's number one show until they moved it to the 10pm timeslot and put SG1 in the 9pm slot. Now SG1 is number 1 (and FS is #2) because it has the better slot. (Some of the younger demographic is lost when the show is on later.) I'm sure that if the slots were switched around, Farscape would return to #1 with SG1 a distant 2nd. The cancellation has nothing to do with ratings. Sci-Fi was simply trying to bamboozle EMTV into taking a low-ball offer when they had already agreed on a price for 5th season.
The campaign has targetted media outlets. The media is one of the ways they are trying to get the word out there. This has gotten bigger than Sci-Fi would have ever thought possible. They dropped the bomb on the cast and crew (apparently not intending for fans to know), and within the same day, the news was passed on to us. Then the Juggernaut started gaining steam. Check out the transcript of the CNN report. That is quite impressive.

Basically, this is the result of an antiquated TV rating system called the Nielsen Rating. They simply pick a handful of TV viewers to represent 10,000(?) TV audience and whatever they say, the TV execs will based their decision on that.
In this day and age, that sucks!
This should be a purely democratic poll, one man or one household = one vote.
