Writers' Guild Votes to Strike

NATIONAL STRIKE DAY PROPOSED!

Dear Americans,

I would like to propose a "NATIONAL STRIKE DAY" for every American that is able. I have heard France has been doing this with great success. Please let us get everyone engaged here and anywhere we can post this message or one of your own.

The Questions I would ask here are as follows: What day should it be and when and how often? Once a month to start or? I believe this would really give the people back their power in this country. It is time to take action! If we do not take some action now as our Declaration of Independence says we have the right and obligation to, it looks like our country will fall.

People are losing their homes by the millions, and jobs of course with it, and our government with the media's help are trying to hide it from us. They are going to let us just fall, we have to save ourselves, to many good people's lives are being ruined.

This is the responsibility of a free people. Be sure the world bankers have a diabolical plan for us and unless we truly want to be slaves, we have to do something. I am open to other ideas, or maybe someone is already doing this (I heard something). I plead with each American here on Twitter to get involved and support this idea, and everywhere else we can get this message out.

This will be a peaceful way to get our government's attention, while we take back our country. Trust me if George Washington and the many honorable men and women who fought our war of Independence were here today, they would have already taken action years ago, many years ago, and I doubt it would be very peaceful.

Thus, no one works until our demands are met. Start with say five or ten demands. So my idea, proposal is that Americans just go to the street, your city hall, or what is ever appropriate in your state. No one works until our demands are met. But absolutely No violence, no vandalism, no matter what please. That will destroy our honest political cause afforded us by our constitution. In fact, we should make, in my opinion that it is a very somber and quite sit in, almost complete silence until our demands are met, so they cannot try and intimidate people or arrest them unlawfully as they have been doing. I believe this is very important point, no conflict what so ever, just freeze everything. We are all allowed to stay home from work. We need to get employers involved obviously.

My list of demands start as follows:

1.) No more bail outs, but instead money is to be given directly to the American people.
I heard some experts are saying that this is the only real cure, some 450,000.00 to each American is the answer to our financial crisis. http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?=26321

2.) Abolish the IRS, period!

3.) Reinstate our fourth Amendment rights.

4.)

5.)

I hope others will give their suggestions. I would recommend we elect a board and thus work to organize our first AMERICAN NATIONAL STRIKE DAY, or if someone has already started this, please if anyone is aware of this let me know.

Sincere hope for our beloved nation,
Stephen Paine

I hope the strike ends in favor of the writers...who will then be inspired to churn out awesome, witty shows sparking a decline in reality programming! A girl can dream...

I love my TV. When they run out of shows that have already been made, I'm going to be really sad!

I just hope it doesn't affect Moonlight,,that is one great new show,,and they got picked up for more shows and now this,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hey, I'm a writer. Strike or no strike, I still can't get a job.

Reality shows are the future of television........and cable. Those shows do not require writers. I hope you writers on strike never come back. We don't need you. The "studios" can have office people gather e-mails sent in from viewers who write for them, and the ones who get their stories used, will get mentioned in the credits. Furthermore, that other post about SNL is true; SNL, today, is the absolutely worst American program currently in syndication. Writers go home, and don't come back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I beleive in getting what's coming to you but..... most shows are poorly written, SNL is not what it used to be. And...... when Disney went on strike along time ago, there were 9 guys who didn't strike. These guys went on to animating many of the movies Disney is really well known for. The nine old men. So if anyone wants to get their career started as a writer, this would be a great time to step in.

maybe now i can get a job..... i wanna write....ill take their places.

Lost is the only show anyone is actually writing anyways... 4 8 15 16 23 42

how big is the writers guild of america? How many writers does it affect?

Who is going to write my comments on Current.com now?!

as long as this strike doesn't have any impact on LOST......
