An Urgent Appeal From The Campaign Crew<\/p>\n

Hey Roswell Fans,<\/p>\n

We’re writing to you tonight to address a very serious matter concerning
\nRoswell. Our intention isn’t to cause panic with what we are about to say,
\nbut to gain everyone’s FULL cooperation. Unfortunately, based on the present
\nratings, we believe that Roswell is in greater jeopardy now than it has been
\nat any time this season. Although Roswell’s overnight ratings for last night
\nwere pretty good (4.2\/6), Roswell’s national ratings were only 2.6\/4. This
\nis not so good. The national ratings are in a downward spiral, leaving our
\nfavorite show’s future swinging in the wind.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that we only have a week before sweeps begins, and we have to
\nact quicly because of that. The good news is that Roswell fans CAN make a
\ndifference once again. The only way that we can be effective is for ALL OF
\nUS to work together.<\/p>\n

To better provide the fans with a direction in which to act, we have come up
\nwith a list. We despirately need EVERY SINGLE Roswell fan to do as much as
\npossible to help the show. Here’s what we think will help. Items are placed
\nin the order of importance. Those at the top of the list are those that we
\nfeel are most imperative.<\/p>\n

1) We need to spread the word about Roswell. Please tell all of your
\nfamily, friends, co-workers, neighbors, classmates and acquaintances about
\nthe show. This is by far the best way to get the ratings higher. Some of
\nthe people that we happen to tell will be Nielsen viewers. In addition
\nspread the word at message boards, chatrooms and everywhere else on the
\ninternet and in the world around you. We have to increase the public’s
\nawareness of Roswell ! Be creative! Fans have explored many options in the
\npast to increase Roswell’s popularity. If any of your friends would like the
\nNewsletter, they only need to send an e-mail to scott73@saveroswell.com .<\/p>\n

2) Get more people involved in helping with the campaigns. Get other
\nRoswell fans to help you! Get your friends to help. Even if they are not
\nhuge fans, they could do you the favor if they have time to spare. This is
\nreally important, folks! Send this notice to every Roswell fan that you
\nknow.<\/p>\n

3) Please make a donation to PCF if you haven’t already. We’re trying to
\nhelp a child and generate publicity for the show at the same time. Ask
\nothers to donate. Organize a benefit. Send the press release from the
\nprevious newsletter to as many media organizations that you can, by both
\ne-mail and snail mail. These include newspapers, magazines, radio stations,
\ntelevision stations, etc. This is important for both local and national
\nmedia. At the same time, tell them how great the show is! A good place to
\nstart is here:
\nhttp:\/\/www.fanforum.com\/howto\/SOSsite\/page4.shtml<\/p>\n

And send it to the Associated Press:<\/p>\n

Associated Press
\nGeneral\/National Desk
\n50 Rockefeller Plaza
\nNew York, NY 10020<\/p>\n

4) Send an e-mail to The WB about how great last night’s show was and how
\nmuch you enjoyed it. Be specific and heartwarming. Tell them how it excites
\nyou. We need good letters every day! Accentuate only the positive. No
\nnegativity! These can be sent to faces@thewb.com . Also post on their
\nmessage board at http:\/\/www.thewb.com\/. Let’s drown them with e-mail and
\npostings.<\/p>\n

5) Participate in the Season 3 letter writing campaign. More details are
\nhere: http:\/\/crashdown.com\/\/news\/1623.shtml<\/p>\n

6) Write to the sponsors. We have a relatively complete list of sponsors and
\nsample letters at: http:\/\/www.saveroswell.com\/sponsors.html<\/p>\n

7) Write to the WB Affiliates. Tell them how much you love Roswell. Send
\nthem the PCF Press Release. I will send our best contact list in another
\ne-mail very soon.<\/p>\n

If every Roswell fan is dedicated enough to do everything on this list, WE
\nWILL PREVAIL. We need to act quickly and cohesively. Please spend as much
\nof your spare time on this as possible.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for everyone’s help and support. We really need it in order to
\nsecure a 3rd season.<\/p>\n
