Here are all of the details for the new campaign! Please feel free
to ask me any questions you might have regarding our mission, I'd be
happy to help.

If you want this show back you HAVE TO participate - so send as many
letters and emails as possible. This is our last chance so let's
make it count!!!! :)

WE ARE NOT DEAD YET!

Blood Ties Fans Bite Back!
Fans unite to save the show they love. Join us in the fight!

There have been many rumors and speculation circulating regarding
the fate of our beloved show but know this, NOTHING IS OFFICIAL!
There is still a chance to save the show so now is the time to do it!

The most important aspect is that ALL Blood Ties fans join together
to make this happen. There are many websites, forums, MySpace,
Livejournal, blogs and Yahoo groups out there relating to Blood Ties
and all have tried their own campaigns to help the show and that was
not a bad thing but I think as our last push to save the show we
need to prove to the Networks and the media that we are UNITED as
one large group to save the show we love.

Several of us from many of the BT related groups and sites have put
our heads together and came up with a campaign that we can all
participate in and prove our desire to keep our show on the air.

What we propose is a postcard/letter writing campaign that targets 2
Networks and 2 Media outlets each week. While we are not entirely
giving up on Lifetime giving us another season, we would also like
to let other Networks know that Blood Ties would be a great show for
them to pick up. We have a wonderful opportunity right now to sell
our show to them because they are all hurting from the writer's
strike and Blood Ties is not affected by it. This is in our favor as
they look for other programming to air on their network.

Our first week will target Lifetime and the Sci-Fi Channel As well
as E! Online and Entertainment Weekly. The media contacts will be by
e-mail or feedback links only. Written postcards are best for
Lifetime and Sci-Fi. Below the contact info we have included a few
guidelines, just remember to keep your correspondence respectful and
to the point!

Letters to the Editor – e-mail

letters@...

Here are some guidelines to follow when composing your letter,
postcard or e-mail:

- While some of you may have phone numbers to these contacts we urge
you to NOT call them on the phone. Flooding their phone lines would
only serve to anger them and this could work against us.

- Be professional, polite and positive (no Moonlight bashing). Even
though Lifetime has not treated this show the way it should have
been it wouldn't look good to trash the network to others.

- No comparisons to Moonlight - let Blood Ties stand on it's own.

- E-mails to the media should obviously be written differently and
geared towards asking them to do a story on the show or our fight to
save it.

- Letters should be heartfelt, honest and not too lengthy - right to
the point (maybe two paragraphs max???)

- Letters should mention the fact that the show is written and
filmed in Canada with Canadian writers, actors and production
company and is not effected by the writer's strike.

- Fangs, candy bars and other items should not accompany your
handwritten letters. Postcards only please, no gimmicks.

- Do not mention how cute the guys are or how beautiful Christina is
unless we're writing to People Magazine asking that they be
considered as Sexiest Man/Woman of the Year. Refrain from fangirl
comments like "I love the show because Henry is hot!" - we want to
be taken seriously.

- Mention that the show is well written, well acted, funny, camp,
and dramatic where it has to be.

- The show has drawn in new viewers since the show has gone off.
This was accomplished by previous fans who directed the new fans to
the show.
If your handwriting isn't that good, type it but hand write the
signature.

- This is a rare show that encourages family togetherness: Husbands
and wives watched, mothers and daughters watched together. How many
families do you know that sits down together to watch anything? They
did to watch Blood Ties.

- Try to be direct and to the point. Don't just put things to paper
just to say something and fill the page.

- Remind them of all the sites where Blood Ties has a presence:
HeyNeilsen, Savemyshow.com,
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/nominations.html. Remind them of the E!
Online article. http://www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/index.jsp?
sid=nav-gossip
Also mention the map at http://www.frappr.com/bloodties/map
This could be our last chance everyone so let us all band together
and help our show!

Stay tuned for our next group of targets, coming soon!

LET'S SAVE BLOOD TIES!!!!!
