Tell Network CEOs to Give Writers Fair Share |

Update: Talks between the Writers Guild and the producers broke off late Friday when the producers walked away from the bargaining table.
Our good friends over at Firedoglake have thrown their support behind the striking television writers since they hit the picket lines Nov. 5. Now, Firedoglake’s Jane Hamsher has made it possible for you to weigh in and tell network executives to give the writers their fair share.
Click here and you can pick out your favorite show or shows and tell the CEO and executives they need to reach a fair contract with the Writers Guild of America that includes the writers’ fair share of revenue from DVDs, online broadcasts, iPod downloads and other new forms of media—the central issues fueling the strike.
The union returned to the bargaining table this week in the continuing effort to achieve a fair contract.
Along with Firedoglake, progressive blogs coming together to support the striking writers include Raw Story, Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, AlterNet, Crooks and Liars, Digby, Open Left and DownWithTyranny!
On the lighter side, click here to see the music video, “Give Me What is Fair,” set to the tune of the classic country hit, “I’ve Been Everywhere.”
Although the writers may be on strike, their creative minds have been working overtime. Elana Levin at DMI highlights the funniest videos from the strike here. Meanwhile, the writers have come up with a straight-to-the-point, simple picket line chant that cuts to the heart of the matter: “We write. They Wrong.”
