Daily Action Item: Archived

Back to Daily Action Item

Miss a day? We'll be archiving the Daily Action Items here so you can jump in and catch up with the fight!

August 3 - August 6

Contacting HBO on Friday, August 3 and Monday, August 6

With the 4th shipment of crackers expected to arrive at HBO on August 3rd, it becomes increasingly and always important to vocalize our support for a second season of The Black Donnellys. This is crucial especially with networks watching the success of the future DVD sales on September 4th. We have shipped a total of 670 lbs of crackers with 80 people donating $1,694.63 thus far.

We need you to call, write and email on Friday, August 3rd and Monday, August 6th. Of course, you can email and write and send letters throughout the weekend. I know you guys have all done this already with NBC in April, but now it's time to pick up the pace with HBOThe idea is to vocalize our support in numbers and prove that The Black Donnellys is far from "dead".

Straight from HBO's Web site:
